I have gotten a thought in my head, that it would be cool to have some PFS swag. Like a baseball cap with the Society logo, or a carry-all bag or something. It would be cool to give some of this away for free, as a thank you to people I think are cool and have benefitted PFS.

And so I read up on the Community Use Policy, and I'm a little confused.

How would I put the Community Use notification in plain view on a baseball cap?

Is this why the only Pathfinder loot on Cafe Press is the Bay-Area stuff?

If it's what I think you're getting at, the pfs images/logo's are proprietary and as such must be the product of the company owning the IP. The CUP is there to identify that a person is utilizing someone else's IP. If Paizo were to produce the product, it wouldnt need the CUP.....

I'm not asking Paizo to produce anything. I would like to take the Community Use Pathfinder Society logo, take it to one of the baseball cap "put your logo here" stands, and have them make me a PFS cap. And then a half dozen more, to hand out to local PFS GMs.

I think, if I remember correctly, that a couple of years back someone made dice bags or something similar using the faction logos (Taldor, Andoran, and so on) and asked about the CUP. I believe what they were told that as long as they hand out a paper which had the CUP printed on it with every item, they were okay; the CUP didn't need to be printed on the inside of the dice bag or anything.

I can't find the thread where that conversation took place, though, so please don't act on my memory of a discussion. :)

I don't know if the logos are "community use", though - usually logos are trademarks. Faction symbols are community use.

Hi, Scott.

Paizo has made available a couple of collections of Community Use graphics. One of those packages is called "logos". It includes to versions (a .jpeg and a .gif) of the current "Pathfinder Society" logo, the red-letters-on-brown-with-the-sigil-of-the-open-road.

That's what I'd like to use.

TheCommunity Use page includes instructions that the long paragraph of documentation has to be in plain view on anything that uses the logo. Now, I'm imagining that Paizo had publications in mind when they wrote that. I want to know what I need to do, to put that logo on a half-dozen baseball caps.

Oh, Bam! Look who's good at remembering things! This guy!

(Sorry, I'm more excited about that than I probably should be.)
