Hi Alan,

You probably need to contact Magix legal to get permission to advertise Magix products on your site.  My thoughts are that even though you are a Magix fan, they are not likely to give your permission to use the logo, or anything other than providing a link to the Magix site if even that.  You need to understand that companies are very protective about the use of their intellectual property, trade marks, logos, etc.  especially when the lawyers get involved.

If I were you, I would walk away from advertisement for Magix products and just tell people what you use to create your amazing compositions.  If you want to be really nice to Magix, provide a link to their site and leave it at that.

Company legal departments are very focused on their brand, their image, etc.  and since they don't know you they have no idea what you might say or do with their company image.

Just let this one go, and focus on your creativity, building your site, and doing the best that you can to help others download the midi files that you have created.

Alan,

If my memory (Ha!) serves me right, I've seen a Magix page with a selection of their company logos which were to be used as is, no modifications, in your productions. The intent was, as George suggests, simply to say"... what you used to create your amazing composition." This was in reference to movies but I'd assume would apply also to other types of projects. Where, oh where? ...

Regars,

Carl
