I know this is going to sound strange but here I go, will duck after posting. I have a 09 lt/dk candy root beer bike, I enjoy Mug root beer and i think the logo they use is cool. The bulldog holding a frosted mug. The colors are great ad would look good painted on the rear fender above the fender light and below the taillight.
The question is this as long as I dont put the words Mug Root Beer would I be breaking a copyright law?
I really wouldn't worry about it! I see logo's on other peoples bikes all the time! Go do what ya want. I'm sure they have bigger fish to fry. You like it...paint it!
Its likely a trademark, and yes you would be in violation - just change it up a bit and put a cigar in his mouth and a V-Twin tat on his mug arm. I love your idea.... *** em if they cant take a joke...
I don't think it would be a problem; young adults around here are rolling 80's and early 90's Chevy's and Ford's painted like M&Ms, Snickers, Cherrios, etc.
