My mom just pointed something out. She wonders if a Rubiks cube is copy righted. Does anyone know?

It would be a huge bummer if it is :(

But then again we wouldn't be using the name "Rubiks cube." Could a cube with colored squares on it be copyrighted?

Also, we might need to do something to it so it doesn't just look like we're all wearing Rubik's cubes on our shirts! :lol:

Hey, maybe instead of colored squares on the cube, it could be colored snowflakes forming a cube shape!! !

But that might look too "busy" and complicated. :?

It makes me think of someone holding a Molotov bomb in one hand and a Rubik's cube in the other. lol

For the record, I am the one who said "I like it!! !! It makes me think of someone holding a Molotov bomb in one hand and a Rubik's cube in the other. lol" It was my comment under the photo of the A for Anarchy that Mike1 had posted.
I like the idea of the Rubik's cube with the snowflakes on it, I think that if the design is simple and minimalistic it will look fine.
I am not thrilled about using the colours of the rainbow personally, the rainbow has such strong gay connotations that I think it might confuse people.

We need something violent in order to show the world we mean business, then the autie/aspie children can put the badass logo on their backpacks, and bullies wouldn't mess with them because they know that kid means business.

I have to disagree here!! ! We have enough issues with the media associating us with violance and mass shootings! This will only really hurt us!


We really don't need to support this by having I violent symbol


If anything a violent symbol will make us bigger targets!


And even more

And frankly it will turn autism parents against us, cause them to see us as extremes and shut us out

That's the last thing we need

I don't think violent bad a$$ is a good idea at all. Like ASDogGeek said, it's too much a reminder of what people might think when they relate Autistics to murderers and it might give people an excuse to think that more.

Agree with ASDogGeek, violence is a bad idea. We can still be awesome without having to intimidate people.

Maybe we can use two colors at opposite ends of the color spectrum instead of a whole rainbow so that it won't be confused with gay/lesbian logos.

I like yellow. I think either of those options of 1 or 3 would be great. But for a snowflake, you don't want to eat yellow snow! :p Yellow won't be good for a snowflake if we end up using that because yellow snow usually means a dog pee'd on it.

What about a blue snowflake??
