Use of FSU logo costs Ga. school district over $200,000.


It's fairly common to see high schools and youth sports programs using the same logo as college sports teams. Unfortunately, the people who decided to use those logos failed to consider that they are trademarked designs, which means the logos are off limits and can end up causing huge problems.

Most colleges won't go as far as suing a high school for monetary compensation for trademark infringement since that would be a PR nightmare for them. But they will ask schools to stop using their logo. This was a hard and expensive lesson learned by the Rockdale (Ga.) County Board of Education, for using the Florida State Seminoles spear logo. In 2011, the already cash-strapped school district was tasked with removing and replacing everything with the logo on it from the high school and middle school, including uniforms, signage, business cards, branded apparel and even having to rip out the gym floors with the infringing logo on them from both schools. All of this at a projected cost of well over $200,000.

It will probably remain unknown if the decision makers really had no idea that you can't use trademarked logos or if they just thought they would never get caught. Ultimately, the school district would have been far better off by purchasing a logo, which would have only cost a tiny fraction of the $200,000 they ended up having to spend because they used a trademarked design.

No! Bad Ravens!


In 1998 a jury ruled in favor of Baltimore, Md. security guard and amateur artist Fred Bouchat, in a lawsuit against the Baltimore Ravens for copyright infringement over the team logo.

Bouchat was asked by a team backer who saw his logo to fax a copy of the drawing to an office shared by team owner Art Modell. Months later, the Ravens released a brand-spanking new logo, which, shall we say, looked suspiciously similar.

The Ravens organization denied that anyone associated with the team ever saw the sketch by Bouchat and that the logo was a completely original design by a league artist.

Now, It's hard to decide which is worse. Is it that they stole Bouchat's design or that they tried to deny it when they are so obviously guilty?

What the Raiders logo should be.

If it were up to us this is what the Oakland Raiders logo would look like. Away with the smiley-faced character and in with a more menacing skull. The type always seemed way too bold so it is changed to a thinner font face with a bit more spacing between the letters.

Also added is a secondary logo consisting of one of the cross swords from the main logo. This could serve well as a secondary element on branded materials, apparel...

    Well, Maryland may have lost the game against Florida State this past weekend but they sure looked good doing it in the ‘Black Ops’ uniform by Under Armour.



    How "Just Do It" was conceived for Nike.

    An interesting video about how "Just Do It" was conceived. The slogan was an instant hit and became a cultural phenomenon.

    Old school football logo goodness.

    This was the Bengals first logo, used from 1967-1969. The logo represented the team but was never actually used on their uniforms.
