I've started to sell a few of my spare axes locally and to some friends. My friend made this logo for me based on some old ones he found on yesteryear tool. I think it's really cool. (It's my dog Maggie).

A friend of mine made this logo for me based on some old ones on the yesteryear tools site. It's my dog Maggie. It's not finished yet but I like the prototype.

I wonder what it would cost to turn it into a real, glossy sticker/decal? Great way to personalize your own tools.
 
Nicely done!

Clean, easy to read, scaleable and able to be printed in three color if needed to keep cost down.

I've had some bumper stickers made by an online seller (from my uploaded file). A range of sizes are available, with black & white 2.75" squares selling at $17 for 125. They are vinyl, though, a terrible material if it ever gets burned.
 
Hmm, I wonder if you can print at home onto wall paper?

I think it can be done reasonably just like Steve said, but onto paper.

Can you put your name on a product like Collins that is still under copyright and sell it as your own, legally?

I'd say it would be ok if he did it as restoration work, would need something on the sticker saying cooper hill axe restoration.

But if say that as long as it says something about restorations, it would be ok, but dot quote me on that
 
I'm sure it's not a simple question. He's not grinding off a Collins stamp and representing the axe as being of his own manufacture. He's just adding a sticker to indicate that he's worked on it. I don't think there's any problem there.

If It said restoration work then yes he could. But if he keeps it what it is now and sells it then he's technically putting his name on it and selling as his own. But then again what do I know…
 
I simply wouldn't worry about it!
I'd just go on about my business!!!

Folks worry about too many things these days...

But...
That's another story :(

I go about my business as I please... If someone else doesn't care for it...
Well, I really don't care myself.

I still believe in this 'strange-weird-thing called freedom, personal sovereignty, and personal responsibility...
'Their' laws are theirs... Not mine!!?

And frankly... I'm tired of it ;)
 
He's a retailer, he can put his label on his products as he sees fit. I just bought some hair products with a huge label from the store right over the label.

I'm not an attorney, bla bla bla.
 
I have no issue with what Coop is doing, I like and respect Coop, while he doesn't feel the same towards me is irrelevant - I understand what he is doing and there is really nothing but benefit in the world of axes coming from it -

This is what I do find though, as I have posted in a couple of my manufacturing threads before -

"In the day" there was massive competition from all sides on the axe front - this included name missrecognition - which at the time(1860s-1940s) was rampant.

TECHNICALLY, all things considered, he is putting his name on another axe. He didn't forge it, plan/design it, make the handle, etc. "Back in the day" this would be seen as a major infarction - See Legitimus, True American, Knot Klipper, Homestead, etc and etc.

So what does this mean?

Nothing. All what you make of it. I asked about the infringement because I looked into a similar venture about a year ago with imprinting axes - and once discussion stated there was a lot of potential litigation - which I wanted nothing to do with.

It should say restoration as others have said - that is the right thing to do.

One guys way. Its probably wrong.

Thanks.

Back to the original intent of this thread, I think the label design is well thought out, attractive, and memorable. Even as a business logo, it looks great.
