Primer idiota, mas bien.
meda meda meda meda!!!
Incoming cease and desist…
No. Shi*.
There’s a handful of trademarks I, in my wildest dream, wouldn’t even homage. This is one.
Second
who the heck ever posts “second?”
oh well, that makes the fail more amusing.
FAILURE
Who’s voting for these? Come on.
your name is stupid
lol look whos talking
WIN
James Galvin Framing, Inc. apparantly does not comprehend the meaning of the little circle with the “R” inside it.
He may be in the clear because he changed the logo ever so slightly (big lump-hammer to a claw hammer). Kinda like that company that makes the shirts and stuff that say “cocaine” in the Coca Cola script, with the “dynamic ribbon device” (the official name for the “swoosh”)
Those places still get sued… if you can track them down. If it’s enough to cause confusion – you’re at fault.
sixth!!!
If it’s on purpose, it doesn’t count. Nothing to see here, move along.
eighth!!!!
The logo on the vehicle uses a framing hammer, so my guess is that they just stole the Arm & Hammer logo, but modified it slightly. Anyway, the Better Business Bureau doesn’t seem to mind. Whoa… BBB. I never thought that coincidence would come up on this site.
BBB has nothing to do with trademark infringement.
Of course the Arm and Hammer logo is a ripoff of the Socialist Labor Party of America (really!).

Arm and Hammer logo – 1860
SLPA logo – 1876
you = fail
First use of the Arm and Hammer logo by Church and Dwight (makers of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda): 1878. It was based on an earlier logo for Vulcan Spice Mills, however neither logo was as similar to the SLPA logo as the modern version of A & H logo.
Hammers were a popular motif for various purposes through time. The surprising fact is not the use of an arm holding a hammer (which can be found in any number of other logos in the 19th C. and before), but the striking similarity of these two logos.
FYI- both logos are based on the symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America (SLP).
Read: both the Arm & Hammer company and Galvin Framing are paying homage to their political parties
Horseshit.
The “arm holding a hammer” motif (especially as used by the SLPA) has been used as a heraldic device in Europe since the Middle ages, and is decribed in heraldic terms as “a dexter Arm embowed the hand holding a Hammer”.
You guys never do things first – you haven’t been around long enough.
So Vulcans DO like spices…..fascinating
Indeed!
Trademark violation fail.
Someone should call them and ask them what’s up. The number is right there.
Oh geez,
That phone number is a Central Texas exchange. That’s my area.
Doesn’t anyone understand the concept of registered trademarks?
the “Austin, TX” in the bottom of the circle is also a big tipoff that it’s central Texas…
I guess you’re right. Maybe my browser is malfunctioning because the left side of the 2 pictures is so dim, I can barely read any of the print.
I had to really enlarge my display after reading your post to even be able to read that.
And in case your geography is a little rusty, it says “CENTRAL TEXAS” on the Better Business Bureau logo.
Well, gee guys,
I just really apologize for the fact that my monitor/browser is not displaying things clearly enough for me to meet your high standards with my posting.
For pete’s sake – it was just a comment, already.
Inexcusable. You are hereby banished from the internet until you obtain a new monitor and/or fix the settings on your current monitor.
Lawsuit Fail
no… lawsuit win!
It looks like a direct copy …except for the little copyright circle
, oh and the sledge is now a claw hammer.
PLAGIARISM IS NOT A TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE
HOMAGES ARE NOT A TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE
And in case you were wondering, no, my caps lock button is not broken.
Caps lock: cruise control for awesome….
I kid. I kid. I’m totally on your side with this one.
Hey, Totally Looks Like, I have a suggestion. Ready? Here it is: NEW PAGE. Call it “Plagiarism Fail.” or “I Smell A Lawsuit.” You don’t even have to credit me for that idea. Just stop effing posting lame plagiarisms and (usually unauthorized) homages. Blech.
nope
Nice.
Ismellalawsuit.com
This should be the first posting
Ismellalawsuit.com would be a huge hit.
wrong
Based on your avatar, your username is both inaccurate and misleading.
So umm… there. Take that.
it’s only misleading if you want it to be
Can we put a “Trademark infringement is not a LOOKS LIKE” rule in here someplace?
I bet Arm and Hammer would like to talk to this guy.
As Trademark Counsel for Church & Dwight Co., Inc.,
the owner of the iconic ARM & HAMMER trademark, all I can say is that it looks like I have an issue that needs to be dealt with. Thank you all for bringing this to my attention.
Why is a left arm with a right hand?
heeeeyyyy that’s in austin!
or round rock. or pflugerville. or cedar park.
Definitely Austin. And I KNOW those yahoos. They ain’t worth a flip. Never mind the fact that they STOLE their logo. No self-respecting business would steal a logo from a national brand. (Or any other for that matter!) And they claim BBB membership….. Yeah, right.
Maybe not enough for a trademark infringement charge to stick. Since the business of this firm is completely different A&H. One is a framing firm the other home cleaning and other household products. The hammer is different, etc.
Yes, they are similar, but not enough to “cause confusion” or “dilute the value of the existing trademark”, the typical legal standards for infringement.
looks like copyright infringement to me !
WOOOOT!!! post number 128-ish! yay for me and my awesome accomplishment!!!!
I’M FIRST FINALLY!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Lol arm and Hammer got ripped off.
