*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

Great that they started on the lantern. Let’s see if they can do magic on it and with clever ideas make it even better than the prototype!

Ahead of a poll: I like “BLF Lantern” (if ever a new version is made people will be inventive enough to think of a follow-up name)

I too like “BLF Lantern.”

+1 BLF Lantern

Yeah BLF Lantern

BLF Pharos.

Interested in two lanterns.

So BLF LT is not an option any longer? The logo for it was nice and simple.

im in if not too late

ada_potato added at number 910 and 911 on the interest list

bjs55 added at number 912 on the interest list. Definitely not too late.

DBSAR, I just emailed you an updated interest list through number 912. Hope you are having a great trip!

?? That is not said anywhere, in fact Den suggested a poll for the name.

If you look at DBSAR’s post, the bold portion implies that a different name is desired, which is why I asked for clarification:

How about BLT Lighthouse? BLT LH.

Barry suggested some changes to the name & logo if possible as it is closely resembles the logo on the GT which was done by Lumintop ( a different factory than the Q8 and lantern projects.

BLF Moonlight Dreadnaught :slight_smile:

I see, I missed that. Well, at least I hope that the lantern pic makes it into the design, I liked that.

There should’nt be a problem using LT unless GT has a patent on the “T” :disappointed: …… Thinking it would be a problem is just more PC BS run amuck!

I think its more the shape of the logo border & design that resembles the GT one.

I think we should see if the guy who made the logo (can’t recall his username) could make some revisions. I liked it most out of all the names that have been pitched.

If Barry and Sofirn want to be sensitive to another manufacturer, I think that’s okay. We don’t want to stir up trouble for no reason. Lumintop made the GT, so their brand is associated with it. Sometimes it’s better to back off a little and compromise rather than hurt your relationship. We do want these manufacturers to continue working with us, after all.

But, I think a reminder isn’t too out of place here. The BLF GT is “ours” not Lumintop’s. It was a BLF design before we even had a manufacturer on board to make it. The name and logo therefore are “ours” as well. It was designed here along with several others, and there was a poll to choose which one would go on the light. So, we’re really not outside of our rights using it if that is what people decide they want to go with. I guess the real consideration would be whether the BLF GT Team, or “Team Giggles” as they’ve called themselves, would be okay with this project using a similar logo.

good points.
