as Tom pointed out, you won't be able to use the brand name "purist" as Gunn and Moore own the rights to that name.

I hope your distributor isn't called Brimble!

Certainly well produced and the detailing points towards a good designer. But the influences have come from within and should maybe be a little braver. It's true that sometimes it's good to have a little homage to pre existing artwork with little purpose made design cues.

In this instance do they really do enough to separate you from the masses... Place the design not on white paper but on a shelf with many and how is the eye is drawn?

The second design shows the most promise but is a little safe.

This to a point is somewhat irrelevant as the foundation work must be planned and be thorough and Tom has highlighted something fundamental that needs the most attention.

The above design is the best I think, very classy.

Purist is a registered trademark under class 28 in Australia and the UK. GM own it and therefore you may have to license it before using that name, or risk being sued.
So how did Boom Boom release a bat called 'Apex' a while back and Icon Sports Austrlia use 'Icon' from GM and not get in trouble?

Could be true but I don't understand why GM would trademark only some of there names?

Because the legal fees of the trademark process costs a fair amount and there's only value in trademarking some which you're synonymous with, rather than a bat which is there for 2 years and then dropped.

The phrase 'ICON DXM' is trademarked.

I agree, all your stickers look good except for the rectangular white Limited edition sticker, you could make it a clear background with black text...might look better...
