Logos

Hi - Thanks for inserting new logos into articles.

A few comments:

Northern Engineering Industries: Your logo for Northern Engineering Industries looks very different from the original logo already in the article: the original used white script with a black edge to the white letters (see the existing logo which was taken from a brochure). It certainly was not blue.

BICC: BICC had a black background to the lettering: again please see the original logo already in the article which was taken from a photograph and is accurate.

BET: BET latterly had a blue background: see Rentokil (1996) although your version is close enough to be used.

BSA: BSA was normally yellow with a black background: see BSA Small Heath or showed brown guns with a yellow background and a red border: see Allen Motorsports I don't believe it was ever blue.

I think these just need a bit more work or they will mislead the reader.

Hi Dormskirk, thanks for your comments,that logo your messenger mentioned was made or embellished by myself, so I admit it perhaps not 100% accurate, but the BICC logo is from a official website: http://www.bicon-uk.com/about-BICON/ At last please excuse my pool English, Best wishes~

Thanks. http://www.bicon-uk.com/about-BICON/ refers to a company called Bicon. Bicon has nothing to do with the former FTSE 100 company British Insulated Callender's Cables: I am afraid that you have confused two different companies. On reading the article it looks as if some employees left British Insulated Callender's Cables to form Bicon and tried to use a similar logo. This is called passing off in British law and is illegal. I think you have may have also got the wrong "NEI" in the case of Northern Engineering Industries. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 10:00, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have now used a much better NEI logo - well done! Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 10:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
