CONGRATULATIONS TO ACID LOGO COMPETITION WINNER CHASING THREADS!

Anti-Copying in Design is delighted to announce that Em Royston, designer, creator and owner of Chasing Threads, is the winner of the recent ACID Logo Competition – designed to raise awareness about the importance of high-profile ways of displaying the “Member of Anti Copying in Design” logo.

The ACID logo aims to communicate a powerful an anti-copying message to all, through the strong ACID brand of deterrence against theft and Em rose to the challenge by designing and making her fantastic, customised laptop sleeve – stitched with her interpretation of the “Member of ACID” logo that she proudly displays on her website as a show of force against copying.

A delighted Em Royston, said: ‘NOT Entering the ACID logo competition wasn’t an option having used so many of the membership benefits over the last few months, after discovering copies of my products. The Intellectual Property I create is so important and my hand-stitched logo is a visual representation of the time and effort it takes to protect original ideas. I will be proudly displaying this image on my website and hope it will act as a deterrent for future design theft.‘

Em was recently featured in an ACID member focus here. No stranger to her innovative designs being ripped off, we also shared information about a successful takedown of a knock-off design on Etsy here. Sadly, Em’s copying issues are ongoing, with ACID CEO, Dids Macdonald intervening in an open letter to Hekaytnoon.com over clear copying of Em’s products. The letter from Dids can be viewed here, along with our recent news story on our News desk.

CEO Dids Macdonald, OBE said, “Em is one of hundreds of small creative companies continually copied so we are absolutely committed to working closely with her to help resolve her ongoing dispute and will post future updates as and when they occur. I want to reach out to design creatives everywhere to support her in this latest battle”.
