CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - New build, "Name That Truck" submissions requested

You cannot sell it. Period. If it is presented in such a way that it would or could be confused with the D.C. Comics brand, then yes, It would be infringement. But it's a logo on a drag truck.
The Chevy "bow tie" is a trademarked symbol as is "HEMI". It's different, but racers paint them all over their cars without ever thinking all the time.

In the end, it all depends on who sees it and how they think. Do lawyers frequent your home track?

Variations of color and layout or font can work around this issue.

Maybe wrapping it in Chevy "S" 10 in some way. I can play with this over the week if you want. I never worked in the industry but I have design training.
