Glad someone spotted the analogy :)

Just because someone has the same nickname does not mean this is the same person!

Also - someone on iii found a 16 year old in the US with the same nickname. I would put money on either of these NOT being the same brettypoos as the one on iii.

Also - I'm not sure that this "outing" thing is a good idea

Its way to similar! don't want to be done for Passing Off now. Not trying to be too critical - because I love what you are doing Alex - but we should reconsider this logo.
There is so much prior art for drawing a Spy a long time before GameSpy came around. It is a standard "noir" character drawing. There are not many ways you can draw a spy.

Tell you what, I have a really good idea to make money quick, maybe Bettypoos can come in on the deal. My plan is, walk into a bank with a shotgun and ask them for all the money in their registers. Should work great. What do you mean it's illegal, it's such a good idea?!?!?!

as long as you dont ask for any personal information and forget any names / addresses / faces / or actions any one is doing, while you are there, and issue those you do see with an encrypted non id number. I can,t see it would be a problem ;)

It more than that tho - the two colours (albeit yours are red and black) and the circle. Makes them so similar

There is nothing wrong with being similar and trademark law is only applicable when the defendant's "mark" can be mistaken for the plaintiffs and have a negative effect on their business. Since the privacy site is nothing to do with computer games, doesn't sell computer games and doesn't relate to the gaming industry in anyway, there can be no accusation of "damage".

I am not even remotely worried that there might be a chance of a trademark dispute, I am confident the logo is fine from a legal standpoint. My spy is also hand drawn by me so it is not a derivative works. Plus their Spy is clearly wearing shades, mine has evil red eyes.

I also wonder whether a privacy site should have a sinister logo? It's opposite to the message one wants to put across, perhaps.

I dont like it it looks like a logo for some ransomeware popups you see on the internet.


Whats up with The register not doing a phorm story ? about the new fipr letter.


Where are 80/20 and the Video.

Privacy in a corporate world is a sinister affair. I wanted to emphasise spying with a man in the middle metaphor. I think the logo gets the point across well, and being 2 colours it is good for printing. I do appreciate all the input though.

I tend to agree with Julian.

Too complicated I know, but something like a person sat at a screen with another person behind him blindfolded would convey the message better.

I'm not being funny but do you think all this graphics stuff should be in a different thread?

Lets concentrate on the real issues of RIPA, DPA & Fraud and getting rid of Phorm

I am 99% serton that, that logo is from a police poster back in the 70s & 80s, it will be covered by the crown copyright.

Glad you appreciate the comments - I don't want to put you off!

I feel that the logo should be cleaner, and more professional looking. This one looks like a 6th form school project (you know - create a fake company etc).

Perhaps something much simpler? No grading colours etc (I used to work in the printing industry, and gradated colours can look pants on paper of not done right). Whilst I know you are doing a website (hence the Online) - will it ever require printing?

There is a flat colour version for printing.
