NG tank logo stolen by TV company 2011-05-14 01:46:44


hi folks. I'm NCH and a very disappointed Singaporean from singapore

I recently found out that our local media broadcast company, MediaCorp stole the newgrounds tank and use it as mere clipart in their titlecard.

I'm both shocked and disgusted about this.
heres my recording I did

I've already email tom-fulp on this issue so I hope he does something to this. cause I dont want to see mediacorp get away with it by using some corporate logo as clipart

"Groom My Room", of all the people to steal a tank logo? I bet you some lazy-ass web designer made it for them, and now someone's fucked.

Tom should sue through the ass to pay people to make more awesome stuff for NG.

Tom's a pretty cool guy. He probably won't care or do anything unless they absolutely just used the logo and claimed it was their own etc. Then he would probably do something.

It may have been Tom who made the original, Jeff Bandelin (A.K.A Johnnyutah) remade the logo into the glorious husk it is today. The logo along with the websites name is copyrighted.

wat. I always thought JohnnyUtah's real name was Johnny.

Johnny is a nickname for Jeff. Like Jimmy is for James.

no tanks, hrm

no, they show a diff theme title card every new episode, so the next episode they are showing has a military theme to it, so they added some tanks to the logo, which apparently is the newgrounds tanks

Release the lawyers!

Seriously, that's pretty cheap and unoriginal of them. There really isn't anything Tom can do unless Singapore offers foreign copyright protection where he can file a complaint or seek compensation.

Okay, this thread is the first I have heard of this show. I still think the person responsible for creating that title card is a newgrounder and got permission. It seems like free advertising. We all know how much Tom loves advertising.

but this is false advertising and wrong use of a logo that represent something. it may represent that newgrounds is a kids show that does makeovers to kid's room.

basically its almost as bad as using apple's apple icon to represent your apples or something.

this is downright terrible. Tom should sue them, and then use the money to speed up the redesign so it'll launch sooner

but seriously its bad

I think it's pretty obvious that Tom stole the tank logo!

Actually it is, it's pretty famous on the internet (there are many videos of it on youtube).

Also it kinda inspired me to try out art and shit when I was a kid.

Singaporeans. They're too kiasu, they beat your ass to a bloody pulp for chewing gum and their leader bashes the opposition (well, sometimes, but I generally have a picture of Singapore as a clean, wealthy city).

Hey, I suggest that we should get the designer to be caned 5000 times for stealing our logo! Yeah!
