Hey guys, working on logo's to etch on my blades. will i be able to etch these without issue? i've never etched
anything so im a little lost here. is there anything i would need to change before having stencils made up? i'd appreciate
any advice. thanks guys.

Depending on how big your going it would have to be the ones that are the solid black lines.
Also, I don't know if you care but I wouldn't want to go with logo that is so similar to somethign a major manufacturer is using
 
I agree, solid over hollow

and

All I see are Benchmade butterfly's, I won't associate that with you at all.
 
Ok, so the top three are out :) its not the bm logo, mine are two b's one forwad and one backward bor BaliBalistic. those top three are entirly made up of b's. but i dont want any mx up so they are out. i will use the other logo which is also two b's.
 
I guess I don't see any "b"s in there. They all look like either BM butterflies or something very similar to them/
 
Even though I know I'm supposed to look for the B's, I still don't see them.

I need it to be MUCH more obvious.
Something I can type into Goggle -


If I buy one of yours in the after market & want 10 more, you're just sending me to buy benchmades.

& you need to be really distinct so you won't get sued by Benchmade.
 
I completely agree with Count - If I use my imagination, I can see some B's, but it doesn't hit me, and I would just think they are Benchmade knives. And yes, be careful Benchmade doesn't sue you...
 
i get you. i removed the one more similar to benchmade. also i had planned to put "balibalistic"
above and "knives" below. thanks for the feedback so far guys.
 
I think that ANY butterfly by a knife company will get you sued by Benchmade.

Especially when it is still stylized in the same way.


I do get that you want to make the balisong / butterfly knife connection, but
you would have to sell thousands of knives to pay the Lawyers & still lose in the end.


What else can you do?
 
Edit: i'll can this idea and head back to the drawing board. thanks for all your input guys.

Mr., from what I've seen of your work it is truly good stuff. My suggestion is get rid of the mass production label types and go with your own name. You will not need some "flash" to help your work get noticed just more visibility through one meathod or another and time to help build on a personal name as it would for any. Frank
