    Translation - you shouldnt have done it. You used DP's logo without Shawn's permission.

    If he wanted to, he could require you to destroy everything you had made with the DP logo.

    Shawn is just being a nice guy. I can tell you, I wouldnt be so nice.

    Ok, you spend money on having a logo designed, then spend time and money building that brand. After all that I will come in and use your brand without your permission. Lets see how you feel then.

    When we organized the DP meet, i PMed Shawn and asked for his permission to use the DP logo on the return gifts we were distributing to the attendees.

    He replied back and provided the EPS file of the logo as well. However, due to shortage of time we could not get it screen printed on the wireless keyboard mouse we distributed, but we got it on the wrapping sheet.

    It would've been good if you PMed Shawn and asked for his permission before making a commercial use of his logo.

    Anyhow, i like your t-shirts and mugs, do you ship to India?

    I'm going to buy one and if the cotton is cheap and it starts falling apart, Im goin' to sue your ass

    hehehe

    Seriously though, its a great idea to have DP shirts available but it is someone profiting off of someone elses branding in the end. I commend the OP for his enthusiasm but as Joey said, if someone started selling stuff under my business name and then only gave me 30% of the profit, I would probably bring them to court.

    I think its pretty cool of Shawn to actually let him sell the unnoficial shirts....Kudos

    You all seem wrong to me guys, this is not Shawn's logo, he did not create it, it is not the official logo at all.

    This logo was created by a member here who will also get a portion of the affiliate dollars. And also, Shawn did reply, and said it is ok to distribute those. So i think replies like that by joeychgo are posted just to ruin other's threads. Really appreciated :mad:

    For those who liked it and replied about it, thank you :D

    Removing the Link is not the option.

    If the name comes, OFFICIAL DIGITAL POINT, this means, It is approved by Digital Point and Digital Point has sanctuaned (sp) it.

    So, untill DP does it, you can say... just DP T-Shirt :D


    Great Job By the way, I might plan to own one ;)

    Errr - Nobody wanted to ruin your thread pal. What you are doing is copyright / Trademark infringement and needed to be pointed out.

    Tell you what. Try this. Have the phrase "I Love Google" printed on some shirts... Then sell them (somewhere else besides here, Shawn has enough troubles).

    Lets see what happens. :) I bet Google is THRILLED about it. Im sure they'll be happy as a can be when you send them their 30% cut. :D

    The name Digital Point, is part of the brand and trademark. Its not about ruining your thread, its about your copyright / trademark infringement. No matter how well intentioned, it is what it is.

    Tell me off if im wrong, but isnt only abuzant infringing trademark laws on the logo?, becuase "digital point" is not a trademark, shawn or who ever has own trademarked "digital point solutions".

    1- Thanks for all those that are supporting me
    2- Didn't Shawm himself say "Its ok selling them? did you read that?"
    3- Don't you think it time to attract Shan'w attention back here to this thread?

    Good luck everybody, Ruslan

    they look great but the only thing I would request is to add the URL to the site under the name.

    Actually if you want to get technical, "Digital Point" (alone) is a registered trademark.

    But it's not really the point... my only problem with it was calling them "official" Digital Point stuff, which they aren't. At some point there probably will be official Digital Point swag, but it will be made/sold by us.
