This is bullshit and we should not let this stand. Please read and share (Lacoste had a shirt design of mine removed from RedBubble because it had a crocodile on it) entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

The full story is here on Medium but let me give you a summary:

Yesterday, I created a t-shirt design featuring a crocodile and some text (you can see the design in the Medium article) which looks nothing like the Lacoste logo (and the typeface looks nothing like the text on the Lacoste logo either) and posted it on RedBubble.

I respected IP to the T: the typeface I used was purchased from Creative Market and the crocodile illustration is part of the (Apache 2.0, allows for derivatives, re-distribution and commercial use) Noto Color Emoji set by Google. I'm not some sort of hack that throws together some random images they found on Google. I actually respect other peoples' property and care about my designs.

Not a day went by before Lacoste requested the takedown of my design. I mean, even potential customers didn't have a chance to find it (I think it had five views or something) but sure, trust Lacoste to find it and have it killed.

Please read the entire thing on Medium and please, please, PLEASE share it. As I say in the article, this is not about re-instating the design, I don't care about that (even though I purchased one of the t-shirts myself because I liked it).

No, what pisses me off is the boundless arrogance of Lacoste and the way they think they can push indie creators around like that. Help me make a stand.
