HostSuite Logo

[Florx]

Hey,

While I was working for HostSuite.com (Darren Toogood's failing project), I asked Richard Knox to make me a logo for it which he did. The terms of the use of the logo were I own it and it could be used while I was working for the project.

Unfortunatly Darren seems adamant that because the image has the word HostSuite on it then he owns it.

This is not the case. I have spoken to Richard and he does not condole the actions of Darren as the logo was made for ME not HostSuite.

If you see the HostSuite logo I suggest that recognise that it is being used without the owners permission.

EDIT: I posted this thread to ask what the community thinks but I forgot to ask. Duh.

What do you think?

/EDIT.

Thanks for reading.

Rofl hes a 14 year old wannabe bill gates. He's going to attempt to steal the internetz and claim he made it next

Another thread showing up Darren Toogood

If he was such a good designer, why not make his own logo ?

And I agree with the point you are making, if it's made for you, then its yours. You can't really do anything about it though.

Apart from telling him to **** off and make his own work for once.

Hope this helps, if it was supposed to =)

So it was made for YOU and not for darren, and YOU hold the rights to it?

He's using it illegally then.

EDIT: Thanks for telling us btw now we are sure that hes a lazy designer not willing to create a logo for his own project.

[Florx]

Yep I do own it and it was made for me.

He is supposed to be a 'Freelance Graphics Designer'

Yet he chooses to illegally use a logo not made for him.

Lol @ him.

If he uses it on one of his "sites" just contact his host with richard

*Text Removed* Last time he said he can find designers for people. And that's a moneymaker, he can't do anything? of that in know, layouts? no, coding? no, graphics? no.....

it does seem like it should belong to you.

however, due to the fact that you were working for host suite and youa sked him to make the logo for you, for host suite, then i believe it stays with host suite. It has the companies name on and this would play a major role.

think about it like this: the person who designed the apple logo decided to leave apple, apple would retain the right for the logo and would have full ownership of it. bit of a rubbish example but works

Thanks JimboJosh for posting. Let me clarify the terms of the use of the logo:

The use of the logo is only allowed when I am working for the project. When I terminate working for HostSuite I clearly stated that none of the code or images I made or were owned be me could be used.

Thanks,
Jake
