What about if we put www.opel.de down the bottom in real small font of our logo to 'link' blitz in with their site for them, cause mentioning of their website should make it ok to use there logo relative to their page...:p
also its registered as lightning (ours could be 'Z') also it breaks the circle ours don't have to... adaptations to the the registered image should allow us to use it.. also its registered as 'class 12 and 37' these appear not to cover signage, not sure if there maybe another registry to cover thAT?? just putting some possible loopholes out there
@ tomtom, money is is the root of all sueing, we all understand this, but they can still threaten to sue which will pretty much means the owners will have to shut this great community down, im with you (i think) and brady, make a change so that theres no risk of that happening...
btw blitz through australia is still possible, i like that one, prob my fav of the ones i did...
copywrite/patent/whatev that thing was, specifies "cutting circle"...
@ manda, opel.de reference may work on website, but it would need to be on every sticker too, not cool :p
brady, whatever you decide, im sure it will be the best of all worlds, just keep us in the loop :D
Just to show that things CAN get out of hand

wow,
that has got to be the biggest political crapfight i have ever seenQuote:
I'm sorry, but at this point we will not be producing the 2008 BMC Calendar, featuring our 2007 Members of the Month, solely due to Ford Motor Company's claim that THEY own all rights to the photos YOU take of YOUR car.
that sorta bs makes u wanna NOT own that particular car.. obviously as the article pretty much states lol
Thats America for you, land of the long white litigeous lawyer.
In Australia it would be different as its a personal posession and there are freedoms allowed as such.
That would be nice to organise for opelaus :) hint hint hehe
i had to laugh at this comment though:

we are all missing the point here. Anyone who owns a Ford deserves what they get.
OK, our legal person (yes we have one!) has advised against using any form of Intellectual Property that belongs to Opel in Germany regardless of how trivial it may be.
As there was a fair few submissions and since this thread has almost been dead for a week, it will be closed and once we work out our design/logo, I will start a new thread.
