大家好,这里是YG ent.
首先感谢大家给予在去年12月24日发行的‘GD&TOP正规一辑’的厚爱。
GD&TOP专辑的兔子模样LOGO曾在GD&TOP的各种采访中提到过多次,因为概念与兔子模样很契合而使用了兔子耳朵的模样和拳头,代表胜利的V字手指模样组合起来成为了LOGO。
playboy enterprises international Inc.(以下playboy)以兔子模样LOGO作为自己的基本设计。
本社没有获得原本拥有兔子模样LOGO的商标权的playboy的允许,与playboy公司的相关业务也没有任何关系。
因此本社考虑到有可能引起的无谓的混淆以及接到了playboy公司郑重的要求之后,今后不会再使用GD&TOP的兔子模样LOGO,将中断目前正在发售的兔子LOGO的GD&TOP专辑,在7月中开始使用新LOGO作为封面推出NEW COVER Ver.。
也希望大家对将在7月发行的全新封面的GD&TOP正规一辑NEW COVER Ver.(收录歌曲和专辑内容和之前一致)多多关心应援。
谢谢!!

Hello. This is YG Entertainment.
Thank you for giving so much love to the GD&TOP 1st Album that was released last year on December 24th.
The GD&TOP bunny logo was mentioned many times in GD&TOP’s interviews because the logo was designed as an image of a bunny’s ears combined with the victory “V” hand sign, based on the Playboy Enterprises International Inc.’s bunny logo.
However, the company did not receive permission regarding the original bunny logo trademark rights that belongs to Playboy, so it has no association with Playboy’s work.
The company has considered the confusion from the issue and has received a polite request from Playboy Inc., and accordingly, we have decided to no longer use GD&TOP’s bunny logo.
Sales of the GD&TOP album that used the bunny logo will be halted, and the release of a NEW COVER Ver. with a new logo is planned for July.
We ask for everyone’s interest and support for the newly designed GD&TOP 1st Album New COVER Ver. (same content as the existing version) to be released in July.
Thank you!!
