"Arthur Stace's Eternity is part of Sydney's history and has become a true Sydney icon. Therefore, just as the City of Sydney takes action to save heritage buildings from improper uses, so too Eternity deserves to be preserved as a public asset," the Lord Mayor said. "The only way we could do this was under trademark law. I can assure the community that the City of Sydney has absolutely no intention of using Eternity for commercial gain. "We will not stand in the way of any community or legitimate artistic use of the symbol. "As a public authority, representing the people of Sydney, it is important the City takes steps to preserve the integrity of those things which are special to all Sydneysiders. "Sydney Festival-goers will have seen the use of the Eternity script for the set used by visiting gospel singer Shirley Caesar. The City not only provided immediate approval for this use, but assisted Ms Caesar with the necessary artwork," Lord Mayor Sartor said. *** Media contact: Craig Middleton, Office of the Lord Mayor, (+61-2) 9265 9400 or 0419 275 360 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Worldwide Photos Ltd-----mailto:rlgmedia@ozemail.com.au>> The Religious Media Agency - Ramon A.Williams PO Box 494 - Padstow NSW 2211 - AUSTRALIA tel: +61-2-9792-2393 - fax: +61-2-9792-2881 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Telling others, what others are doing for the Lord.
