I just found it amusing that I have a book (of the most seminal works of fiction of the last century) on my bookshelf with a reasonable facsimile of Greenies Logo on it. If I had an established logo like greenguy, I think I'd collect everything with a similar logo as a hobby. Maybe its old news, but I claim ignorance of knowledge I dont posses.

My compilation was first published in 1986 (although the book HHGG was published earlier), my edition is from 1987. I just thought Greenie might want to see the logo on one of the coolest books ever written. If a logo similar to mine was on a book by Douglas Adams, I'd be tickled pink.

Honestly, I don't understand what you are getting at.

Was the internet around in 1986? Was Greenie's domain registered then? Which logo do you think came first? And which is a tribute?

It started off as a radio serial in the late 1970's (1977 I think, but I am not certain). It got adapted into a TV series in the very early 1980s (1981 I think, but again not 100% certain), and was novelised after that.

However the important dates are when that logo was first used. I have been following it since near the start but have not seen the Greenguy logo on it before that picture was posted.

I think the point someone is making is that if GG was using the logo first, then the estate of Douglas Adams owes him a lot in royalties, but if it appeared on the book first then GG owes them a lot of money

amadman · 2009-04-26, 10:25 AM

Yeah.. this has come up a few times..

I have just figured that gg must be a fan

Greenguy · 2009-04-26, 10:43 AM

Personally, I prefer the Dirk Gently books

I wasnt thinking in those terms. GG has been around since the late nineties that I know of (because I posted free sites to him back then) using the same trademark/logo. If there were any issues regarding the use of the image I'm sure they would be worked out by now.

Greenie, if this caused you any grief or if its a sore matter, my humblest apologies. That was the opposite of what I intended.
