I saw this in a loudspeaker advertisement in The Absolute Sound. The
pictured speakers are about 3 times the length of a violin in height.
The base is about 12" square. They look like a tall elegant column. Not >unlike the Master's TARDIS when it assumed columnar form.
I found it interesting that somewhere out there, is a Dr. Who fan making
a living in the audio business.

They might not be "making a living" for long. If the BBC finds out,
they could potentially be sued.

doesn't include dot characters, just "TARDIS", it could be argued that
it is too close and confusing. / misleading.
There is an audio-visual business here in New Zealand that has been
using an image of a police call box in their advertising for years. You
can see it on their website, especially at the bootom of their home
page: <https://www.avworld.co.nz> There is no mention of Doctor Who, so
the BBC probably can't do anything to stop them using a generic police
call box image ... then again, the UK Police did fail to stop the BBC >trademarking the police call box image. ><https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/oct/23/bbc.broadcasting1>

Well, if the BBC haven't done anything about it in the last 30 years
I'd say they'll get away with it! ;-)

Umm! I don't know IF they were '"making a living" for long' but, as the
post is from June, 1990, I'm guessing if they haven't been caught by
now, they probably don't care!! :-)
Perhaps I should have included that date in my OP!! Oh!! I did!! ;-P
