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 isn’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 things…

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 Pilot…

No it’s not published. It was pulled the second time also. I’ve got the word Pilot in many of my designs. That can’t be it. There is no Omega that even resembles my design, not even the colours. I really don’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 heaven’s sake. I just don’t know anymore.

I also have the word pilot in some of my designs. That can’t be it. I’ll just have to wait for their reply and see what they say.

Yes. Sorry . I have published Faces using the word Pilot and they were 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.
