Tomatoville logo copyrighted?
Just randomly saw this when researching local produce distributors. It is almost exactly the same as the Tomatoville logo. They just added a backround and framed it. What an odd coincidence.

And the logo without a background and border is on the sides of their truck.

Maybe it's just different folks have used some freely available clip art?
I would say don't get too excited just yet Tomatovillians. KarenO |

Wonder how many trucks and trailers there are and if the logo has been printed on boxes, etc., - thinking of the cost to remove/replace all that. The blog is way out of date, oddly. http://francisproduce.com/blog/ Last edited by imp; June 14, 2017 at 05:10 AM. |

Their site has copyright © 2017 Francis Produce in the lower right corner. Hmm.

Like Karen mentioned, it could be a free image. Copyright is once a logo/name is added.

Copyright protection is regional, unless Federally registered. Protection comes from use of the mark. The standard is consumer confusion. One would have to make the claim that the produce company was making people think they were affiliated with tomatoville, or vice-versa.

Even with no legal recourse I'd still inform them it's not their art, concept, or property and they're using it for gain without permission.
