TDG Banner

TDG Logo and Swag


I am releasing the copyright of the TDG logo to the world's TDG supporters.

TDG supporters are allowed to download the logo file and create whatever promotional activities they want. Permission and royalties are not required.

Here is a list of how the logo can be used:
  • Posters
  • Flyers
  • Signs
  • Billboards
  • Doorknockers, to invite neighbors to an "alternative democracy" meeting.
  • Newspaper ads
  • Internet banners and memes
  • TV commercials
  • T-shirts and other clothing
  • SWAG: coffee cups, pens, stationary, whatever

Here's my one rule for using the TDG logo:

If a TDG supporter charges money for their TDG productions, I would like them to donate 5% of gross sales to the TDG.

TDG Door Knocker

Here is an example of how to use the TDG logo. This is a door knocker that you can invite neighbors to your first TDG meeting. You might be able to create your own door knockers on your home computer. Or a print shop can set this up for you.

Attending Protests

If you are attending protests, create a brochure about the TDG. Use the TDG logo. Use your own words that encourage protesters to visit the TDG website after the protest.

Set up posters to the same effect.

 
 

Monetized Promotions

 
There are some projects that will need some financial incentive to help move the TDG forward. I am allowing people to use the TDG logo and concept on bigger projects and monetize that work.

  • TDG videos and animations
  • Create podcast interviews with Dave talking about the TDG. Arrange for an online interview.
  • Create short stories, plays, and music about building a new democracy.
  • Translate the TDG books and TDG blog articles into different languages. Set up websites with advertising or subscriptions. Create non-English ebooks for retail sale.


Remember, my basic rule: 5% of the gross sales goes to a local charity or local TDG.

Exemptions: While the three TDG novels can be translated, I will retain the movie and documentary rights. This could change later.

Remember, you need neither my permission nor a revenue-sharing agreement from me. Just go ahead and promote the TDG in your own way. If you make a little money, paying the 5% to a local charity or TDG is all I ask from you.
