Everton Crest Reminder

[GrandOldTeam]

We're required to issue a polite reminder to ask all to kindly refrain from using the Everton crest on GrandOldTeam.

The Everton badge is not allowed to be displayed anywhere on the forum;

Our client has highlighted Player/Match Action Images, Club Crests and Fixtures among the posts and as member avatar's in your forum http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum

I understand that due to the huge number of posts the tracking and removing of infringing images would prove difficult and very time consuming to perform.

A suggestion I have made with other football forums, is that when you do come across new images please take steps to remove them, but I would be grateful if you could post a message to members warning them of the issues in question.

Prior establishing the website, we did seek (and was granted) permission to display the Clubs crest but we'd still be routinely threatend by the Clubs legal teams. On one occasion, our host was contacted and the website forcefully removed - incurring a fee. Our Facebook page was also blocked for this very reason - it took us a year for the account ban to be lifted.

The decision was made that it's considerably easier to comply with the advice cited above - "post a message to members warning them of the issues in question".

With that, please do not publish the previous, current or the three proposed prospective designs on GrandOldTeam.

Thanks

Everton, killing the good vibes since 1996...

This has got to be the most stupid rule of all time. Someone talk to Alan Myers about this!

 

[Azzurri]

Got ya.



So there's three prospective designs then? Can someone point me in their direction without posting images of them on here?

Pathetic

I'm guessing they're complaining about people using the crest that they decided to just abandon and replace with the beehive monstrosity. Surely they've got better things to do.

Danny while your here where is the predictor league? I can't find it!

Can't wait to discuss the three new possible EFC crests tomorrow!

Without posting pictures of them of course.

This idea of 'protecting image rights' - in this manner - is so absurd and counter-productive.

This is ridiculous.

I m going to vote for the middle one.

 

[Azzurri]

I m going to vote for the middle one.

C, always C.

 

[Hayee]

Can we use the old crest now?


*pre "Everton" and "1878" the one we used through NEC, Danka and early One2One?

I m going to vote for the middle one.

Me too...

You know in the same way that news agencies can't publish photographs of the accused in the dock, but can publish artists impressions of them, maybe we can post artist impressions of the crests.
