[thelist] Logo Design (infringement) help requested

[edc]

This will not be of any help in the immediate situation but may reduce the
stress level in future:

Always, without exception, even with friends, do a "Letter of Engagement",

not always binding But it should set out what both sides of the arrangement
are supposed to do including things like on the client side that they
warrant that they have obtained the necessary copyright and publication
clearances.... and so on and so on.....

if you wish to follow this concept up I suggest you search some accountancy
body sites, whoops, yes I know I just said that, but they have a clear
policy on letters of engagement that could be useful but I guess that you
would have avoid like the proverbial any US sites......

: Well, that sentence to me sums it all up in a nutshell - I totally agree.
I

say
: that if someone off the street, out o the blue, who I had no previous
: business relationship with, came to me with a request to host this I would
: not have given it a second thought (not to do so). But because I "know"
the
: client & his designer and he has an existing relationship, I caved.

: Another lesson learned.
