According to a lawsuit filed by Lost International, the company claims that the Bad Romance singer unlawfully replicated their stylized Mayhem logo. The brand, known for its surfboards and merchandise, insists that they have exclusive rights to the design.

Lost International is not just seeking to stop Lady Gaga from using the logo; they are also demanding damages. The surf company is reportedly asking for compensation that includes any profits generated from the Mayhem album’s branding and merchandise. Additionally, they are requesting a court order to block Gaga from further using the logo.
