Look at that! The new Ugandan carrier Skyjet (well, also the name is familiar!) on uses a logo, that was quite wellknown when this oldie was built. Without any modification and even in the same colours its the Logo of long-gone National Airlines. Not a bad logo, but I wonder if there is still a copyright on it.

Sweet, an ex DL737 with a NA logo. I'm sure the government there plays by their own rules when it comes to trademarks and related.

IF news of this gets to the owners of the old National Airlines "Sun_____" logo, I am sure we will hear of some sort of lawsuit to have it's image use either paid for, or being deleted from the plane.

Mmm. Not necessarily. It would only be an issue if the people who owned the trademark had kept up with its registration by using the mark.
While completely surmising here, it wouldn't surprise me if the now-owners of the National Logo (DL via Pan Am?) hadn't done the proper paperwork to maintain it.

Several airlines have used the logo since the acquisition of NA by PA...most recently, Southeast Airlines.

I doubt that this airline is actually flying. It seems to have been registered to take advantage of the Commonwealth meeting in Kampala last November, but I have not seen this aircraft at EBB nor seen any coverage of Skyjet in the local press.

American carrier Southeast last had the rights to the logo, and they ceased a couple of years earlier. They prob bought it from that bankruptcy. Interesting to see this logo never die, a lot like Pan Am's.

Perhaps they bought the logo? I'd be surprised, but you never know.

In the first photo of the 737 above the logo is backwards. The "face" should be facing forwards. In the fragment of the tail in Reply 12, it looks like it's correct on the left side, assuming the "face" is in the orange half of the logo on both sides. When used by National, the face (also on the orange half) always faced forward on both sides.

Would that be enough to avoid trademark infringement? I'd think not, but......
On the other hand, was a cool sight to see this flash from the past.

Any info on this new airline? Callsign? ICAO/IATA code, if any?
Flying an aeroplane with only a single propeller to keep you in the air. Can you imagine that? -Capt. Picard
