sc49erfan15 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I swear we've had a thread on a topic like this before, but I can't find it.Today, I passed a truck used for a pressure washing business. I immediately noticed something funny about their logo - it contained the business name, and a clip-art pressure washer... but for the "water" coming out of the pressure washer, they had used the mid-1990s Houston Astros' star, colored blue! Quick and dirty Paint mockup, it looked something like this...Logo theft, of course, but I must say it's significantly more creative than the used car lots I've seen (Jay's and Reese's) that used the graphite-era Jays wordmark and the logo for Reese's peanut butter cups.

zpqmaowl Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutmasterflex Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 There was that politician who tried to steal the Columbus Blue Jackets' logo...So he's from Oregon, yet he uses a logo from Ohio?Makes sense.After realizing that his logo is similar to the Jackets' logo, he said, ""If anything, I hope this raises awareness for the Columbus Blue Jackets.""Awareness" like the Blue Jackets are some kind of terminal illness. https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/U-S-Senate-candidate-on-how-campaign-stole-Co?urn=nhl,227264 Go A's!

Clintau24 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've seen at least 2 or 3 different trucking companies that use the circular SEC logo here in Alabama. You think they'd at least use the retired pennant logo... "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchCityColtsFan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 my high school uses both the Louisville and arizona Cardinals logos. but i agree, its un-creative and lame for schools to steal logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 my high school uses both the Louisville and arizona Cardinals logos. but i agree, its un-creative and lame for schools to steal logos.high schools simply don't have the money to pay a designer for a logo so adapting a pro logo to their needs is a lot of the time the only option. colleges do have the money to pay for a design, so using other teams logos is completely unacceptable.

PhantomDreamer Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Are they affiliated with the Mariners? Are they using the logo with the permission of the Seattle Mariners?They're a summer collegiate team. As far as using the logo with the Mariners' permission.? I have no idea.A more "traditional" look, buttoned shirt with the obligatory piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
