Browsing JGM while waiting for a client website to upload and realised that the current image and logo on JGM wouldn't translate well to print, marketing material, stickers etc...

So, seeing as I had a few minutes spare, had a little play with logo ideas lol



The things you do when you're bored eh

 

Monster Energy wouldn't like it, they are in court with Monsterfishkeepers afaik.

 

AFAIK You can't copyright a word or colour, unless of course the word is specific to you.

i.e: not the word monster and not the colour green, even though this green is a different rga/hex colour.

I think the case with MFK is more regarding the 'M' symbol.

 

Yeah they are still battling with Monster Fish Keepers I believe

 

Simon will getcha

 

It's a joke TBH and I know a few people boycotting the overpriced drink because of it.

 

Scoob noob are you a designer?

 

Yes mate, web designer, developer and everything inbetween

 

The logos fine for print and graphics:

 

I wasn't referring to that, more the image with Jolly Green Monster on it.

But tbh, that could also do with some work

 

im sure theyre devestated and crying themselves to sleep in their beds made from stacks of money, with their quilts stuffed with money, their tears might even be ruining some of the notes they use as pillows haha

 

I think Simon as been around a bit longer than Monster brand in the UK.

I am surprise Prodrive aren't after McLaren for their P1.

 

I thought Simon WAS the monster?

 

Not sure That is correct

Microsoft are have to rebrand their skydrive product after being sued by BSKyB

Cool can you pm me your details, got loads of work which I am currently outsourcing. However I am after one prompt designer.....it's very rarely you find a designer and developer....your either great at one or the other! Send us a link with some of your work please.

 

Yes, as I said, unless its specific to your company or product, which that is.

For instance, Bob's Gearboxes, Bob's Windows, I don't think either could protect 'Bob'.

 

Sure.

Originally a self taught designer, but through necessity l then taught myself development.

 

They don't look very jolly.

 

Hahaha!

 

Yes, agree you would find difficult to copyright a name

But i still think even if you where actually called Ronald Macdonald you would struggle to open a hamburger joint under that name without Macdonalds sending you a cease and desist letter

 

He's right, they would struggle to copyright them. Unfortunately however, you can Trademark both a word and a colour. So for example, you would trademark the word "monster" in several categories like food and drink. Then if some bright spark invents a new drink and tries to associate it with the word "monster" in all likelihood it would be Trademark infringement.

The Orange phone logo, (just a block of orange) is trademarked as a colour, as is the purple that Cadbury use.

Copyright applies to "Works" i.e. art, writing, videos, etc. Trademarks apply to "marks".

 

Correct on the TM. You also have implicit design rights on any ornamental features including colours and if you want to go the extra hog you can register them.

 

Thought I was...8 years in the law tells me I should be!

 

Either way, the thread has nothing to do with © or ™ lol!

 

I know, I'm just getting you back for not selling your car to me... now I've got to loiter on a subaru forum and I don't even own one.

The logo's look great.

 

LMFAO! If I decide to sell, you'll be the first to know

 

Lol you trademark attorneys always forget design rights.

 

Would be surprised if JGM didn't snap these up! Can tell you're a decent designer!

 

Haha, cheers!

If JGM does want them, I'd have to do a proper 300dpi print ready version, can't just let any old cr@p out the door

 

Monster munch snacks have been around a lot longer than monster drinks?

Back on topic, great designs
