I guess it sort of doesnt matter now as she has chosen number 2. It is obviously different but i dont feel in a good way. Number 1 and 3 did only take me 10 minutes for the pair of them but they was only ever meant to be as ideas to see what she liked then it would of been passed onto a designer...
Thanks for everyone's replies. So basically I created my current logo in a cheapy app as purely a concept before she even stared her business and she loved it. I said it's only a concept but she wanted to run with it. Picture 1 was my preferred logo as although it's easy to be copied to the font...
Completely agree with everything you have said. I passed on the information about 'passing off' but because it has happened so many times i think she decided she wanted a rebrand.
I have explained that it will be just as easy to copy any new one she creates without protection.
This is not...
My friend has a very successful business in our local area doing semi permanent make up and after 4+ people copying her she wants to rebrand to something not quite as easy to copy.
She has decided but I feel she is making a mistake. I don't want to lead this conversation in any way so i will...
A bit harsh really. She is the main SPMU artist for a reason, because she provides the best service and is exceptional at her work.
But when she has built up her client base it seems unfair to have her own clients message her asking to take her up on the deal she is offering. Of course she...
If that is the case then fair enough but what I will say is this isn't a boring generic font like arial, Helvetia or times roman etc this is a fancy script font. It's very noticeable.
I think she may need to get a very similar design done by a calligrapher which would then fall in the category...
Think you missed the point Jamie. Of course if people are using different fonts that are freely available of course that is acceptable but when the exact font is used it makes a difference.
I will get the pic hosted now and pm the pic to everyone
It's not a custom font. It is a generic font that anyone can use but it's the arrangement of it all not the specific font. If they used that writing but on a teal background or something then although it still would be 100% ok at least they have made it different. This is just an outright copy
Now I know many larger companies commission custom fonts but some other do use generic fonts.
I know sky has a custom font more than likely but let's just say they didn't and a new to company use the exact colours and font but in a different name. Would that be ok?
I have tried convincing her but it's so well known and she loves it and doesn't want to change. I created a much better logo but she's not agreeing.
I know it's only a font but surely there must be some protection. It's not like it's a generic arial font or something
Happy for this to be moved to the relevant section if it doesn't belong here.
I have a friend who is now the largest semi permanent make up (SPMU) artist in Southampton after quitting her well paid job in the city. She was only doing SPMU part time and put up a Facebook post regarding a...
Thanks Sam. That certainly clears things up. I was just hopeful that fulfillment centers could gain the buying power of the larger retailers by combining orders from many companies.
If this was possible then we wanted to offer free next day delivery for all customers. This would just be...
