Video: 'Supreme' Flies Logo Over NYC
In order to celebrate their huge release of highly-anticipated 2011 Fall/Winter items, Supreme took to the skies. Commissioning a plane to pull their classic red box logo all across NYC, Supreme branded the skyline and certainly made some office-bound fans very happy in the process.
After filming the whole endeavor, they edited up the film above, set to “Solstice” by Brian Bennett – a track most easily recognizable to hip hop fans as the sample off of Nas’ “Find Ya Wealth” and Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Friday track “Lord, Lord, Lord.” Definitely worth a watch to get your afternoon started off right.

Business: Jay-Z Gets Sued by Volcom for Roc Nation Logo

Jay-Z and Roc Nation are being sued by Volcom for trademark infringement. The skating brand alleges that the record label's logo too closely resembles the Volcom stone which has been established since 1991.
Cease and desist letters were sent to Roc Nation, but requests were ignored. Volcom has asked that all merchandise with the logo be destroyed and use of the logo to be terminated. We know Hov isn't going down without a fight. We'll see what happens.
UPDATE: RadarOnline has the court documents from the lawsuit.
