Very similar, yes, but I would say different enough to avoid any copyright infringement issues.

...the other is being used as the logo for a local DJ company.

I can't understand using that as a DJ company logo. Us old f*rts know what it is and have actually used them.

But today's clientele? I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority won't recognize it and therefore make no connection to its use by a DJ company.

Instead you'll probably get a WTF look...

What's a 45? It doesn't look like a handgun. The shape is similar, but one is line art while the other looks almost like a photo.

I've seen a number of logos based on the 45 adapter. It's also a cool looking image .. look at any skateboard or snowboard logo and they are similar design wise.

I have been looking at an alternative to a business card and a handout shaped like this or maybe a pick would be cool.

As you said similar but not the same, the line art and edging are worlds apart.

To the mention of clientèle of today would be clueless.....I would have to agree.

Numark has been using it on their controllers, so it still has some presence.

I think I still have a 78 around here someplace.


I have two crates of them, that came out of the jukebox at the bar here -- circa 30 and 40s. I have one somewhere autographed by the Andrews gals -- they were not allowed in the joint -- no women were allowed. Their driver came in and got their drinks, and then bring them out to the car.

Remember the Apalachin Meeting. Not all of them went up Route 17. Quite a few stopped here for coffee and a couple shots. My great Grandad and Grandfather did quite a bit of work for those folks.

Grandma told me there's one still left buried -- but we don't dig in the backyard -- you never know what you will find...

Interesting history here.
 
Wes has it right. You cannot really own a "shape"...
so it'll depend on how it is used in the logo.
