Question about use of team logo. I went to a screen printer to order jerseys and parent t-shirts. I told him what I wanted for the logo. He started scrolling through sports logos on google. I saw one that I liked the design so I asked him to stop and back to this particular logo. I sat there and asked him to change the font used, took out and picture of a rooster, I had him add a softball behind the font with our team name. Basically, I told him exactly how I wanted the logo to look. He did use his program to make this changes.
Well, a month later and he was late on getting our jerseys done twice, one was messed up so he is redoing it, and now that jersey isn't ready. I had went in last week and ordered parent t-shirts and I was just frustrated with the delays today so I told him I thought it was better to just give me my money back for the parent t-shirts and I would go somewhere else. He stated he would lose money cause he already had ordered the t-shirts so I told him fine, go ahead and print our shirts so he doesn't lose money and our parents get their shirts. I just asked that they be on time by the date he said they would be done.
He then went off on me and I'm just getting my money back...I hope. Do I have any rights to that logo or does he have all the rights? He went off and demanded I never use that logo again because its his property. If it is by law that is fine, but I actually came up with the complete idea for the logo. If I can't actually use it by law, can I just change the logo a bit and then be free to use it however I like?
