I'm involved in amateur radio; who doesn't have a VSA call sign badge? The QSL card has also arrived.

做好了QSL卡片，顺手定制个VSA呼号印章，之前收到的卡片，多数卡片都有签名呼号章，看了几家做呼号印章的，同时几个前辈也给了建议，最后从BH1VSA老师那定制（收到的卡片大多数都是VSA老师那的章）。

市面上有几个仿制VSA的，不说这些仿品排版精细方面看着视觉舒适度差点意思，最起码抄袭盗版行为还是不支持了。

也有其他原创的，但是针对设计美观度看了一圈还是VSA的正统一些。周围前辈也说VSA设计团队更专业，有国家队设计背景。另外有HAM说VSA制作设备都是工业级，做出来品质和质量比其他作坊强。

其实，就看大多数HAM选择VSA就应该没错，为此果断定制，收到货确实不错，比其他群友定制的廉价货强太多。

It's definitely advertising. VSA is far too expensive; the prices are outrageous. You can find a much better deal by simply contacting a local stamp maker on Taobao. As for those who claim to offer "professional design services" and charge exorbitant fees, it's all just hype. On Taobao, you can provide them with a simple sketch, and they will create a custom stamp for you.

BG8AMG Excuse me, friend in area 8, I don't have the ability to create ads for others. As for choosing who to work with, it really depends on what you think is most beneficial.

I'll make my own radish stamp later.😂

PressThis tutorialI made a few minor changes myself, and then sent the file to a company that makes seals. I also drew my own eyeball seal, which cost less than forty yuan. When it arrived, I found that the 42mm size was a bit too large.😅。
The template in the tutorial seems to resemble the one you posted, but I'm not sure if it's an official design or a copy.

BG6QED To be perfectly clear, I asked, and this is a file that was created based on the VSA design.

This confirms that the advertisement is genuine. VSA's prices are high, and they tend to report on other platforms if they see similar products being used. Some people prefer value for money, while others prefer customization. It seems that this trend of trying to denigrate others in order to promote one's own products has also entered the ham radio community?

yitom

BD8BDT I think you're mistaken. Advertising is a serious business, and we can't afford to be dismissive. While I understand that everyone has their own preferences, I haven't seen any evidence of VSA unfairly targeting others. However, I did see some discussion in the 8th district about someone copying and distributing pirated content. As for you accusing me of "stealing" your work in the 8th district, I find that very strange!

I'm not ready to use a radio yet.

I heard that CRAC has trademarked its logo?

BG2ELG No one has registered; use whatever you like!

Wow, that's quite lively!😁Regarding the issue of counterfeit products, I had previously discussed this with VSA. For a considerable period, VSA's stamp designs were publicly available, allowing anyone to purchase and use them. However, many people produced versions with quality issues, and some individuals used the guise of VSA group purchases to create and sell these products, leading to numerous HAM (presumably "hobbyist airmail") users seeking after-sales support from VSA. Subsequently, VSA frequently received requests for after-sales service from other manufacturers, some of whom could identify the original creator, while others were unable to find where they had purchased the product. This caused significant inconvenience. VSA's own after-sales service was limited, and later, some HAM users believed that VSA's lack of strict management was the root cause. They suggested that VSA should implement copyright protection. Even now, if a HAM wants a specific design for their profile picture or other purposes, they can directly contact VSA to obtain the design for free.

SyryiaThere are several HAMs operating in areas 1, 3, 4, and 7, and VSA isn't the only one. Looking at your provided image, you must have done this before as well? If you want to use original designs, that's fine. Someone will definitely choose them. As for these copies, regardless of which area they are in, the design from layout to individual elements is exactly the same. How can that be considered normal? Why can't other HAMs have their own unique designs when so many people are making call signs? I don't mean to offend anyone, but in Beijing, we value respect and propriety. I also don't need to support anyone, even if someone is doing it in area 1, that's still not acceptable!

yitom 我说的这些盗版甭管几区，图案从排版到字元素一模一样，这还理所应当？那么多做呼号章的为啥别 HAM 能有差异原创？

首先印章的元素无非是正方形或圆形内配以图形和文字，其中最常见的组合有同心圆，同心圆中写以文字，小圆内有图案。其次回过头来看您说的这个印章，是不是符合我上面说的特征呢？以及vsa在作品登记保护附录中的其他设计方案，无非是上述印章的常规变形。因此这个设计我认为并不能称为著作权法意义上的作品，因为只是简单的素材组合，如果硬要说这是一个“作品”，那么这个“作品”也是抄袭得到的，也就是你口中的“盗版”。此外我在互联网上找到了早于vsa登记日期的呼号印章作品，也可以作证我上一条的内容。
并且，你提到的差异原创我也有去看，在我看来真的差别不大，基本是印章领域中常用的手法。所以您讲的这个抄和盗版是我完全不能所认同的，当然我这里也要叠个甲，我不是想冒犯vsa，只是你这个表达确实让人不太舒服

yitom

Syryia That's clever! Blaming the buyer directly for the issue. You can easily find replacement parts for a Rolex in Guangzhou, and it won't cost much at all. There's nothing wrong with that!

yitom

Syryia Indeed, this post seems to have cut off some people's financial opportunities! In particular, those involved in counterfeiting are very upset and react so strongly. Since everyone's identities are public, it seems their behavior is acceptable.
