I want to add the DVD Video logo to my client's DVDs, but can't find it. Anyone got it, or know where I can get it?

Thanks,
jchenier

hey no problem... vector logos can be tough to find.

You should see how cool Dolby does thier logo thing.. I recently got certified for Dolby Digital and they sent me a Truetype Font.. that was thier logo.. kinda like the wingdings font but each letter was a Dolby Logo.. pretty cool, at least I thought, cause you can put them anywhere.

That is cool. I have a bunch of corporate typefaces (IBM, ESPN, Ford, Coke).

Any chance you have the Mini DV logo?

Happy holidays Jared, you made my whole year like christmas morning with your Web site (and all the stuff I bought as a result).

no go on the Minidv logo... never had a reason to use it. I am not sure if you need some sort of license to use it either.

And J, happy holidays to you. It's people like you and your input that make this forum what it is.

I just wanted to throw the MiniDV logo at the end of my credit roll, kinda like a "filmed with Panavision" feel, "shot with MiniDV" just a DV-pride thing.

I just noticed I've been dropping the second "r" from your first name, so for the holidays, I'm giving you your "r" back!

Thank again Jarred

Re: DVD Logo? Anyone got it?

just a note, the dvd logo requires a licence agreement to use it on discs... just fyi
 
Re: DVD Logo? Anyone got it?

you only need a licence if you MAKE dvd's... meaning if you are Riktek or Maxell or someone. They already paid the license.
I could be totally wrong of course.
 
Re: DVD Logo? Anyone got it?

I understood it to be for people creating dvd's for release, like replication houses, etc also... Anyplace creating a dvd final product using the dvd spec. Of course, I can be way off too.... it's a monday.
 
Re: DVD Logo? Anyone got it?

thats not a licensing matter, it is a spec question. DVD-R's dont play on all DVD video players, so you are going against spec if you put the dvd video logo on one. IF you send a DVD-R to the DVD forum to request a license (which you dont need to do) they would reject it because it doesnt meet spec.

If you however get a glass master and stamp DVD's, then you can use the logo, you dont need to pay that the company that makes the master has already paid the licensing fee.
