How do I buy a vpc sticker?
Good question.... We've been waiting for the new ones since summer ;)
Well we changed the logo..........just making sure we are sticking to it :-p Hopefully not much longer anyway.
do we have someone to do them? my mate does mine
Been waiting a while as well!
Lol I want one of the estate with the blue line looks nice
it will be nice when there done and on the car
Any news on the stickers?
I'll check with Chad and let you know asap
Will they be an internal or external sticker? Tony.
Internal stickers. Will post up the info when I have it. cheers guys
So no good for Blacked out windows then?
I just did my own :)
I know Wobbly had "Fast as vpcuk" put on his numberplate. Looked pretty cool.

It looks very nice tucked away there Colin :smile:
I'm going to keep hounding as it looks like we're all gagging for them, any news on the stickers????????? We need them well in time for the big meets surely? (Red estate with spoiler gets my vote) :D
Any news? :p whsts the chances of some external stickers for us with tinted windows? Cheers
i want 2 as well
Kerryd5 makes what ever you want, and the quality is perfect and really cheap
what's the new ones look like I'll get some made up?
We are getting stickers. The design is copywrited therefore you cannot copy it to make your own. Please be patient guys :)
[QUOTE=Pinup_gal;578422]We are getting stickers. The design is copywrited therefore you cannot copy it to make your own. Please be patient guys :)[/QUOTE] Personally, I think that attitude stinks, members are promoting the site. I've made stickers for people who are fed up of waiting for stickers. I'll be taking my sticker off my car today.
How does it stink. Alot of effort went into the design work for the new logo?
[QUOTE=claymore;578423]Personally, I think that attitude stinks, members are promoting the site. I've made stickers for people who are fed up of waiting for stickers. I'll be taking my sticker off my car today.[/QUOTE] lol, I have had stickers made up too, for both of my R's promoting the site and I just got my new number plates with the website address on them as my footer, these new ones would be no use to me because my windows are tinted, also I bet they wont be as nice as mine :P
Think everyone needs to calm down. Yes we wont allow copying of design work for people to profit from. Thats either yourselves directly or the suppliers you choose. Stickers will come. As for site promotion, obviously we want members to be proud of the site but the bottom line is promotion enriches the community it doesn't line the pockets of the myself or the team running the site. (Which dedicate lots of time and funds to keep the site going).
I don't think anything would REALLY come of it if I was to ask somebody to knock up a VPC sticker....would it?
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;578437]I don't think anything would REALLY come of it if I was to ask somebody to knock up a VPC sticker....would it?[/QUOTE] Well we wouldn't necessarily know who created the sticker. I would be suprised/disgusted if any reputable outfit would print something you didnt own though.
I think members are just a little frustrated that they want to buy VPC stickers to promote 'our' forum and that it's taking toooooo long to get them made....they better be the best thing since Vimto !!! That's all I'm sayin!!
Just to add more to this. There is a fine line between us being unfair to members and effectively allowing theft. We had obviously turned a blind eye to Colin's sticker, after all it say VPCUK and doesn't match our artwork. We have in the past allowed individuals seeking permissionto use site artwork on one off non profit basis. Best thing to do if your comtemplating creating VPCUK merchandise for personal use us to contact us first. If its for personal non profit use we havent said no yet.

Interesting discussion on the copyright thing.. I agree the logo format is copyrighted, but isn't the font Stolen from Volvo brand? I can't of find any disclaimer on any Volvo brand to confirm if this is open source or specifically owned by Volvocars? Any reproduction of the letters wgarwovkcup... In an order that said www.vpcuk.org would therefore be purely coincidental and the copyright would actually be to Volvo??
http://comportal.penta.volvo.se/upload/Penta_id/PDF%20Guidelines%20Identity%20Rules/Pdf/Volvofonts_Usage_LanguagesAll_120820.pdf
VPCUK.org wording is surely a trade name or trademark rather than copyrighted wording? I don't think reproduction is covered in trademark legislation, (actual wording for items that can not be trademarked is - "trade marks that are devoid of any distinctive character") it is more to protect against someone sets up to mimic business dealings under the same name?
Anyway a savy person could recreate the logo an put a minor twist to differentiate it would then become its own original artwork and therefore it's own copyright.... Whether the printer could be sued for the reproduction is one of those arguments that could then sit in letigation for years where basically the person with the largest chequebook would win!!

Yep for new cars, for pedestrian safety, the only advisory I had was to ensure no metal was prudruing dangerously. I have covers for end caps and the crossmember just behind the grille is factory standard and not protruding at all. The cut out is a safety feature.. I have an extra 4" before I hit some one!!

Hopefully I'll cover everything but apologies if I don't. (Doing this quickly).
As I've said before VPCUK is just an acronym and weirdly one we share with Vehicle Purchasing Consultants UK. Yes resource (i.e. chequebook but also could be gold, knowledge, status or a well established legal team that can be called on etc) is important in court proceedings but so is drive (motive, intention, risk, resolve etc etc). Regarding minor changes, sometimes its enough sometimes its not. http://foglerrubinoff.com/IP-Current-Newsletters/A-Big-Red-Bus-Copyright.html shows a case (which personally I didn't agree with) where a case was brought and won because an image used was sort of similar to one previously commissioned. (It had a red bus and Big Ben in, that was about the only similarities).
As for Drive, our intention is not to upset normal members or fans of the site by thinking the art work on this site is off limits by them. I've explained before that for personal use just contact us and ask, we haven't said no yet. Our motive is to ensure someone else isn't actively profiting from through the distribution of someone elses work or worse using the art work for underhand means towards the site and/or its members. It's not that we are looking to profit from it either. (On profitability, long term projection on sticker sales will make an absolute maximum of £800, anyone prepared to sell VPCUK stickers to make more than that would be ripping people off and they probably wouldn't sell anyway). Risk, obviously we are willing to absorb a level of risk and have proved this in the past, obviously for us stickers are less about making money (as there really isn't any money in stickers) and more about promotion, to be fair the site isn't ready for active promotion. So in truth we would risk more by not perusing our motivation but anyone wanting to profit would potentially be taking on more than £800 worth of risk. (And thats absolute maximum remember) . Resolve, I haven't given up yet and have no plans to.
Which brings us onto resourcing. To some £800 is a lot of money and they may be tempted to try and make knock off stickers. To others £800 is nothing and it wouldn't be worth their while. So then it's just worrying about any situation between those two extremes.
As for your sticker it wouldn't come under any of the above, it's more disgracing the good name of the site by plastering the name all over a rusty wing :P. (You can keep it there if you wish lol).

We hadn't even produced the new logo until late last August and we weren't sure if we would keep it. (Now grown on us though). In the background we have been busy with other things, whether it be related or not related to this site. For example tool creation to intelligently detect trespassers.

Putting this more plain I knew about your VPCUK sticker. Did I do anything about it? I didn't because it didn't match the sites art work and as I've stated before anything else is nothing to do with me unless it was slanderous etc. As for comparison, is it that far off? Car, Art work, they both cost money to someone.
I'm amazed you got permission to use the Volvo logo on the stickers, although on saying that we did get permission for use of logo/font on our trackday T-shirts, and i believe VOC/volvoforums have permission to use logo on their site and merchandise Seems bizarre that you are/were claiming to own the copyright to the stickers, and would be making a profit (regardless of size) using someone elses copyrighted material

(But rather change the art work instead).
so no news of the new sticker really then and I'd just got all excited, that I'd have the new logo for the summer season....lol
