Title: Amiga Branded Stuff!
Post by: LordSpunky on March 30, 2011, 10:08:36 PM
Hi peeps, I did a search and found some Amiga related T-shirts on sale on various websites, from the original KS 1.x start screen to the multicoloured tick. I also saw a mug someone bought with the Workbench 3.1 style squares on it.....and I thought.......I want that! But some of the t-shirts aren't brilliant, and not quite what I want. Has anyone thought about this?
It was also mentioned in a thread somewhere 'wouldn't it be great if Amigakit.......'.
So, this summer I would like to be able to buy a few Amiga related t-shirts, a couple Amiga mugs and what about window stickers?!

Additional, if your still awake after reading that - what about Amiga related desktop back grounds, there are a few on here, but took me ages to find them..........I want some my A4000 can display and some I can put on my modern non-Amiga hardware so people know what I love! ;)

I maybe talking shit....but it is what I am thinking about:banana::banana::quickdraw::destroy::drink: I also found these icons on here! Never really looked before ;p

The Amiga brand of personal computers belongs to C=USA.  All business use would need to be approved by them.

The Amiga brand is still owned by Amiga Inc.
C=USA licenses the brand for use on computers.
As tee shirts are not computers, it seems unlikely that C=USA's permission would be required.
I'd also be willing to bet that a lot of Amiga related merchandise is not properly licensed.

Does it? I thought they 'joined forces' to make some stuff but Amiga was independent of Commodore? Well grrrrr I want 'stuff' :(

Nice! Since tee shirts pre-date C=USA, I kind of figured they'd be available.

And of course, neither C=USA nor Amiga Inc have actually stopped Amiga branded products.  That distinction would belong to Hyperion which p***ed on AmigaOne branded mice...

Gary Peake of Amiga Inc. was very active in stopping people from selling Amiga branded stuff.  He had loads of case badges, T-shirts and other stuff pulled from eBay back in the early 2000's.  I don't suppose they care any more, though.

I imagine Bill's a little dispirited these days. Is it really worth chasing after a few hundred items?

Meanwhile, Atari appears to have turned into a fashion brand:

Bizarre!

I have a custom Video Toaster mug made by converting that infamous Toaster test pattern framestore into a jpeg and taking it to one of those places in the mall that put people on mugs & shirts & stuff. ;-) Once had a traveling rep from Newtek come into the store & wonder where I got it. ;-)

I wonder if Cafe Press would work.... but they probably wouldn't do trademarked stuff...

Must be because I've been using the mobile site.

This any better?
