  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Reduser Logo (contest?)

Love it, Ace !

Can you do a version with a single radial gradient across the RED letters ?
Instead of 3 - just looks a little much ... but I've been worng before.

cheers

Here's an interesting fact about use of fonts in logo's... If you alter the shape of the font from the original then you don't need to actually own the copyright to use that font because it has been modified and is classed as a new font. That said they are pretty cheap nowadays anyway so it's fairly irrelevent. But if for example you were handed an entire font foundry on disk and put them on your computer and then proceeded to make logos left right and centre you'd only have to modify the font's shape ever so slightly in order not to fork out for any of the fonts and it's perfectly legal... naff all to do with cameras though so I'll shut up!

I don't think that is quite right. I seem to recall that you can't just edit the data in a font, you would have to redraw it from scratch. In the UK, at least, the actual shape of the letters have copyright themselves too. So if the font you are using as the basis for your redrawing is in copyright you have to redesign it signifcantly. This is the reason the font Arial looks so awful, it's Monotypes dodgy reworking of Linotypes Helvetica. It is also the reason Linotype is constantly suing companies who rip off their fonts, rename them and sell them on as something else.

The use of commercial fonts in logos is one of those areas that is a bit grey. I think it is usually against the terms of the font license but no one is going to come after you unless you are a big fish.

Just participating in the fun...

I can see that the Logo is now up there.

While it's a great logo it looses readability with the Red camera in the background, especially the carbon rods.
