Thanks for all the help everyone. I was able to get help in designing a digital file.
My friend was very happy with the results. He can't wait to wear his new shirts at a wedding he is photographing this weekend.
I asked about the logo and he purchased it from an online logo design store. He chose the colours, so it is more than likely the logo has been sold to other people with other colours. So in effect it is HIS logo with HIS company name. I totally understand what people were getting at with the copyright issues.
So again thank you all!! You were most helpful!!
I have checked the logo on the internet and it is used by various companies. The only thing that changes are the names. I am sure to add your name to the logo you would have to have permission from the creator.
You need written permission from the one who owns the copyright of the logo, which is not necessarily your friend if he has not drawn it himself. The one who would digitise the logo would need to see that permission to avoid getting into legal trouble.
I have seen the logo (minus the name) used before. You may want to double check that.
Oh, bugger. Only wanted to do something nice now i find out this. Ok will have to try and find creator.
Send a PM to basketkase. She does digitizing at a very reasonable price.
I would look on line Apex Embroidery does custom work , and I know there are many more sites out there. The thing about embroidery you have to test it to make sure the stitch out is the way you want it, if you ask someone for free ( and it takes time) how due you go back to them to fix it?
I had some custom embroidery done , we went back and forth 3 times before I was happy with the stitch out. Just a thought!
