A friend who recently watched one of TJ Lubinsky's My Music specials on PBS sent me a screen cap after seeing one of the logos at the beginning of it. The friend is one of my few who's never watched DS but she is familiar with the image in the logo, and that's why she sent the screen cap. She has no idea that a certain someone who's involved with TJ Lubinsky's My Music is also involved with DS, though most of us are well aware of that fact. And I've often seen the person in question's name in the credits, as I'm sure many of us have. But I've never seen this logo, though a visit to the entity's Facebook page would seem to indicate that the logo has been in existence since April, 2016. But anyway, imagine my surprise when I saw the image used in the logo:

Logo

Fascinating, no?

Now, I should point out that I couldn't find the name of the person in question on the entity's Web site or Facebook page. But please, who else would be using such an image for their logo? Plus, it's also interesting that the latest post on the Facebook page heralds a "big announcement coming soon!" - but that was posted back on October 17th - and nothing has been posted since. Such circumstances are certainly standard operating procedure when it comes to how that person often operates in the DS universe: Tease a big announcement that quite possibly never materializes - and even if it does, it often seems to fall short of what most would consider big. So there's even more circumstantial evidence that the entity belongs to the person in question.  [santa_wink]

If someone else were to use that logo, you know who would probably send them a ceast and desist notice about copyright infringement. [8_2_87]

Who's the certain someone you keep referring to?  I tried looking this up to see if I'd get a hint, and it turns out that the name is TJ Lubinsky and that he's in Pittsburgh!

As I said, TJ Lubinsky is behind all the My Music specials on PBS. He has his own entity: TJL. I believe the person behind Treasury Collection is someone else entirely, especially given that person's association with Mr. Lubinsky, and particularly given the image in its logo, which would seem to be a huge tip off to the person's identity...

Well, it's clearly someone related to DS, but is there a reason for not mentioning the specific identity?

Only because I don't have 101% proof that it is the person in question, just powerful circumstantial evidence...

Hahahaha!

Maybe it will help those who haven't figured out what you're hinting at to mention that a popular neighborhood in the Boston area is known by the initials JP (standing for Jamaica Plain, in that instance).

cheers!

I'm picturing a scene from Night of the Living Dead, where some guy is cowering in his house, a DS image on his computer, and JP and his army of lawyers, in suits and brandishing briefcases, are pounding on the boarded up doors and windows, moaning:  "Sue...sue...SUE!!!

LOL!!

I sort of assumed that's who you were going for, but I'm not as familiar with him as some here and didn't know if there might be someone else.

Mayhap you're right! Probably a better guess than mine, which was Jonathan Phrid.

Well, since there is no mention of Dark Shadows and it's actually a sketch of Sea View Terrace, it would seem any rights would belong to the owners of the house the Carey family...not the person whose name rhymes with Tim Fearsome. Lol.
