Just curious -- ITKWD Logo Items

homedecor1 — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 19:27:35 GMT

I was watching the repeat on Q2 and I saw now introduced were more ITKWD logo items.

I wonder what % David receives from the sale as I "assume" he has this logo trademarked.

I did get a chuckle though about how one might want to buy a few to "gift" friends who enjoy the show🙄😉

I am certain that the rights to the logo belong to Qurate, not David himself, as he is an employee. He's probably compensated appropriately.

QVC owns the trademark.

I was surprised they were selling. I can't imagine wanting those words in my kitchen.

I don't get it either, but different strokes.

I don't know any Chef Davids personally, so...

The items are not appealing to me, but the concept is really not unusual—there are plenty of "brands" or other things to be a fan of that you can celebrate with items that feature their logos. It's just the same as wearing a jersey from your favorite team, carrying a handbag from a specific line, or displaying designer home decor.

That's true never thought of it that way, as for kitchen items -- I assume it's just like I only will buy Curtis Stone or certain brands.

And as others have said "Q" owns trademark but he gets %.

Thanks😊😊

I always thought G.I.L.I. belonged to Lisa Robertson. Well, its still at QVC and she can't use it.

the first question in my house would be---who is david?? Not a huge fan of that show or the happy dance--now if a portion of the price were to be donated to some charity then I can see it --but I don"t need coffee mugs or spoon rests or t- shirts with his name on it----and of course he is getting $$ for it --but what he does with it is his business----I really don't care---

I have bought some of the David items - not all. They are fun for me. ITKWD is the only Q show I pay attention to online since cancelling TV service to my home.

I love ITKWD, and own his set of 2 mugs in red. I was not aware that he had soooo many new items in inventory; until I read this thread. Time to do some shopping!😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

He has never claimed to be a Chef.

His shows are very popular so QVC is capitalizing on it. They are in the business to make money and apparently this stuff sells so why not? If there wasn't a market for these things, the product line would have died with the coffee mugs.

Every time a logo item is shown on air, a thread like this appears. I am not sure why. Not everything that QVC sells, logo or not, appeals to everyone. They are not something I am interested in, but I have plenty of mugs, shot glasses, and t-shirts with logos on them from places I visit.
