I'll do anything that gains me more experience and collaboration with superior artists such as yourselves. DW My Little Pony meets Leatherface?? DW: Toxic Avenger meets Archie? I'm on it! lol

I’ve got it; the ultimate throw down: Alien vs. Predator against the most fearsome foe of all—-Strawberry Shortcake!:p:har:

My thoughts... I think this needs to look much different than anything associated with the print publications. We want to make it clear this isn't something that is actually printed and sold, but instead a collaboration with forum members on a project.

So with that said, if we put Digital Webbing on it, it needs to include the word "forum" with it. Also, let's keep the spider logo off of it as well. Less confusion, the better. The reading public out there does get confused on unexpected things; for example, there were countless times readers thought the name of the publishing company was "Digital Webbing Presents" instead of "Press" because I put the title up on the comic's top bar.

Hellboy AFTER Monster Mash would be best so it doesn't cause confusion on whether it's a Hellboy comic but instead a forum collaboration featuring Hellboy, if that makes sense.

I think I might take a shot at putting something together if no one minds? I have a few ideas after reading Ed's input...

anyone can do anything...multiple options are great. and we can all decide which way will be best.

just remember everyone...we are waiting on cover ART as well.

MONSTER MASH
A FAN FICTION ANTHOLOGY
Featuring: HELLBOY

By members of the Digital Webbing Forums.

Here is a cover idea based on Scribbly's wording - for condideration.

see that looks kinda cool

I’m wondering if we shouldn’t use the official HB logo. I’d bet Mignola has that trademarked.

Definitely trademarked. And it makes it look too legitimate. Since it isn't..... would be safer to remove.

Try that with a Disney logo.....cease and desist letter

yeah...so...anyone want to/able to design a NEW hellboy logo of some type?

I think if we just get rid of the "TM" next to Hellboy logo we should be fine; that'd make it clear it isn't our trademark and the "Fanfiction Anthology" part clarifies that it is an unofficial creation.

Throw that edit in and IMO Robert's new version works.

Ummmm, no. That isn’t how trademark works. Removing the “tm” doesn’t remove the trademark on the logo. We should just have Hellboy in the same font as the “Fanfiction anthology” text.

Looking at it from a strictly copyright/trademark point of view, I think we're going to be safer keeping the title Hellboy in a pretty simple, straightforward font, maybe something heavy like Impact, but pretty plain, that way there can be no misinterpretation that you're trying to highjack the character or the logo. Copyright laws are tough and flirting them, especially when you're dealing with "publishing" something on the Internet, is a tricky business. I think we'd be safe with the black, yellow and red color scheme, but font-wise, I'd play it straight. Just my two cents worth...

OK Make your font pick,
