TTD Logo

I was just wondering if anybody Had a picture of the TTD logo in a large form...just the logo on a plain white background...the ones I saved from the websites are too small for the project I'm doing....I'm making t-shirts for my trip to the point for everyone who is going that is riding dragster...check it out

i don't know if these are the final shirts but the logo on the front of the t says it wont come out good cause the picture is too small .......thanks

Man, those are sweet, but I really doubt that you are allowed to use the CP TTD logo on a shirt. You might want to look into that a little further.

I'm sure it will be ok as long as I'm not SELLING the shirts.....your usually allowed to use whatever you want as long as it's not for personal benefit.....like If I made shirts that said "top thrill dragster" and on the back they said " i just rode the tallest, fastest coaster in the world" and sold them at the exit line...THEN bam! jail time...but I'm sure just for me and my friends would be ok? anybody else have a thought? Jeff maybe?

Heres a thought, do it anywase.

Just can't live in that negative way... Make way for the positive Day

I plan on it, but I still need the logo ;)

Maybe you could just find a big logo and edit out the background in a paint program?

The logo is a trademark that you don't own. It doesn't matter if you intend to sell it or not. You're making merchandise with intellectual property that isn't yours.

Yah, you'll never get laid haha

Jeff, Shut up. You can put whatever you want on a shirt, it doesnt matter if its copyright or not, as long as hes not selling or making a profit it doesnt matter. I hope they come out good for you th3digitalmond.

What you lack in intelligence, you make up for in stupidity.

WOW nice t-shirts! Im planning on making some of Millennium Force! There is special printing paper that allows you to iron on stuff to shirts; its neat!

"Welcome to Millennium Force"

Force Rides=23

Steelrider is a disrespectful douche. I do know a great deal about copyright and it is not illegal to put something on a shirt as long as there is no profit involved. I mean come on, if there were an issue with it don't you think CP would come down on the employees every year for making crew shirts. I don't have a good logo digitalmind, but if you find one I don't think there should be any issues with it.

I personally think CP wont give a rats ass about a die hard wearing a shirt they made with CP's pics. Those are great shirts digitalmind. Like everybody else said, aslong as hes not going to open up a site and start selling them, i think its perfectly fine.

You see homemade shirts with ride logos all over the place now. Every enthusast makes his own for trips now.

Copyright law is vauge about such things (http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html). This isn't a clear case for fair use, but it isn't a clear case agianst it either.

Of the four points listed:

1) "nonprofit educational purposes" Your shirts are nonprofit. They can be educational if you want to press it. Call it a physics lesson :).

2) Cant help you there, dont know enough. The fact that the logo was ment for t-shirts might hurt.

3) You are using the logo as part of your shirt. You are not just making a knock off of their shirts.

4) Since you are making the shirts for a small group, not selling them, not making a lot. This point helps a lot.

So, go ahead. People have been doing the same thing for a while, and fair use may be on your side.

If you did open up a site, I might be a prospect as a buyer, just kidding, those shirts rock! Go for it, if you do get yelled at, play dumb or somethign, you'll just have to turn them inside out. They wont get mad. They dont want to make the customer angry, cause then they'll tell people and Cedar Point gets a bad rap. Its like how they say they will but never actully do kick you out for line cutitng. GO FOR IT!

You kids are exactly the reason that movie studios and record labels are trying to get legislation passed to protect their intellectual property by limiting the technology we can use.

Copyright and trademark are not the same thing. If you don't know the difference, try reading up on the subject. When you're done, call Cedar Point's marketing office and ask them if they're OK with you using their trademarks.

Profit has zero to do with it. Think about it. Nobody made a dime by trading music on Napster, yet the courts very plainly indicated that such trading was copyright infringement.

Trademarks identify a brand, and may not be used by other entities. Failure to enforce your trademark rights is grounds for losing it all together, so again, ask if they'd be OK with it. I already know what the answer is.

Leave the law to people who have expertise in the intellectual property field.

I know for a fact that the Snake crew last year had to jump though hoops and play dead for the company before they were able to put the Snake River Falls logo on their shirts.

Want to talk trademark law? Fine.

Here is the trademark law. That link takes you directly to the passage we need. Trademark law works even better for digitalmind.

"use in commerce any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of a registered mark in connection with the sale"

"to be used in commerce upon or in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods or services"

As you can see, conditions of a violation are when the "copied" works are involved in commerce. Trademark law makes it even MORE LEGAL to print shirts with the dragster logo for his trip.

I don't know if this helps or not, but I am a student at West Virginia University, and I know that none of the print shops in the area will make any shirts with the WVU logo, 'the flying wv' without written consent from the University. They do this even if the shirts are obviously not for profit because an organization I was in couldn't have the logo on our group's t'shirts and they were not for profit. I don't know if the same goes for the TTD logo or not.

So what exactly is wrong with waiting until you get to the park to buy a t-shirt? If you can’t wait until then, why not buy one online?
