The black & white of nr.01 is bad.  It looks too much like the CBS eye
(One of "The big 3" television networks in the states)

If you use it, you will feel like a new man when their lawyers finish with you.

I went to www.cbs.com and saw their logo. Yes, they look a little alike, but
not that much. If POV logo nr. 1 look too much like it, then any simple
eye-like symbol would look too much like it. I don't think it will be a
problem, but thank you anyway for bringing it to our attention.

Me? I'm not the one who is going to use it! I'm just taking care of the
contest...

Greetings,

I don't agree. It looks very different. The CBS logo is closed, for one
thing, and the circle touches the edges of the logo. It's also a lot pointer
than mine. If they sue, they're crazy.

You and i may think it is very different.  Most reasonable people think
that the Go Network logo didn't really look like that other logo.
A judge thought it did.  So basically anything resembling a green circle
in a yellow box belongs to (that other company, which is not owned by Disney)

It's just the b&w one i object to.  I think the overall concept is brilliant
and i like the other renderings.

What do you think is the purpose of the law dept. of a multi-billion 
dollar corporation?

It's a friggin' national epidemic here!! Our legal system is out of control. We
produce half the world's lawyers.

Here in Connecticut we are blessed with the US's highest per capita income.
(like $48000/yr per person). I often say it takes a lot of lawyers to offset
all those poor people.

	Absolutely correct. New Jersey stopped accepting toxic waste.

I do hope we get more submissions. What I have seen there so far is impressive.
It makes me realise how utterly -useful- a proper logo (in its various forms,
as shown on your page) would be.

If it would help I'm willing to put a pointer to some info on the competition
from the POV-Ray web site. Just let me know via email.
