Just wondering if the BMW Logo Police will force the MOA to refrain from using custom avitars that Members have designed that incorporate the dreaded Roundel?
Just askin!

I chose my avatar from one provided by MOA ... so it's their fault!

This would make an interesting What Would You Do show.
I can understand BMW protecting their goodies, but if the logo is not used to make money, then I don't see why BMW would object to free advertising. Then again, there are many things I don't understand.
Here's my chance to plug U of Ky's national championship in BB last night-it is a published fact that they make mucho $$$$ from the rights to use the universities trademarks.Another big win ='s big cash. Me thinks that the BMW folks are more than just a bit prudish/stupid or unique combo of both. This is a huge business in the USA. If they don't want to do it, it's their logo, I suppose.Probably!
It is their intellectual property. While I personally think licensing (like Harley Davidson) would be a better approach to promoting the marque, that then requires that they vigorously check to see if any individual use is licensed. BMW has selected a different way to protect their property - use it their way or don't use it. Period.
I think it is the wrong approach, but then I don't know anything about German or European Union law as it relates to the protection of intellectual property rights. In this case their lawyers might know a bit more than I/we do.

So,e.g., like a wet T-shirt contest would make for a demeaning use of the roundel and something to guard against? I suppose it's better to let Hollywood depict the cash cows of the world parading around in bimmers in the flicks & showing what a "class act" the roundel represents?
