As you guys may know, I designed a T-shirt that was submitted to Blipshift. It looked like this, but the equation was changed to be more simple.

What worries me is the word "Nissan." That's obviously trademarked/copyrighted. Would that disqualify the design from consideration? And if so, what would you recommend I put there instead?

I doubt it would cause trouble.

Kinja'd!!!

They did this no problem.

Phew. It's certainly my best idea so far.

I don't get it. Please explain?

Nissan could sue you for trademark infringement as you or blipshift will receive profit from the design. You'd be totally OK under "fair use" if you didn't charge money for it.

now, Blipshift often skirt trademark infringement... probably on the risk that they sell such low volume it's not worth the Trademark owner lawyering up further than sending a C&D notice.

Fingers crossed. It needs to be selected first anyways.

yeah, I can't think of anything else to put there or it will spoil the design, you'd have too many people asking if it was a rocket ship

solution: Put the delta symbol and a wing.

What is the variable T? I'm assuming m is mass.

In this equation it's thrust. However, I changed the equation to |final velocity - initial velocity|. The origjnal equation was probably too complex.

as in you took out the integral? If you want a middle ground you could do delta v in terms of acceleration and time.

I used the most simple formula for delta v, as in "delta v= change in velocity". Obviously I put it in the equation form.
