The logo, whilst quite nicely drawn, is massively stupid for one obvious reason - the mascot is a FOX which is PRO-FOX HUNTING. That's the kind of stupid that's on par the level of a British Muslim voting for the BNP.
I'd like to be able to post the image here, but a legal disclaimer prevents me from doing so. The disclaimer reads:
"[the] logo has been patented by FightTheBan.com. Under copyright laws any usage of the name or logo other than by the patentee will result in criminal prosecution."
This is also why I've elected not to write the fox's name in full in the post title, instead referring to him in the same way which pious Christians refuse to write the name of
I've good reason to believe that FightTheBan would sue if I even so much mentioned the name of their mascot on my blog. My reason being that a cursory googling suggests that FightTheBan does indeed have extensive legal experience.
They've allegedly used the songs of two bands without their permission, resulting in claims for damages, encouraged people to break the law and caused thousands of pounds' worth of damage to road signs with stickers of the aforementioned logo.
Actually it's these stickers which caused me to check out FightTheBan.com in the first place. One of the stickers has been on top of a road sign on the high street of my home town for a good while time now. Due to the positioning of the fingers and the slogan 'Fight The Ban' I'd wrongly assumed that it'd had been a protest at the smoking ban which came in to force about a year and a half ago.
It was only after passing the same sign for 18 months did I noticed what the sticker was really about. I'm so glad I checked out the site. I've had such a busy week I really needed a laugh. Keep on fighting the ban guys.
