Unicyclist Logo à la NBA

You've put your design on the internet. You copied it from the NBA
logo. You ask us to respect the copyright, but you've offer no evidence
that it's truly, legally copyrighted or registered in any legal
manner.

I don't need or want to copy it, but it seems to me you've no legal
right to your demands.

Peace, soldier.

Did you happen to check with the NBA to see if they have this "No
Derivative Works" on their copyright? You alter it from them and then
turn around and claim it as your own design, not to be altered. Sounds
hypocritical. You are also stating that it's a "Unicycle NBA logo".
There is no basketball in your logo so why say "NBA"? And NBA is a
tradmark. Maybe you should rethink the whole copyright and trademark
issue on your end.

If I were to use such a logo, I'd use it for uni basketball (to further
annoy the NBA if they ever took notice).

Print shirts, sell shirts, send Hyperactive man a free one. Let him sue
you. Where would that go? Let the NBA sue you. Where would that go?

As for the NBA, they do not own the concept of a red and blue
background. I would guess that as long as your unicyclist's pose is not
too similar to the one in the NBA logo you are not infringing on their
copyright.

But I'm not a lawyer.

Bass Ale doesn't own the concept of a triangle, but if I brew my own
beer and try to sell it with an upside-down red triangle on it, I could
be successfully sued by Bass.

If you were to use the logo in any commercial context (for example, for
unicycle basketball jerseys at NAUCC), they could claim that it implies
endorsement by the NBA and hit you with a cease-and-desist order.

It all looks fairly good except the left arm. I would try to modify the
left arm a bit perhaps. If time after that, maybe the wheel, but the
wheel doesn't really annoy me.

agreed that you would lose that battle with the NBA :- )
