Heres a little story... a fair few years ago Guiness decided to use the harp for their logo, unfortunately another irish company was already using it (hence the logos would have been identical). The company told Guiness that they had to change the logo otherwise they would sue Guiness - if you've ever seen the Guiness logo though, you'll know that the design is still a harp; how did they get round it? Guiness simply flip reflected the harp image hence creating a unique logo yet still with exactly the same image...
Theres obviously been saying yes its ok and no it isn't and tbh i'd prefer to be safe than sorry (although as mentioned i still don't see who tshirt and poster makers get round the issue, and even print film promotional posters).
Can anyone recommend a website where i could get access to film and music (group/artist) photos? From everything from Elvis and the Beetles to modern day artists and rappers?
