LogoScopic Studio

Pros: Wonderful data elements for graphic art. Easy to use. Exciting possibilities. Reasonable price. So much potential to be useful to small businesses. No professional training required.

Cons: We loved making logos and graphic art with the Roadrocks products but all the designs were removed from the Roadrocks database where they are stored. We lost millions of dollars in original graphic art that we could never possess again.

We tried everything to control our assets, but updates removed our content. When we discovered that downloading the images was not the solution to intellectual property ownership we contacted Roadrocks by email. They ignored us and continued to steal our creations.

The ability to create amazing proprietary graphics art was great and Roadrocks made it easy and fun, but at the end of the project, everything can only be created with an open channel to Roadrocks. During the updates functions like creating colored backgrounds disappeared. The app doesn’t work offline, so you cannot create an original and save it and delete it without Roadrocks having access and control.

Perhaps they see your work as a User Collaboration rather than a protected piece of Intellectual Property. You pay to participate, not to own.

We miss the hundreds of graphic art pieces that disappeared from the app and weren’t saved onto our database. Roadrocks refuses to address our loss and we are sad that such a great graphic arts software app is being used to appropriate the energy and creativity of Roadrocks Users without the User knowing and understanding what is at risk when using a Roadrocks product.

Even if the Roadrocks owners put the way they control your work in the Trrms and Conditions it isn’t clear to the Reader that all their work is slavery to Roadrocks as the only compensation is you pay the fee and you do the work.

The images never belong to you. You collaborate with the Roadrocks Intellectual Property and they own and control the final project. You are merely a Human Collaborator.

Old fashioned graphic arts creations used elements created by others to create stenciled letters and collaged images, but the sign, logo, advertising art belonged to the Graphic Artist, not the stencil makers or drawers, painters, or photographers that contributed to the final product.

Roadrocks is taking advantage of undone Antitrust Laws and other Consumer Protection Agencies by stealing effort from Graphic Artists and using that labor to own a database of priceless art.

Overall: Somebody should do a better job and be satisfied with providing tools and not exploiting the users. So much of my company art was stolen and so much time with an open channel to Roadrocks servers is unnecessarily required that we gave a lot more than we got.
