Hello, I am getting my new embroidery machine tomorrow and Im looking for an image to play around with. Being a Red Sox fan I was wondering where I could get the Boston "B" Digitized. This is for my own personal use and not to sell. Being new to all this I didn't know if a digitized would do it or not seeing its a trademark logo. I am only getting the basic lettering software for now. I was thinking of just using the TGIF font and add an outline, but I wanted that 3d look like on the hats. Is there somewhere I can buy this logo already done? Thanks in advance...Nick
Or get a high quality image of it, and send it to one of those Chinese ladies that Digitize images for like 1$ a 1000 stiches. Im sure they wont mind about laws!
How can the "B" itself be copywriten? that B can represent any team or company. pm me with your email and i can help you out with some 3d logos to play with.
If you want to test it, go sew the B on some blue hats, set up a both, and try selling them right outside the home plate entrance at Fenway Park and see what happens. Or call MLB and tell themyou have some hats that you'd like to sell to them for their web site. You and the person that manufactured the B would then be prosecuted. And yes even if you sat out their and gave them away its still the same.
Its still a licensed item. Will they come after them, probably no. Is it probably illegal, yes. Its no different than going into a store a taking something for "personal use". Just because its the a big bad company or professional sports team does not make it right. How would you feel if you came up with a design, and then 1 person creates it just for themself? Then 10... 100... 10,000 people all make it for themselves, does it matter to you if you are doing this as a business? There are plenty of ways to do things, some choose the right path and some choose dark side. It really makes no difference to me in this case but that's what copyright and trademark laws are for, to PROTECT those that create it.
I was wondering the same thing, I was trying to get a hold of some MLB logos. I've only had limited luck digitizing them myself. Looks like they're off to china...
MLB digitized logos...
