I have been delinquent with my follow-up on this post regarding Park Board commissioner Ian Robertson’s unauthorized use of the Park Board logo on his webpage. Reader Brent Granby, however, decided to take up the cause, and just posted this comment:
“I spoke with Anita Ho at VPB and she stated that there is no policy on this matter, but only guidelines. I ask her if it was appropriate for a commissioner to have the logo on the their website and she said that it was not. Anita said she would ask Ian to take the logo off the his website. It will be interesting to see if he will compile with the request. I spoke with her on October 5.
Interesting to note as well, the VPB logo is not a register trade mark.
There is a real need for policy work here by the VPB. There needs to be clear policy on the appropriate uses of the logo.”
As of the time of this posting, Robertson hasn’t taken anything down.
Policy first … enforcement later.
Although the German side of my family might disagree!
