This is butty Cygnus being given some more shading at Stoke Bruerne in June 2011 (more photos here).
Now I've had an idea for Jubilee. I think I'd like to recreate the logo of Jubilee hose clips. But would they give me permission? Their website has this warning:
Jubilee® is a registered trade mark of L Robinson & Co (Gillingham) Limited.

So I dare not even reproduce the logo here.
Did Steve get permission from Brasso to reproduce their artwork on his boat?
Jubilee is still a blank canvas.

Having a blank canvas has good and bad sides. The good is that you can do whatever you like (copyright permitting); the bad is that you have too much choice. that can made it hard to come to a decision!
We still need to get our name "One Thing After Another" onto our boat too. I feel like it isn't completed properly until the name is on!
You could always ask the signwriter to make the clip a left hand thread, that may get around it as I haven't come across a left hand threaded Jubilee clip, otherwise don't worry, I bet the Queen didn't ask before she had a Jubilee.
Val, at least we've decided on the name.
OTAA, I agree. Being used by marina-dwellers as it is at the moment it's not so bad, but when we start cruising on it that's when the boat will need an identity.
Ray, that's a nice idea. Would it stand scrutiny in court, though?
Further to which, L. Robinson's small print appears to rule out modification.
Get it wrong and you would get more than a "clip" round the ear.
Why not ask them for permission? Companies like that often have a sense of humour, and may even quite like the idea.
