Freedom of expression... very important. Personal beliefs... very personal. Victory... good. Believing in something... priceless.
Although your intentions are good and heartfelt, remember that the Victory oval is the trademarked property belonging to Polaris industries, and cannot be used legally without their permission.
Unfortunately, I know this from personal experience with Polaris.
...not trying to incite riot....but if you use them for personal use and not resale??? I don't think the trademark police are out and about? |

True - as far as what I understand in my research on a similar type effort... |

SF Bay Area | My personal opinion...? Sure, why not.
What would I do...? Make the design different enough so that there is no way a person would mistake it for the trademarked logo (either Polaris or the VMC), and run with it. Shape alone is not the trademark. Be careful to not use their wings or lettering.
If you want, you can always send it to me for an opinion. I am the guy who trademarked the VMC logo back in 2001.

scotts valley, California | Just got back from a one week mission trip away from the net. Work on the patch is resuming. VMC and Polaris should not take issue. There are enough differences to where there should be no trademark issues. I just hope that Jesus does not take issue!
Mike, thanks for your offer to review the design; I will post it here as soon as I have an electronic image.
This patch on the back of a rider on a Victory motorcycle should open as many doors for discussion about Victory motorcycles as it does for discussions about Jesus. |

Belding Michigan | I have been wearing CMA colors for many years and I like that it stands for something as I do also. I am also an ordanied Minister working with the Motorcycle community. I find it to be wonderful that so many are willing to express their faith on this forum and share it with others. I would love to have a patch as well so keep me in the loop thanks. Archie |

Allen Park, MI | I also find it rather refreshing considering our country (primarily our politicians) are speeding in the other direction. |

scotts valley, California | Thanks for posting the image for me, Crispin. BTW, can I borrow a couple of brain cells? Thanks to Kevin, some of mine blew out the back door.
I am told that the little threads that connect letters in the image will not be there on the final product.
If people express an interest and Mike does not talk me out of it, I'll look into having some 3.5 inch ones made. It seems like the price should go down on reorders, too, the software being all complete. The first two 12 inch patches cost me $69.86 each plus shipping. Then the price dropped to about $45, so I can put one in an envelope and ship it off for $50. |
