Sunn O))) are Peeved That Someone is Aping Their Aped Logo

Even if you’re not a Sunn O))) fan, you’re probably familiar with the band’s logo, which is quite distinctive. The band didn’t design that logo! And I don’t mean the way most bands didn’t design their label but, rather, hired an artist to create something cool for them — I mean Sunn O))) took their name and logo from the Sunn Musical Equipment Company.
And it’s not as though Sunn O))) have tried to hide this fact… indeed, they’d be pretty dumb if they did try to hide this fact, given that, y’know, they’re using someone else’s logo.

I’ve provided this little typographic history lesson so that you understand how odd this is:
Redbubble, “an online marketplace for print on demand products based on user submitted artwork,” has just sent a cease and desist to a MetalSucks reader, Minneapolis’ Tyler B., who sells art on that site under the handle “The Doom Shine.” The cause of the C&D? Apparently, this design…

…is somehow a copyright violation

I suppose it’s also possible that Sunn O))) had nothing to do with this, and someone is just fucking with The Doom Shine. Although Red Bubble does claim to have confirmed that the complaint did, indeed, come from the band’s Stephen O’ Malley.

First off, this is MetalSucks. They have been known to fabricate stories like nobodies business, especially when it centers around one of "their users". Secondly, SOMA could only send a C&D letter if the designs he had pulled were direct copies of something he did before. The logo is irrelevant due to numerous people using it / possibly holding trademarks, and redbubble would not have agreed to the c&d based on that. So I think its that these were sticker designs either commissioned by Sunn a while ago, or created by someone in the band, but possibly never released. I have a hard time believing this story in its entirety as presented. There is vital information purposefully being left out.
