The Nebraska Czechs of Wilber
is now the legal owner of the famous “Czech Dancing Couple” design, as registered March 17, 2010, by the Secretary of
State. This design cannot be used in
advertising, on souvenirs, clothing or any other items in the
future without permission of and arrangements with the Nebraska Czechs of
Wilber. Guide lines and fees for use of the design
by those who wish to use it are being worked out by a committee of the
Czechs.
The “Czech Dancing Couple”, which has
become a national symbol of the Wilber Czechs, was created for the organization
in 1962 by Elizabeth Zikmund, the artist who created so many great and authentic
Czech designs for the organization. Since her death, her daughters gave the Wilber Czechs the right to own and register the design.
The design
was officially registered at the expense of Joe and Kathy Vosoba
and donated to the Wilber Czechs. They also registered and donated the trade
names “Wilber Czech Beer”, “Nebraska Czech Beer”, “Czech Beer Brewed In Wilber”
and “Cesky Pivo”.
