Ann, I am as guilty as the next person here. But I was very surprised that the luggage had the Crossfire logo on the tags. With that in mind, I bet that logo is copywrited material as well. So how do you know you are allowed to use that logo?

Just curious thats all. One logo I have yet to see Chrysler use is the Roadster version.

I want the blue clock. PM sent.

 

James,
Andrew had answered that question way back for me, that the tag image is free to be used. The Roadster I believe is not an official logo from Chrysler but an interpretation of what this coupe style logo would look like as a Roadster that someone had created. I changed the design for my items, just a personal preference on my part. Also I don't have to be wary about using someone else's property without permission. Your Roadster is original to you though, it's not a copy of mine or the first one.

I guess it is worth checking into the real answer, I think the SRT6 is Trademark protected as well.

 

The Corporations have lawyers on retainers who just send out a standard letter, they insert your name and send it out for the price of a stamp. If you ignore it and then get a second letter that is when you should get your lawyer involved. $$$$$
If you give away a few articles its normally OK if the product does not demean their product but when you make money on their registered logo they step in.
They pay big bucks to devise and promote a logo then someone else steps in and makes money on it, what would you do?

 

Regardless of whether you use copywrited material or not, as long as you don't advertise publicly, you probably won't be bothered. Now if you set up a public access website or set up a vendor booth at Woodward, multiple listings on Ebay, you may run into some trouble.

Just like a certain company has a link to buy shirts, but you can't access it unless you know the link, it is not listed on their retail site, good idea.

Personally I don't have a problem with it, many people on this forum have great talent and capibilities to make Crossfire items for us that normally are not available. But they must be very careful about how and where they advertise it.

Keep up the good work for us Crossfire owners!

PS Ann I still find it hard to believe that the luggage tag logo is not copywrited.

 

Wouldn't that just figure! I try to be a "good egg" and it will turn out that I'm not OK either. I don't know where to check into the question about the tags though. Also I wonder if asking around would draw attention to the whole subject, as you said there are people who supply others with items here, myself included. Getting the whole image usage shut down is not what I'd like to be known for

 

Alrighty! Just whipped out some Stainless license Plates. I think these are pretty cool and I like them alot. These will run $22.99. They are laser cut from 16ga Brushed Stainless Steel and will be posted on the website tonight or tomorrow.

 

What size (height and width) are these plates ??

 

They are 6" x 12" and the holes are 7" on center. I measured my plate before we cut em. We can cut them whatever size you want if you need it different.

 

wow...gorgeous

 

2 questions. how big and how much?

 

my laser will hold a 5' x 10' sheet.

 

yeah i'd say thats a big sign.... so how much will it cost me for one of the normal coupe?

 

how big? how thick? stainless? regular steel? get me some specs and ill shoot ya price.

 

Nice looking stuff!
already ordered t-shirts. On my way back to the site for license plates and key chains!
