Got an email from ubiks Cube licensing asking me to remove the partitions on my cube images that were the main graphic on my home page. Said looks too much like the ubiks cube. I could have just removed the lines on the cube and they would have been fine with that but, decided on a new / look graphic

www.360photostock.com

Have not tweaked this new graphic (it's a sloppy copy for now) so it's up there just as a 'place holder' till I finish tidying up the image. Whatcha think? Does it look alright? I'm kinda not liking the fact that the two panels on the right have black as the bottom of the image, which takes away from them looking like complete vertical rectangles. Do you agree with that first impression / thought? The cubes were sort of cool but, did look a tad awkward / out of place.

    What mark (trademark) were they referring to? Rubik's cube trademark is --very-- specific in its description, unless I missed one in my search:
    The mark consists of a black cube having nine color patches on each of its six faces with the color patches on each face being the same and consisting of the colors red, white, blue, green, yellow and orange. The drawing is lined for the colors red and green. The remaining colors -- white, blue, yellow, and orange -- do not appear in the drawing, but are claimed as a feature of the mark.

    Did you have that mark with all of the colors?

    Doesn't need to be those colors
    It doesn't need to be displaying those colors. Just a cube with 9 quadrants on each side..... which is what mine had, albeit my own graphic overlaid on each side. I found their trademark / licensing text and it was very specific and, my graphic did fit into their minimum criteria but there were very nice about it in the email.

    I didn't see your original graphic, but I think the current one is very nice.
