Giving Steem - donation summary 2

Hm, that's a bit surprizing actually. In your post you state clearly, that the logo of @artwatch is not your choice, probably because it is a bit too complex and not really logo-ish. Therefore you chose a different one. With no word it is mentioned, that the submission of @artwatch is now your property. That was his view as well. It was not claimed by you, so he offers it with his usual terms. Pay a fee and inform him about the utilization. That's what I did. Also, I'm not really using it for @adra. When @adra posts or I post about my work at @adra, I use the ADRA logo. I'm currently using it primarily as my own profile picture, as it reflects perfectly what I'm doing and planning to do with another project. Yes, please have a look into the matter, as I don't necessarily understand your claim.
Edit: Ok, I correct that with not mentioning you won't use the design of @artwatch.

I have sent a message to @artwatch. If you search my wallet history, you'll clearly see a payment to @artwatch 17 days ago with the memo "Agreed additional steem for open use of giving steem submission - thank you." I made an arrangement with @artwatch in good faith and paid for the use of the image despite it not winning the competition. You can clearly see from my posts how I am using them in combination to help create the Giving Steem initiative and I do indeed have every claim.

I'm sure you can understand that someone who ran a competition to commission the work of artists to help build an initiative and paid them all in good faith would feel that it was not appropriate for someone else to co-opt the use of those images? Can you not run your own competition to produce your own images? I appreciate you like the image, that was the idea. I'm sorry this has happened....I don't understand why you would want to use an image that was already in use but I guess you didn't mean any harm.

I was indeed under the impression, that the image was not in use and you only claimed the actuall winning logo. As I liked the image I wanted to give it some good use to not be wasted. That was my mistake. Thanks for the clarification, I will use something else then.

@dinoo I am pretty upset that this has happened, but not with you. Perhaps you could tell me more about the project you wanted to use the image for? If they are aligned closely enough then maybe it can work out. Certainly giving steem to adra is not in alignment but perhaps your new project will be. Anyway, I'm happy to see if you like.

Haha, you will laugh now, actually, well, let's chat about that on steem.chat

Ok great :)

Thanks for the great chat! Everyone happy now : )

Thank you so much for a great chat @dinoo. It was a pleasure to meet you and i'm very excited to help you with your superb idea for helping Steemians to give steem to one and other! It is most fitting for you to use the logo you love, founded as your idea is in the integrity and utility afforded to us by the steem chain. It sounds like progress to me, perfect.
