Oh come on - im not going to ban people for copying the Vic logo.
That's just absurd. To be honest, it doesn't really matter what the background is at all.
I didn't start anything remember, it was taken from us without anyone even having common courtesy to approach us.
Each club puts in many long hours per year to get thier branding, logo, promotional material out there in the community. Clubs also work closely together on some merchandise items to reduce costs.
To simply have it copied, i think anyone could appreciate, is a bit of a downer on some serious hard work over the years by people.
I think any Club Exec would react in much the same way if they were in this situation. Thankfully they aren't i guess.
As none of the other states are uniform & distinctly different... Not really sure how one would come to such a conclusion when earlier in this thread other clubs logo/branding was posted up
Either way whats done is done. Can't change what has happened.
Perhaps for your next run you might think about creating your own logos or something. Have a bit of individuality about it. Might seem like a non-issue to you guys, but we've spent 6 years working on our branding, be nice to at least be approached with your intent beforehand - rather than having to see this after the fact.
