The fonts at FontMesa
that are patterned after famous company logos although
very accurate in detail have not been approved as official art work by the
companies
which logos they've been designed after. They were created for entertainment
purposes
and if you plan on using the famous logos from these fonts for any legitimate
or commercial purpose then it is recommended that you contact those companies
and request guideline information for use or display of their logo and or
information
on licensing the use of their logo.
Most companies will allow the use of their logo for non commercial use such
as
a Coca Cola can collector web site that displays a personal collection of
Coke cans
or an individual displaying Miller Lite on his pickup truck because he loves
the
product but some companies are very strict when it comes to using their
logo
for any purpose and it's always best to check with them before using their
logo.
Designing a typefont
based on a few letters isn't trademark infringement as long as the
original logo is not displayed and the font isn't named after the company.
Major corporations
are always looking for trademark infringement especially amongst the printed
t-shirt and hat
makers so it's wise to be respectful of their rights and always ask before
using a
companies logo.
If you are a designer
and are making a famous logo font It's wise to follow these
guidelines, never name the font as the same name of the company logo it
was
designed after, do not display the famous company logo on your web site
and
it's best not to create a hot link on your site to the famous companies
web site as
most companies prohibit this or get permission to display a hot link to
their web site.
