Spanish Band Mägo de Oz Threatens Legal Action Over Logo Use
Listen to the story
The Spanish rock band Mägo de Oz has released a public statement about its logo.
The band says two other music projects, called Kabrönes and Zeta, are using the logo without permission.
Both Kabrönes and Zeta include former members of Mägo de Oz.
According to the statement, the logo has appeared on promotional posters for both groups.
Mägo de Oz says this use of its logo and image is not acceptable.
The band is asking for respect for its name and visual identity.
In the statement, the band says it will defend its rights.
It has warned of a possible visit to a special emergency court, known in Spain as the 'juzgado de guardia'.
This kind of court deals with urgent legal matters outside normal working hours.
The warning suggests the band may take legal action soon if the logo keeps appearing.
Mägo de Oz did not give more details about the exact posters or events involved.
The band has long been known for its strong brand and loyal fan base in Spain.
It is not clear how Kabrönes or Zeta have responded to the statement.
The dispute highlights ongoing tension between the band and some of its former members.
This is not the first time bands have fought over names, logos, or images after members leave.
Such conflicts often end up being decided by courts when groups cannot agree.
