Hello all,
for our next DeTomaso meeting at the Classic Days in Düsseldorf, we would like to have some promotional items produced. For this I need the print files of the different DeTomaso logos and fonts. Can anyone help here?
Please send them to imhoff@gmx.de
Many thanks
Andreas

Hello again,
has no one an idea? Or is it the wrong category?
Thanks Andreas
Hallo Andreas,
I do not think it is in the wrong category. But I do think it is a difficult subject.
I would reach out to POCA (Pantera Owners Club America) for this.

I am so curious to see if the current-day iteration of DeT will pursue trademark defense. It seems to me, based on what I see on EBay that it's essentially open season to make your own De Tomaso branded items and sell them.
On a practical note, let me add that the brand logo is often not reproduced faithfully. The blue is often wrong and the line thickness of the T (cattle brand) is often wrong.
Hello scifi,
the articles I would like to produce are for the presentation of the brand and our fan group. No items are to be sold commercially. Precisely because often the logo and fonts are reproduced incorrectly, I turned to you here to make it right.
Many greetings
Andreas
Andreas,
Yes, I think we should have such rights! Sorry, I can't be more helpful in this regard. Perhaps contacting a print shop or a freelance graphic artist. I suppose either would work through it for a few hours of compensation. Good luck.

Print file to print on paper or some hi-res graphic? It depends how good you are looking to make these (but assume you already know that). You can simply scan it and reproduce it if just simple paper output by creating a PDF file. If you are trying to do high-res stuff, get a graphic artist to convert them to the files they use to output the graphics stuff. My nephew does this stuff professionally and he has all the right SW to do it. I would just find the best image you have like the old DeTomaso letterhead you show above. I am sure POCA has some files as they print a magazine, etc.
If it comes out looking less than perfect, just say you were working in the original style of DeT and keeping with their standards of workmanship. More authentic
Hello all,
thanks for the feedback. I decided to have the logo recreated by a graphic designer and will use the colors of the Argentine national flag.
