Location: Up North | You could replace it with this much cooler looking sign (would fit in frame).
I could send the .eps file to Al and he can get them produced for anyone who wants one (maybe Cliff knows someone who can make them up). Right style of bridge and traditional Ovation headstock.
If I'm stepping on anyone's toes as far as copyright infringement, pull this posting and I'll delete the file. |

Location: Lebanon, TN | For Mike and others...We'll let's see what the end of the week brings. Reply from Mark James Design below:
We're OK. That's exactly what happened. A law firm for Krispy Kreme doughnuts of all things reported me for trademark violation. I'm on suspension for a week or so, but I have your sign going out by the end of the week. I understand your concern, but rest assured it's all good. Gonna have a lot of fires to put out now.

Location: Boise, Idaho | OK, Cliff. I can't speak for Bob, but I know that I pay extra for a doughnut to have the Krispy Kreme label on it. To me it doesn't mean that it's better, but Krispy Kreme thinks it's important to maintain that image in order to maintain it's market. Substitute Porsche or Taylor or any other well known brand name and you get the same thing. You pay for the name. |

For about 200 bucks, you can buy a CD of thousands of corporate logos in .eps format (we buy one every year or so t'keep our library at work "up to date"). Okay, a major designer secret here, but brandsoftheworld.com has thousands of corporate logos in vector .eps format, including Ovation, free. Also sports teams, and all sorts of logos.
Comes in handy for me all the time. There's a search bar at the bottom. |

Location: GA USA | Yes. They plainly state that they are not clip art. I think they are submitted either by the license holder or with their consent.
But check this out:
Last week I had a customer who sells window blinds call me up needing an ad. And they wanted the Visa, Mastercard, and Discover logos and a window blind manufacturer logo (they are a priority dealer).
I looked them up, chose the credit card logos from the dozens of styles there, and had all four logos in 10 minutes. In less than an hour I was emailing the ad to the publication.
That makes an impression.
But you're right Brad. Any sign maker could go there and steal an Ovation logo and make a sign (or Fender, or Gibson...) |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The Ovation logo looks oddly familiar to the one on several banners I had custom made. No Adamas, however. |
