Sure it would. But for camino merchandise I have the idea that this classic one is the safest choice. Even though it is easy to make another one. I am considering another one, though, that I personally think is prettier. But I am in doubt whether people will recognise it as a camino shell if it is too stylish and creative. But actually it might not matter at all to the customers...It would be pretty simple to draw your own original scallop shell design.
Well, the "shell" on the Camino markers is pretty stylized!Sure it would. But for camino merchandise I have the idea that this classic one is the safest choice.

Curiously I was browsing my favourite on-line newspaper over lunch when I saw this article.Does anyone know whether this classic scallop shell logo is protected by copyright or anything like it? I am planning to produce some camino stuff with the logo on it if possible. If anyone knows the original graphic designer or the story of exactly this logo, I am very interested.
Hi MarieLauFlorin - I'm a qualified designer artist, have worked on many products. Its my understanding that the scallop design is universal and has multiple variations. If someone has developed a new design they may well have copyright on it. Adding your own touch, your flair, your personality, to a design, working through a number of rough ideas and coming up with your favourite, will give it far more individuality and you may feel you've contributed something new to a brand that is being done to oblivion. I always like the more original ideas, have bought some Tshirts myself of them. Go for it. Let us all see your originality and creativity - who knows, you may have customers in the forum. Good luck.

What a story!!Curiously I was browsing my favourite on-line newspaper over lunch when I saw this article.
I think that's taking "fair copying" too far but I doubt anybody is going to get overly excited about using a scallop shell (apart from Shell Oil that is!)
Sounds exciting, I know the 'buzz' and satisfaction of it. Don't hang back, go for it; paint, crayons, inks, colour, paper, ideas all over the place untill you get what you're looking for. Best wishes.Hi Keith. Now THAT'S something I understand. You have convinced me completely. I will go for my own personal version. Still classic, but my own. Thank you so much for your input. Now next step is finishing the design and finding a manufacturer. And then hopefully: Staring to sell my stuff.
If someone created it, then it is copyrighted. A copyright does not have to be registered to be valid. The moment someone creates some new work of art, it is copyrighted. As a photographer I am highly sensitive to this. They wouldn’t have copyright on any work of art based on a scallop shell, but they’d have it on their work of art. If you create an original work of art based on a scallop shell you should be fine. If you copy someone else’s they would be right in demanding that you cease using it.Does anyone know whether this classic scallop shell logo is protected by copyright or anything like it?

Yes, of course I will. I'm back from Spanienland tonight - what a place, what an adventure. Love it to bits. Lots of new souvenir shops and designs around - nought special! Look forward to seeing your designs - I link with you and give you my email address, send them there.Keith if I send you my design will you give your opinion on it?
