Bob Marley's Orange BeachLogo Design Contest

Have you investigated the legal aspects of using the Bob Marley name? I don't know if there would be a problem or not.

Is this an official affiliation with Bob Marley, such as cheeseburger in paradise is affiliated wetith the Jimmy Buffet brand?

We have an official affiliation with the Bob Marley estate / House of Marley.

This is the real deal.

Hello!

Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ LEAVE PRIVATE FEEDBACK BY CLICKING ON A DESIGN. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After the Open Phase ends, you can then rank Top 5 Designers in order for them to upload their revised/new logo designs.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

Boy, Bob’s son, Ziggy, really looks like his father! Geez! LOL

We cannot use Bob Marley's likeness or name unless there is a release agreement in place that is issued to the CH and the person who wins the contest.

Admin Note: The client has confirmed the above statements via email and other means.

Good!

Is it OK to use the lion holding the flag? I figured that was trademarked my someone else...

Nevermind. I suspect the Rastafari lion plays.

I doubt if it is trademarked as it's the Lion of Judah from the Bible. But I just now saw that it was also the flag of Ethiopia which the Rastafari movement adopted. So I'm wondering if it IS ok to use it? Apparently they have a new flag, so it's probably ok :)

Just wanted to say how much we appreciate the efforts of everyone that has submitted a design. We are actually a bit floored (hope thats not offensive) at how many truly cool designs have been submitted. You all have done an incredible job.

Our intent is to honor Bob Marley's memory and to make His Family, and the tens of millions of Bob Marley fans throughout the World proud of the venue we are about to create. The logo(s) that we are able to secure through this killer medium that is Logo Tournament will be seen by hundreds of thousands of people annually.

Be sure to join the 42 million that already have, and "Friend" Bob Marley on Facebook. Hopefully within 4 or 5 months from now, we'll begin plugging Bob Marley's Orange Beach on there, and eventually have a dedicated site. Our goal is to open in January of 2013, with Ziggy, Stephen, Cedella, and Mrs. Marley all in attendance and performing. Any of you who wish to attend, please keep in touch for your complementary VIP pass.

Thanks!
