You give us a discount, you can put your sign up. You give me that piece of clothing and I will advertise your brand name. No one should be able to do that, except for the fact that brand names are now more popular than the style, the design, craftsmanship or anything. There, I have vented my spleen on that subject and have wanted to do that one for years!!!!!
Exactly!!

unless I had a quilt pattern that cut the logo off I wouldnt even buy it no matter how great the design looked, and I'd find the manufacturer and email them I chose not to buy their product due to this issue - the salvedge edge is fine for logos. sharet

I hate logos on clothing, shoes, purses, etc; so yes, I don't like it on the material. It is so much a part of that panel, however, you must decide what you want to do with it. Were you planning on doing a "panel quilt"? Or were you going to cut it anyway?.
OR, maybe you could applique something over it.
Good luck.

As a former librarian, I try to keep within copyright laws but when I quilt, I want my (sometimes plain and very not perfect) quilts to be MINE. For this reason, I avoid panels unless I am doing charity quilts for children and even then I like a more generic panel.
I find it really small minded to slip a logo into something that will garner free advertising. A nephew won't even allow a car dealer to put his logo on the back when he buys a new car. He's a Public Relations Specialist and REFUSES on principle to provide advertising for anything for which he's not reimbursed.
Maybe you should submit an advertising bill with a letter of complaint to RealTree (or whatever the culprit is)!

I would probably have to cut it off, or applique something over it - just on principle. My luck, fifty years from now anything with that logo would be a collector's item worth big bucks, and I would have destroyed mine.
Ah well, I'm not going to be around fifty years from now anyway! I say get rid of it if it bugs you!

I would cut it off and it would annoy me to lose the frame. I might applique something over it as well. I was very annoyed to see the geisha material I bought had stupid names written under each geisha. They were not even Japanese names and I had to applique flowers over them. I guess they forced me to be creative in a way I did not expect!
