borrowed paintball logos

[Cow hunter]

are the logos on most paintball companies copyrigthed?
yesterday while skiing i saw one person with a cyborg logo on his goggle strap, i thought maybe he made them or somehting, but then i saw them everywhere! i asked and the person said they were called "electrcics"....... i should wonder if they didnt know antother company already had the same logo.....
earlier this morning i also noticed that in halo 2 the BR sight is an SP logo.....
probably many others i havent noticed, but are they copyrighted?(i know thw SP one is because on an SP box it said "logo is trademark of SP")

There are certain things that are very hard to Copyright. The SmartParts logo is a good example. They may have it copy righted, but it was already used in many many things, and is simply a standard gemoetric shape. Imagine a company copyrighting a square.

Technically you now owe smart parts $.15 simply for mentioning their name...

I thought they were up to $0.25 per use of their name now.

yeah all those legal fees add up...

well technically, anything could be copyrighted if it has an associtation to you or your company, but for several uses anything is usable, as an example if someone WERE to copyright a square, it could still be used for all purposes ecept that of antoher company

you really cant copywright a site reticle, and even if you could, a minute change would surpass the copywright.

but if you do it like dye used to, the old stylized reticle, then yes you can. also mac dev's lightening bolt, is so generic, that it isnt hard to use and not have to pay royalties. its like paris hilton trademarking the saying thats hot.

If you look at the electric visual logo and the MacDev logo they are slightly different,on the MacDev emblem the apprentices (sp?) like things around the lighting bolt are angled out more and arent as tall. But they are very similar,id be surprised if the guys at macdev have never seen the electric visuals emblem seeing that they are out of Australia and surfing is big there and electric is pretty big in the surf scene.

I know Dye's current logo is nearly a flip of a communications company logo.

Stuff like this happens all the time. Will MacDev care if some small snowboarding company took their logo, probably not. If someone used my logo for another industry, I'd like it actually.

but when you can make money suing them over copyrighting, it doesnt really matter because companies like to make money

Donald Trump tried to copyright "you're fired"
