As a creative designer this is something that unfortunately happens more often than it should. You spend hours, days and weeks sometimes putting designs, logos, merchandise, etc. together for someone to turn around, steal them and claim them as their own.
As many know, my Husband and I founded, created and ran an entire flag football league from scratch in 2022 and beginning of 2023 until being forced out. With that came the nine logos of the league (first photo) that were owned, designed and created by CCJ Creations along with numerous hours on top of that creating an entire league. Eight of those nine logos have been stolen and used in another logo created by this organization (second photo). Some of those logos are copyrighted and although as a business this is done to prevent something like this from happening, there are still those who find it upon themselves to steal and claim something as their own.
After fighting nonstop with the leaders of this organization, being removed as a sponsor (while stealing my logos and designs) and continuous intimidation in regards to my children playing in the league and my Husband coaching this sport that they love, I am tired of fighting. I will no longer be promoting, selling merchandise or having anything to do with this organization in regards to my business. With all that, all UQA merchandise, designs, etc have been removed from my website and will no longer be used by this organization.
I truly appreciate all those who have reached out to myself and my family through all of this and truly appreciate all your support and kindness. It means more than you will ever know.
