Maybe it s time for a change?
Our logo is not even on our homepage, even on our ranking page !
Do we call ourself "Slalom!" or ISSA?
For me the first two logos Flavio proposed are good ones!

Nice JBH. I'm glad we elected you!Jonathan Harms wrote:I made a proposal to the Board last night that we move forward with a logo contest.

Thanks JBH - definitely the way to go at this point.Jonathan Harms wrote:I made a proposal to the Board last night that we move forward with a logo contest.

Hi Silvio - thanks for your input. One of the reasons I am concerned about Greg's approval of the use of the silhouette, is that, in fact, the silhouette is MY creation, not Wouter's - look back in this thread and you will see I was the first to use it in a design. I am friends with Greg, and Dave, and therefore want to be sure things are done right, that's all. The picture I used in fact came from Greg's website - http://www.gregfadell.com/silvio endrizzi wrote:Dear Rick,
for sure Fadell’s agreement would be desirable, but just to be precise:-)
- Greg Fadell is the proprietor of the picture representing Pirnack skating (the one appearing on Pavel's old website).
- Greg Fadell is not the proprietor of the silhouette
- The silhouette is Wouter's creation (a derivative work).
- Wouter has created a new and original artistic logo in which this silhouette is only a part, and it is used as a symbol for capturing the essential insights of the sport.
- The logo is not a picture and it has a completely different purpose, providing even a new information ---> the ISSA.
- No one is expecting to make money with the new logo! Fadell and Pavel will probably not lose any potential market because of this silhouette.
What I'm trying to say is that this case looks more like a “highly transformative work” or a “fair use”:

Ok, thanks!.Toby Warg wrote:If you want, you are free to use any picture from our Gothenburg 2008 album.
Thanks JBH, I PM'd Fadell (from here) about this as soon as I posted my initial mock-up...but no response...don't have any other way to get in touch with him.Jonathan Harms wrote:Good point, Rick. I can't speak for everyone else, so...
Obviously if something like this were to become the ISSA logo, Greg would have to give his permission. At this point, however, nothing like that has been proposed or decided. Any chance this falls under "fair use"? (EBasil, Haggy or any other attorneys out there, care to weigh in on this one?)
If not, then we should all quit using it even for a mock-up.
Probably the best thing to do is just contact Fadell himself. It's too late to call him right now, but I can try calling him tomorrow and asking him directly.
Uh, yeah, I get that.Wesley Tucker wrote:Rick,Rick Floyd wrote:We WILL have a nice new logo eventually!

Just so there's no confusion, you do realize this is a process and a decision the ISSA membership will make?
