I would like to take a moment to thank you for pointing out to me privately and in person my shortcommings! I never claimed to have designed the stuff on the ea logo, I said I created the logo, big difference, the information that I recieved was that I had stolen the logo from another bussiness. I drew a picture and then used poser to create a 3d rendering of what I was looking for. I used files that were given to me by a friend that did NOT come with the disclaimers, all he gave me was a cd with the raw files. There was NEVER any intention of stealing or using the files inapropriatly. If you knew all of this, all you had to do was notify me, but thank you for the public crucifixion, if I can ever return the favor I won't hesitate. I checked up on your claims and found them to be correct, I will be contacting the parties involved to either aquire permision to use them or remove them if requested, not a problem. The whole problem arose when I was told that I had stolen the logo, I did not. I created it in poser, which was the whole reason I purchased the program to begin with, to create the angel, I would never have denied that,as a matter of fact, the original files that I saved are the poser files with thier creation date. I would also like to thank you for taking a private e-mail that was not even sent to you and blasting it in a public forum. Truly, if you had brought the logo stuff to my attention I would have appreciated it, thanked you and taken action, it is called common courtesy. It has been brought to my attention (albiet unprofesionally) at this time and I will take action. Hell I even commented to several associates when I made her that she looked just like Tarna, hence the reason she changed later. The logo has been removed from the page and will be replaced with a new one at a later date. A retraction was also published. Even though I do not condone the method that was used to bring this to my attention, I feel that I must thank you anyways for bringing it to my attention.
