Currently the Greater Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce is using the old “Lehigh Corporation” logo for themselves and according to new documents they have no legal rights to it. Which has been told them many of times over the years.
Now Cherokee Publishing and Media Group, Inc. has trademarked that logo for the protection and the conservation of this logo and artwork for the community of Lehigh Acres.
Cherokee Publishing has asked the Chamber to cease and desist in using the logo and artwork unto a written agreement can been signed.
Cherokee Publishing ownership has stated in the letter to the Chamber, “A fair and equitable contract can be signed at no cost to the Chamber of Commerce.”
A Chamber member stated, “Cherokee Publishing has just blind sighted us and has stolen the Lehigh Acres logo from the people of Lehigh.”
Cherokee Publishing has stated, “Cherokee is trying to act in good faith and protect this logo and artwork for many more years to come.” A representative from Cherokee Publishing stated, “The Chamber could have trademarked the logo years ago and chosen not to do it.”
“If the Chamber could just listen and read and stop reacting negatively, this whole issue could be resolved in 60 seconds,” stated a representative from Cherokee Publishing.
“If the Chamber goes through with it has threaten, Lehigh Acres will have a new logo 100% owned by the Greater Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce. Instead of the Real Identity of this community that our fore fathers wanted to protect for the next 100 years,” stated a representative from Cherokee Publishing.
“The Chamber will be meeting this week and has refused to start up and meaningful dialogue to resolve this small issue in a fair and equitable way”, stated a representative from Cherokee Publishing, “All we want to do is what’s fair and equitable for the future of the logo and artwork”.
Cherokee Publishing will be granting The Lehigh Acres Community Council rights to use the logo and artwork at no cost to the council Monday night at their regular monthly meeting.
I’m wondering about the effect of the sign itself! Due to the poor color choices used during the recent painting project, the bottom part of the sign that welcomes everyone to Lehigh Acres is unreadable.
The sign could be up in “anytown USA” how would anyone know? Whoever took the picture above had to have been pretty close to the sign when it was taken. Am I the only on in Lehigh that notices this?
First we should thank the Kiwanis for painting the sign, Yes the lettering is a little hard to read
