I thought Lawyers and Legal people were blind to flipped images and video? Like a T-Rex if you stand still?

What are they? Gimp masks?

(They're obviously face mask packs for Onsen)

jobbos preferred brand of gimp mask.

I prefer mine without eye holes so I can be blind to flipped images.

MATTY, DON'T MOOOVE

It's vision is based on chargeable hours.

Ooh, PNG header, and what font is that?

Matty, later tonight:

So are we going to have confused Japanese Onsen enthusiasts visit here asking about face masks?

+1, that’s the last thing Matt would need after doing such a sterling effort on everything else.

I'm not saying we shouldn't modify the logo a bit, but you're crediting Dennis/Evo with more gumption that they've shown to date if you think it's likely they could even get their act together sufficiently to instruct someone to draw up a cease and desist letter...

Dennis is well-resourced, and despite the numerous lawyers on here we really aren't.

I'm not saying they don't have the resource, just the inclination to bother. Particularly as what's the loss? This place doesn't have a negatively correlative effect on their revenues so any legal action would be commercially pointless in all likelihood. Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't avoid whatever minimal risk there is - I'm a risk averse lawyer too at the end of the day, I was just making a comment on the probability.

ETA: and actually if we were going down the route of differentiating a bit further we really should have had the foresight to go with OV3 instead. Matty do you fancy staying up all night to change it again

Shockers’ social media sniping will be giving them all the reason they need.

He’s the Noel Edmonds to Dennis’ LBG.

Surely the whole point is that we are utterly meaningless to them. Ergo they don’t give a toss.

Normal ramblings to continue

Goddamn right

Easy enough to change the logo...but credit to Seb who sent me the cleaner one so if he (or anyone else) fancies creating something fresh.

I've had a few "cease and desists" in my time on the Lupo forum so I've already been there and done that

Great job Matty.

I think we should go with something more diagrammatic - was thinking schematics of a wankel rotary for the O, a morgan three wheeler v-twin for the vee and perhaps a turbo for the 9.

ETA: I've knocked something up - will post shortly.

Well that confused my phone, but - back again now.
