They're coming to Dudley on April 4th eh? I guarantee that will end badly..

I can't function properly without a beer in me.

How much you after for it Barber?

They're not an overpriced store by any means.. Sure the T's they stock aren't £3 like in H&M, but as a skate shop goes, for skateboard related products they sell them at the standard prices.

I was speaking to Sam over Facebook earlier.. I'm thinking of popping over weather/bicycle depending on Wednesday evening if that's cool with you guys? Does anyone have a spare mallet I can use for a bit?

I've litterally never played bike polo ever! Is Wednesday night the best time for me to come along? Or is there a newbie friendly session at another time?

I should have said in the previous post, that i'm after a "proper" track frame.. Got a conversion already!

Anyone got a frame for sale? 55cm..

I'm keeping an eye on the main forum as well as eBay.

Would rather buy local though!

hahaha - I'll link Zip to this. Hipster!

Woah! Seriously, I've never seen or heard of Spencer Cross in my life! That's scary! Maybe like you say, there is nothing new under the sun..

All good Mr Smyth. No, nothing is trademarked or copy written. Nievely, I didn't think to do it. Also, I have no money to do!

I'll probably just create a fake 'official' cease and desist legal document and send it to them.

am i looking at the right images because apart from the word milk i see no visual similarities?
the word 'milk' is out there, free to be used by anyone.
the fact that you used it for a club night and somebody else is now using it for a club night is hard cheese.
no point getting eggy over it.

Seriously? Have you even looked at it?!

It's a creative consultancy company that's ripped us off, not a club night.

The originals were designed by me and another lad for a friends Dj night.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you're the first person to say that there is no visual similarities between the two. Both in this thread, and out of everyone i've discussed this with. But whatevs..

The name 'Milk' isn't in question here.. It's the visual identity of the logo. Take another look.

Do you have any constructive suggestions on what we can do about it, if anything?

@Teddy - Thanks for the advice. I've read through their site thoroughly, and only gave that date as the first online record I could find of their existence..

My friend Atticus (the DJ chap) lives near them, and so is popping in tomorrow for a chat. Hopefully, it can be resolved peacefully and credit will be given to the respective parties. However, anyone riding in the Farringdon area might want to watch out for chairs flying through windows.

Sorry, link fixed to flyer.

I don't even particularly like the logo.. I just think it's even more insulting that it's a 'creative consultancy' business that stole it!

Hey Guys,

I don't normally stray from the Birmingham sub-forum, but I know there are some designers on here and I was wandering if anyone had been in a similar situation, and knew what to do/if there was anything we could do!

milkinsight.com is a Farringdon, London based trend consultancy place. They also produce an online and physically printed magazine, which is stocked in Magma.

The first post on their blog was 08 December 2009.

8 months earlier, in April 2009, my friend Atticus set up a music night at a bar in Stourbridge called 'Milk'. I produced a logo for him, and another lad called Adam did the flyers.

Although it started small in Stourbridge, the night became very big and Atticus was asked to play at some larger clubs in Birmingham. He has sinced moved to London for University and is playing every week. His next gig is with Duke Dumont and We're Not Cool - a Ministry of Sound DJ - my point here is, Atticus isn't just playing in his bedroom in Stourbridge..

Here is the stuff for the first 'Milk' show. The logo and identity were continued throughout the rest of the shows flyers/posters/promo stuff.

Milk, London website/magazine - featuring 'stolen logo'

As you can see, Milk Insight from London have merged the two ideas from the Milk DJ Night flyers. Changing the milk bottle 'I' silhouette and adding in the red lines. A total rip off!

My question is - what should we do about it? Is there anything we can do about it?

I had to learn how to skid switch, and now do so all the time because after long rides or if i'd had to skid my natural way (right foot forward) my right hip would be in agony at the end of the day. I think it's the pulling up motion wrenching something in my hip.

Having a fucked up knee from skateboarding on the right side doesn't help much either!

Green frame blasting down Hagley Road this morning in Quinton

Sad news. RIP.

Hopefully some good can come from this terrible situation:- ie more awareness/care/respect from vehicles towards cyclists or more cycle lanes from the council.

I'll PM you my email address. Feel free to message me if/when you get them.

ANY VILLA FANS?
I've got one ticket for the Villa Vs Spurs game tomorrow...

Ffuuuuucccckkkk - I need to start checking this forum more often! Would have snapped that off you, even though you're a yid!

who's is the bike i always see locked up by the bull with the all over frame sticker job?

they closed the roads off for the last one.. i was there taking photos for a uni project. *reminisces!

Anyone got a quill stem for sale?

They're Campagnolo 'Centaur'. Says 172.5 on the chain ring arm.

Anyone got a large chainring? For the smaller chain size.. Need to up my speed!

In case I forget to ask you tonight Dan, have you still got any of those Randonneurs in stock?
