Reviewing the program outline of the event festivals of the Edinburgh International Comedy Festival, I have noticed that the said organizer has still been using the old Hard Rock logo. As part of the interest for organizational effectiveness and uniformity, I urges the Edinburgh International Comedy along with the other event organizers to employ and use in their program the new and official brand logo of the Hard Rock Café. Please do note that the Hard Rock company has already implemented this new logo and that, under legal jurisdiction the said official insignia must be used in identity of the Hard Rock establishment.
For convenience, please use the following link to acquire the new official logo of the Hard Rock establishment in the company’s website. http://www.hardrock.net.official.logo
In the usage of this new official logo, the said event can be easily promoted thus, we encourage this transition for marketing benefits. Also, expected guests and other invitees can easily identify the venue as the Hard Rock management has already launch and promoted the new logo for market saturation. On matters of not complying to this matter by the 1st of June, the Hard Rock management is inclined to pursue legal action considering this action as a breach of the logo usage agreement between the involved party. As such, we encourage this application.
