shirt for Harley Davidson

#1 Unread post by medousy »

I want to submit an idea for a t-shirt to Harley Davidson. How do I go about sending a design w/ my copyright? I have an idea for a shirt for Harley Davidson. I have searched the world over for a shirt like this and there isn't one. I thought I would submit a proposal to the company to use my design. How do I go about it? It must be sent via mail. I guess I could mail a copy to myself in order to copyright it. But the idea itself is the best part and I don't think it can be copyrighted. They could probably use the words and design their own version don't you think?

Ummm. Why are you asking a public forum? I'd think you'd have better luck contacting HD directly.

LL, I moved this post over to here from the News forum... still not sure if it's a valid one, but as there's no unauthourised content I figured what the heck, let's see what happens with it.

I'd start by legally copyrighting the idea with the U.S copyright office. Look here: http://www.ehow.com/how_4702988_copyrig ... ncept.html

Copyright a design that requires a licensed logo??? Is that even possible? Since Harly probably doesn't manufacture their own clothing, then maybe you should be either seeking permission to use their logo, (big bucks) and ordering your own line from a manufacturer, or doing a home made one-off design for yourself...
