Hey, you make a sticker that says "Mountain Dew: Official energizer of FIRST kids around the world."

Can you say copyright infringement? That would be sooooo illegal.

but not every FIRST kid thinks that Dew is good enough. personally, i think Dew is nasty.

I agree! Dew is what I imagine... well a similar looking substance... as tasting like.
Anyway back on topic, I'd be proud t sport any of the stickers on one of my vehicles. It would also be neat if we took some to Dean and Woodie.

Personally, I think Pepsi is the best.

Coca Cola in 'da house

you all are so wrong...

Jolt is the best!

[Carolyn Duncan]

PEPSI!!!! I love PEPSI! Did you ever have the crystal PEPSI? That stuff was great. PEPSI is my personal choice for the best soda.
Enough off topic though.

[Clark Gilbert]

Have u tried the Pepsi Twist yet???

It's GREAT!!!!

[EddieMcD]

Crystal Pepsi rocked! I myself prefer Coke to Pepsi, but Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi. Weird, huh?

Uh, we're getting a bit off topic here, don't you think?

[Elgin Clock]

Well what do we have here?? Can you say "off topic"???

Here's the perfect thread to test any solution for off topic posts!!

Now back to the bumper stickers!!!!

Any thoughts on making a FIRST euro-graphic sticker?? The white ovals with Letters.

if anyone here knows what PC Accelerator is/was, you'll know where this comes from:

Pepsi = $@#$@#$@#-Cola

i thought that the FIRST symbols weren't allowed to be changed in any manner? because the Indiana FIRST teams had their version of the FIRST symbol and it got shot down. Is that right Andy B?

[Clark Gilbert]

That was a very cool logo that someone made.....i think i have it saved somewhere, but i'll leave the posting of it to the person who made it just so i dont make anyone mad or anything...

Based on what I saw on the FIRST web-site, all you have to do is get their written consent (the logo is trademarked).

[Clark Gilbert]

I dont think they will give u "permission" to use a modified FIRST symbol....(key word being "think")

I made a logo for Indiana FIRST... it was a solid model of the FIRST logo, but with the lower left corner of the blue square stretched down to look like boxy state of Indiana. It was pretty cool.

So, like the good boy I am, I did the right thing and asked FIRST for permission if we could use this derivation of their logo. It took a while for an answer, but finally, they said "no".

Their reasoning was that if Indiana FIRST really took off, then we could eventually infringe on FIRST's trademarked logo. There is documentation from FIRST saying that we are not to alter their logo, as David has pointed out above. I would guess that it would be hard to get FIRST's written permission to use an altered state of their logo.

FIRST realizes that there are teams who incorporate the FIRST logo into their team logos, but FIRST isn't doing anything about it for now.

I think that team 500 uses FIRST's logo and I would guess that they got FIRST's permission to use it.

ps... I would post the logo, but I deleted it. Clark, do you still have it? If so, go ahead and post it.

[Clark Gilbert]

Why would i delete it?.....It's simple, but very cool, especially if you are from Indiana...
