To Trainwreck Circuit or not to Trainwreck Circuit...

Post by Lonely Raven »

OK, I need to ask so I don't make a faux pas.

As many of you know, I'm making custom Trainwreck Faceplates for Ceriatone chassis (and soon Allyn Chassis). I've just been doing a simple faceplate with a nice font and an image, burned in by laser. Example:

By request, I'm working on a simpler, more accurate to Ken's originals Trainwreck faceplate with just simple lettering under the knobs BR V T M B P, and an animal drawing (or whatever). But my question is...would it be wrong for me to put Trainwreck Circuits as shown on Francesca?

I absolutely will never do a Trainwreck logo for anyone but the owners of the Trainwreck logo should they ever ask! But I'm wondering if putting Trainwreck Circuits is going too far over that boundry?

Your thoughts?

Yes, I think putting Trainwreck Circuits crosses that line. Ken gave this group his blessing provided we only make amps for personal use. I think putting the TW name goes against Ken's wishes for this group.

Also, Trainwreck Circuits is trademarked and is actively being enforced by the family.

Thanks guys. I knew the TW logo was trademarked, but I wasn't sure about the Trainwreck Circuits. As I said, I didn't want to do anything wrong so I figured I'd ask first. Obviously, thus far I've pretty much been doing my own thing. I'll just stick to that. :lol:

Thanks for the comment v846!
