fEARful logo / greenboy

I recently had a fEARful 15/6 built for me, yet I don't like the logo size/material/design that was sent along with the cab. I'd like to have my own made, yet a lot of business won't reproduce a copyrighted image without permission. Any ideas if greenboy will give permission? Or suggestions on what other people have done in this situation?

When I ordered my 15/6/1, I specified no logo. I just don't like logos on my cabs. The builder had no problem with this. In fact, I can't think of a single reason why any manufacturer or designer would prevent you from covering or removing the logo. It is, after all, your cab. I don't think you are violating any copyright laws by doing this.

I don't see any reason why you can't have a logo made as long as you aren't selling merchandise with the logo.

Your best course of action is to ask Greenie in his forum: http://greenboy.us/forum/index.php

Just go ask him.

I doubt he would want you taking his "greenboy" figure and messing with it, but if you just wanted a different badge that says "fEARful" that should be fine.

Speaker Hardware sells a really cool Greenboy-designed logo plate.
