UnderDogX Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well, it's about 2:30am here in Jersey and I couldn't sleep so I (for reasons completely unknown to me ) I decided to take a crack at the banner on the main page...It started out as just an updated version of the main logo (for a sig or something) but then I took a crack at redesigning the whole banner...not that there is anything wrong with the current banner or logo but I couldn't sleep and was bored so let me know what you think... My version of the main page banner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 It's pretty but the NJ looks too similar to the NJ Devils actual logo... yes -- DM had to make it less like the actual NJ Devils logo for copywrite reasons. Keep fooling around - it's fun even if it never gets adopted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I like it, but as PK said anything that looks to close to their logo/artwork always has Mr Devs VP emailing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevils_info Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm surprised you actually get contacted about that DM. I've never heard from anyone from the official organization, ever. When did they last contact you? They may not care anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderDogX Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ah time to prepare an email to the New Jersey Devils Organization... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's great...I appreciate everyone who said they like it...if you are serious about emailing the Devils to ask permission on using it then here is a pic of just the logo. Again, Thanks for all the positive responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I should have mentioned I did like your graphic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I can't understand WHY though.... I mean this isn't for profit. This is just a forum for Devils fans... growing their product for free. I guess any kind of marketing is the antithesis of the organisation. Free marketing is even worse. Check out Ranger's cafe's banner. Edited October 12, 2005 by Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Ranger's cafe's banner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sure the Devils are not the only ones that care. They probably don't want to take the chance of their logo being associated with anything possibly negative or something they can't control. This board is perhaps the most popular Devils board so they probably pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to prove in court that they actively defend their trademarks otherwise they can lose rights to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some sites use their logos freely doesn't mean they have permission. They probably just go unnoticed. I'm sure (as Kyle above proves) there are other Devils site that use the logo and have not been contacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
