Tyler Rodgers and SportsLogos.net -- images
I'm currently designing uniforms for a series of teams that use the logos and wordmarks of designer Tyler Rodgers on Sportslogos.net. I'd love to be able to post these when they're done but it doesn't seem like I should without permissions from the logo/wordmark designer.
Does anyone know Mr. Rodgers or have any idea on his views about people using his work (fully credited to him, of course)? I have seen some comments on the Sportslogos.net forums from people who were very angry about their work being used without their permission (with or without credit) for fantasy league teams and such. I have no desire to post uniforms/teams incorporating someone's work if they would be unhappy about it. |

I think SportsLogos has a private messaging feature or he may have an email in his profile. I'd suggest you either PM him or send him an email with your request and then hope he replies.

I have PM'd him on Sportslogos.net. We'll see what he says, if he responds at all.

Those guys are funny about seeing their work over here. Asking was definitely the right way to go.

Nah, not really. There are some extremely talented individuals who do professional quality work. It's understandable that they would like to retain recognition for their efforts. The amount of sharing that happens in this community is commendable, but the credit can easily get lost. People can be sensitive to plagiarism. As you said, asking first is absolutely the right thing to do.

However, there's also a bit of realism to consider. If I set a wad of $20 bills out in public and someone takes it, I can be angry about having been stolen from. But I shouldn't be surprised. Anyone who posts their digital work online and thinks they still have complete control over it is naive. |

Asking permission and not assuming yes is a good way to start.

I agree that it's morally unacceptable to steal someone's work. But it shouldn't come as a surprise when it's done. We all know what the internet is like.
Well, it's been two days now and, although Sportslogos shows him having been on the site, he has yet to even read my message. Ah well... |

The thing I find disingenuous about it is sports logos are copyright and trademark protected so really, even what they're doing isn't "legal." I think permission is fine and surely if someone does work, they ought to get credit, but when no money changes hands and ESPECIALLY in an opportunity to bring the work to life, seems...strange that people would oppose it.
But then, I'm not surprised.

I ran into this when I asked somebody if they could do the WBC-style uniforms for non-existent WBC teams (outside of the WBCQ). I think it was Pwal that told me that SportsLogos posters monitor this board and have ragefits if their work is posted here.
Its kinda why we rarely see their work posted here. |

No where that I know of now. It looks like most of his posts on Sportslogos.net were wiped out by the great Photobucket massacre of 2017.

PB didn't delete anything. They simply disabled the "hot-linking" ability. You can view his Photobucket here. Last edited by ArcAngel; 09-01-2017 at 05:56 PM. |
