    Hey,

    I've designed a new logo for my football team and I want to copyright it, can anyone here give me advice on how to go about it?

    Thanks.

    you own copyright once you create it, if you want a trademark thats a different thing

    Does it not need to be registered so I can prove I made it though?
    I just want to make sure other "Saints" wont use it...

    no it doesn't need to be, but you can. If other people use it, a solicitor can help.

    if you want it to stand up in court you do need to register it - otherwise how else do you prove you were first to "create" it

    I'd imagine by showing the original art work, notes, files, notebooks and anything else relevant.

    www.digitalrights.ie is a good source of info ...

    So would the fact that I'd have the original photoshop formats of the file, whereas other would only have jpeg's etc hold up?

    Actually, just realised, I have a sequence of digitally signed emails that show the development and discussion of the logo at several stages from a few months ago. That should be sufficient to prove I designed it.
