Default harley davidson logo

Ive had a brainchild goin here for a little while now. I know, Watch Out! Hope you guys tell me your thoughts on it. I want to use a real nice looking piece of oak plywood that has been laying around my shop and cut it into a decent sized harley davidson logo. We're talking somewhere around 36'' or so. It wont have any of the letters cut out or anything, just the basic shape. I just want to get it cut out of the wood and put a good sealer on it and hang it up in the shop and put some of my prouder stickers and patches and **** like that on it. I was also wondering what everyone though about it infringing on H-Ds copyrights and trademarks and things of the like. Also if anyone has any tips as far as how to get it blown up to a proportion of that size I would be greatful. Let me know. Thanks

As long as you aren't mass producing and selling them I'm sure Harley doesn't care if you use their bar and shield in your shop.

I'd just take some measurements and multiply by the increase you want and lay it out that way. You could digitize a logo and project it onto paper and trace it, but you may not have the equipment for that.

If they come after you just mention all the Harley tats out there and tell them to go after them first.

As long as you're not selling them, they could care less. Use a router to fill it in.

You think HD will sue you for advertising their brand without having to pay you for it?
