Ordered one though i think it may not get made. How close to copyright infringement is this image?

How long did it take from submitting the design to getting an email?
-
About 12 hours, I'd say.
-
Ah cool. Was worried it hadn't worked as didn't get an email straight away :)
-
Just had my order confirmed! Thanks for sharing the link, most appreciated :)

How come??

No idea, its an outline of a famous superhero, though it doesnt show him, nor has any copyright!
Ive edited a lambo picture to remove any badging and tried that. Issue is it take 12 hours + to reply, so if it fails im screwed :angry:

I suspect that one will fail as well. The outline still forms part of the design as it'll still be recognisable, which I think would be in breach of the copyright. Having a look on the net a lot of people are getting their images rejected, so I guess they're being super tight.
Both the ones I did for me and my wife were accepted though, so happy times :)
-
What have people used as an image?
-
I used this one for mine (my photo of my car)

I called the image 'my-car' :grin:
-
I used this image of me

Does it not say staff? Or am I reading it wrong?

thats what i thought...
-
It's clearly a link intended for staff and their friends, but there seems to be no method of validation and all seems to work.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's meant to be a viral thing to get interest before they start charging for it. I've certainly seen the link posted in a few places now.
-

It does but it worked fine for me :cool:
-
Done it as well. Got it for free too :cool:
-

-
Got mine too :cool:

Is that Batman taking it from the Silver Surfer?
:huh:
-
:undecided:
I got a call as i complained. They may still launch this as a free service. I also asked them to give more info in the return mail if a picture fails. They will fail it if it looks professional as they will presume you nicked it off the net.
So if you have any 'normal' pics of cars etc they will be fine as they will presume its yours.
-
I just sent a request for one, not bothered if it's £6.50 or not. Worth it if they accept the picture of Myla on the card :smiley:
-
got mine today.. looks great :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
Anyone fancy upping some pics for us?
Appreciate it will be 50% blur for security but gives us an idea :smiley:
-
If you cant blur them just send the images to me, I will do it for you

Oops. Well just blank it out with permanent marker. Bank details and car reg. Won't be too difficult to find out everything about you.

hmm may try to find a way to remove the ink off the card so that it just has a blank reg. remember in school i had a swipe card and in my pic i looked stupid so put some water on and left it on window for a few days and it took all the colour out so may try that :D
