I never signed a release for the logo and still haven't they just took it and used it , then sold the gym a few times and still used it. Rather than go back and sue them for it, I renegotiated a deal on it last year for royalties. Who knew it was going to take off like that.
Gold's back then was much different than it is today. It was a laid back atmosphere, no music a few people, some of the best. Always open from 5 am to 11 or so. Joe Gold owned it but most of the time was at the beach playing paddle tennis. So you'd just walk in and train. Sometimes he charged people and many times he didn't. IF you paid by the year, it was $60 and if you didn't have any money, he'd let it slide.
Different world back then.
