And, these are low resolution.

Anyway, if none of them are "your cup of tea", no problem.

Just thought I'd try a few things out.

Gee, any one of them is super. I think I like the second one or the last one. I'll show them all to the embosser when the seats come in. I hope he is as good an embosser as you are a graphic designer! Thanks again. I'll let you know how it all turns out. Enjoy your weekend and stay well. I stayed home today due to all this snow and wind---no Z weather in sight!

I think the OP should ask Katzkins if they can do logos like that. Im not talking about infringing on the "Z" thing but I think they can only do basic letters but Im not sure. They are cool looking embloms and it would look good with one of them but just not sure they can do it.

Well, once again, the letter Z doesn't have the "chrome" look to it, it isn't the same font (mine is Times). Any Z will have to resemble "their" Z to some extent...that's the nature of Zs. It's not copied from anything Nissan has used. The numbers run inside the Z and I've never seen that with Nissan before.

So what you're saying is that no one can ever paint, for example, the letter Z on his 370Z? I find that hard to believe.

Katzkin guy said he didn't expect a problem. Slynky's analysis makes sense to me. My son's a copyright attorney. I'll check with him and finally get a return on my investment in his JD!

Re-reading...

I may have missed the point you were trying to make. So, you're saying they (Katskins) may only be able to stitch in standard text letters of one font or another instead of having the capability to stitch in some custom graphic.

Hmmmm...very possible. However, I guess I was equating what they would do similar to the internet places that do custom embroidery on polo shirts and so forth.

None of Slynky designs will infringe on thier logo. The "Z" in my car is just a basic "Z" and they said that was no problem. Im just not sure how detailed they can go on the emblom design.

On their website they say they can do custom logo's.
Maybe it's just extra money.

If Nissan owned the letter Z then Zorro should be sued!!

Could be true, mine were done as a part of the sale cuz I didnt want the Persimmons so I was probably limited to what I was allowed to have done.
