Just curious..would it still be trademark issues if the O in worlds was a pawprint?
___
And I am amazed that they turned people away a few years ago wearing anything with Disney imagery on it. I "dress" my daughter (yeah, I am one of those annoying people) whenever we go to the parks in many Disney inspired creations that I have bought from etsy and elsewhere on line. I have never had any issues with it...in fact most of the seamstresses said that you are allowed to used Disney images if it is not for profit, which obviously they are in violation of ...but supposedly if I said that I made it for "my" daughter- they wouldn't give any issues.
So my long rambling post comes down to, if Disney ever gave you issues just say that you made it not-for profit for your daughter.
Honestly I would be pissed if someone turned me away for that!
It honestly depends on a couple things:
Does it resemble someone's trademark? So far the people I have talked to did something with the Summit and THAT is what was trademarked. Worlds itself is not trademarked, but the Cheerleading Worlds is. (fast fact... Varsity tried to trademark cheerleading at one time, hah).
Could it be confused with someone's trademark?
Are you making money off of it?
And do they have the time to actually go after you? one maybe, but everyone? it becomes sticky.
