Some SFO love for my office!

Since the internet lets you customize just about anything, I thought I would get our department logo on some fun things for my office!

Awesome! Maybe the UFP should go into merchandising

We can't unfortunately, licensing and such.

I *need* that coffee mug. I would love to have it sitting on my desk. All the while crushing some Borg.

It is possible to, but there are a lot of rules, we have looked into it before and it didn't seem to be worth the time investment.

For the UFP to sell the merchandise directly... but individually, could a person order their own item.

Issue would be the logos. I believe they are copyrighted by UFPlanets Ltd, no?

How would a member get permission and access to them on their own to put in their own individual order?

Or could the UFP order some and give them out as gifts (prizes and such) to the community?

Here are the rules on Cafepress - http://www.cafepress.co.uk/cp/popup/...rules_startrek

This would mean we couldn't use any of our own logos, as it violates "You may not alter, reproduce, or create any marks or logos that are confusingly or strikingly similar to the logos of the Properties."

I don't see any problem with people using the logo to get mugs and other things made for their own personal use, we just wouldn't be able to make a profit from it, otherwise, we could get into some legal trouble!

I really like that Three. I have a few Star Trek Mugs (might post a pic of my favourite later) but I would love one specifically for UFP. Inside the mug must be gold of course as I'm an engineer.

I was wondering where you were able to obtain the logo and where you got these items?

I'd love to have a coffee mug for my office and home.

A lot of places will make mugs for you with a custom print, depends where you are and what your local print service is.

For example, there is Vista Print - https://www.vistaprint.co.uk/photo-g...sonalised-mugs

I didn't know Vista Print did individual applications. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I'll have a new mug in my future.

Some SFO love for my office!
