Do you mean on the List . Press HOME Key and you will see it is on the list at the top of the WiKi ? Do you mean Lego Brand in Facer ? Lego itself is a Powerful brand . I know others have used the word to describe the construction of Facer Basics Work . I just had a Face taken down . I have had them reinstated but never any reason for the take down . BOT BRAIN FART .

Facer email never says reason for take down. And lego is the only word in the title which i though might be reason. Maybe Marvin has not finished their work yet!

Its not worth fussing over. I have had a few watches taken down, but as long as you have a draft copy you can continue to enjoy them, but not share them. Its just a program scanning watch faces for text and images afterall.

I had a previous face taken down for the
Call of Duty Strike . I that case used the Commercial name , WATCHY even though the Project is open Source . Fuck all to do with Call of Duty . Facer Reinstated it to my Drafts which I have never had before . But gave no Reason .

It is a bummer that they do not help you when you have an issue. I am getting cut-and-paste responses. I have the deal where a previously approved watch face got smacked down on an update. I did have a trademark issue, but it was with the Yellowstone NP ironically. I changed it to ā€œYellowstone Riverā€ and it still got smacked down.

Thanks for your help and advice here russelcresser. Your posts here have helped me with issues along the way.

Yeah . Something like Oyster Dinner will get a face taken down . The bot will see Oyster and take it down . Context is irrelevant . Updating a face will mean it has to pass the new test despite passing it previousy .

The English word ā€œCODEā€ is also a no go zone. If you say colour code in your explanation - bang - it gets pulled!

Yeah . I think it is on the List .

I had this design pulled twice tonight for infringement on an Omega! There isnā€™t even an Omega that closely resembles this. I changed the wording the second time but to no avail. This is entirely my own design. What do you guys think?

Well if it is Published now you are OK . But Ivwonder if the word Pilot draws attention like the word Navigate .

Yes, frustrating such thingsā€¦

I only know of an Omega Speedmaster Pilot - a bit far fetched to be taken down by the word Pilot

Would be weird, because @nussa2 has many watch faces called Pilotā€¦

No itā€™s not published. It was pulled the second time also. Iā€™ve got the word Pilot in many of my designs. That canā€™t be it. There is no Omega that even resembles my design, not even the colours. I really donā€™t know anymore. This is getting out of hand. I can understand direct copies or replicas of existing brands, which many people get away with, but this is my own design for heavenā€™s sake. I just donā€™t know anymore.

I also have the word pilot in some of my designs. That canā€™t be it. Iā€™ll just have to wait for their reply and see what they say.

Yes. Sorry . I hsve published Faces using thexword pilot and they weere representations . I Googled Avante Watch and there are a good few that have a similar name .

I had one removed because I used ā€Barbie Pink" in the description of a of a pink colored watchface that had nothing to do with Barbie. I got it returned on appeal and removed the word Barbie from the description.
