I am not being over dramatic and no one here likes it when their artwork gets copied.
Technically, it ISN'T his artwork. That logo, in ANY FORM, belongs to the Microsoft Corporation. Technically, according to both Microsoft's T&C and Jagex's T&C, he doesn't have permission to be posting it in the forums at all, and is in violation of the Forum Code of Conduct.
Now you see what you started?
Taken from Microsoft:
Original message details are unavailable.
Do not use the Windows logo on or in connection with products, packaging, manuals, promotional or advertising materials, or Web sites for any purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Microsoft. See the Logo Programs page for more details.
In other words, don't use it for commercial purposes. Nop Patar didn't create it for that, but you recopied it against the thread rules.
I enjoy the artwork when it is posted by the original user. You could easily have just suggested that I try a black background. You didn't need to show me, because guess what? I did try the black background, and I prefer the white.
I appreciate you trying to help, but I do not appreciate you being dififcult.
We are not friendly to copiers, because we do not tolerate them. I did not claim the windows logo to be my property, it is my artistic interpretation of it. The drawing itself is in fact mine, or Jagex's if they wish.
Think of this like a cover of a song. The artist is not claim the song to be theirs, nor are they using it for commercial purposes. They are simply sharing it with the world for recreational purposes. However, this does not mean somebody can take a recording of their cover and claim it to be theirs.
If you are accusing me of infringing on microsoft's copyright then wouldn't you be guilty of the same? You really have no grounds for argument.
Ah darn, now look what I've done. I've yet again wasted my time on a petty copier. Eh whatever. Please just edit your post.
