Custom artwork group buy. US/CAN CARDS MOLD (12 Viewers)

This topic is a great question. If it needs to be moved elsewhere, please do so, and I apologize. As we use closed casino images, sports teams, boat chips, or whatever, how do we research that?

My thinking is, and somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but if the artwork was created by a forum member or vendor here, or is from an open casino or ongoing concern, you can't copy it or use it. You can tribute things, like if you wanted to make some "Areola Star" chips of similar font and color to Aurora Star, but not exact in any way, you're probably ok. The Boardwalks that copied Borgata were WAY too close and that got torpedoed fast, but Bellagio and Aria type chips have often been made without issue.
 
As it relates to artwork created here, and this communities' standards, related to its own artwork, I'll leave that alone as I have no experience.

If we're talking, registered, known trademarks, etc, we see tons of table felt and chips with pro team logos, and obvious interpretations of known emblems, logos, etc. used all the time. Is there an easy way to search that? I looked and couldn't find it.

Laugh if you want, but using images or artwork not in the public domain without permission is theft of intellectual property..... and typically not taken lightly around here.

While I agree, we have a vendor who essentially does this for everyone here...
How is that different?
 
I know that I essentially started this debate by posting photos of a mocked-up hotstamp set, but at the risk of derailing this thread, can the discussion be moved elsewhere, perhaps?

All the businesses that do it here and outside of here are not based in the US and they are not bound by US trademark or copyright. Those have to be registered with that particular country to matter.

...are you saying this is a “community?” Will it be taken more lightly if I get the chips made directly by GPI?:whistle: :whistling:

laugh with us @BGinGA not everything is running tournaments and ruining fun.

So if I'm reading correctly we can use the aces artwork/colors/designa for custom ceramics at ~25 cents a chip?

You can do completely custom any design your heart desires. But yes you can uses the Aces artwork fro free. Cost per chip will end up slightly more including shipping and fees from China.

Which of these three do you guys like better? This would go with my tribute set to my late grandfather, T25 screencap included for reference. Thanks for your opinions!
 
Original deadline was Aug 2nd.
we should probably get updates from those that are fully committed but may run a little late due to designers being backed up.
@SeanGecko May being doing this already but I think anyone running behind Aug 2nd should give us/Sean a heads up.

I know there was a time where certain designers were backed up, but then more became available, right? I'm thinking the vast majority are close to being done. I hope things don't get dragged out too long. It's already a very long process after things are submitted until we get them.

I was under the impression that August 2nd was the date that people needed to commit or decommit to a purchase but that art could take sometime after that. The date was to get a rough order total I think so that @SeanGecko could get some more concrete pricing per chip as well as more accurate shipping quotes because all of those change based on order size. I think you can still make edits to quantities after that as long as you're not like canceling your 20k chip mega custom order or something. I could be entirely wrong though.

I would duplicate your logo from the chip inlay, like the third option, but with the photo and signature. Then put "DEALER" underneath, instead of across the middle. The location is already on the horseshoe. No need to duplicate it underneath. jmo.
 
I will be ordering 325 total chips as a STT set for a gift and accepting @Eloe2000 generous offer to modify Aces artwork for me.
Other than posting my chip total here and working on completing the artwork, is there anything else that I need to do???
Edit: 425 total chips
