Pegasos-Italia : Comment 171 of 181 | ANN.lu |

This assuming that the logo is there to offend or criticize
Amiga Inc. First of all, the boing ball is a common logo
used for years and Amiga doesn't have the exclusive right to
use it in computer indutry (otherwise they should put a tm
near it).
We can simply image that the logo means: AmigaOS morphed in
something new, different, that's exactly what the text
under logo shows.
Also the site clearly states what is mOS and what is Amiga,
so they aren't trying to let people believe they something
different.
You see, I really think that cooperation would be the best
way to work for Amiga (OS4 on Peg would be great), but I
also believe in a free market and freedom of speech. The
broken ball is just a broken ball with some butterflies
around. It means: evolution, morph. Not 'you suck, we are
the best' or 'amiga is dead we are amiga'. It just means
'amigaos morphed into something new'.
>Is all these reasons which lead me to warn Miky (some days
>ago) that he nust change the logo to avoid any trouble from
>Authorities...
And its for the exact same reasons that I suggest them to
leave the logo where it is. They just must be sure to make
clean it's not offensive and that their product is not 'the
new amiga'.
A similar story happened some years ago when a known italian
journalist led many people to believe EAR was died and its
successor was his own cd magazine, while the name and the
subscribers base was buyed by someone else who printed a new
magazine, the real successor. Nothing happened to him, so I
wonder how a logo in a site really clean about who they are
and what they are doing can get troubles to Michele.
Anyway, Michele, if you wish I can suggest you a good lawyer
to ask to. Or you can simply ignore these things and live
happy with your good site. |
