Re: Simpsons themed chips?
Well here are your playing cards. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I thought I had seen a poker set but was thinking of the South Park Set. Funny to think about but just not that big a fan to go thru the trouble... cooler designs/themes to be done IMHO. Fun for mock ups though so post some [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] - Fins |

Re: Simpsons themed chips?
First step would be to get a lawyer and get the neccesary licensing clearance from whomever owns the Simpsons brand.. possibly Fox, otherwise you are just opening yourself up to a huge legal mess with copyright infringement and illegal use of intellectual property.
having worked with several companies that manufactured several licensed brands, including Simpsons, I can tell you that they do not take these things very lightly. Just a word of warning. On the other sie, a Simpsons set could bevery cool. |

You might have a problem convincing the chip company to print them, but if you can then you'll be fine. You think Fox is gonna care if a self-designed chipset is out in the world? When I was in middleschool, I used to doodle pictures of Bart Simpson. I never had to do hard time. -Sam |

Re: Simpsons themed chips?
Not as absurd as you might think. My sister worked for USAir a few years back. She designed some sweatshirts with their logo on it for the softball team, using a local craft shop to make them. The craft shop got fined for copyright infringement, my sister got fired... YMMV

Re: Simpsons themed chips?
Yea, the problem comes when Company X (say chip company) makes money off of a copyrighted logo etc (selling chips), same as the USair example.
Fox had (still does) a huge problem with websites where you can download simpsons shows. They've shut several down in the past. |

And USAir is now firing employees for making sweatshirts for a softball team? Something doesn't smell right, there. Having said that, I would think you would probably have a hard time getting a chip company to make those chips. Your best bet is to get some Nexgens and find a good label maker (there are some good ones here) who will print these for you. I don't think they would have a problem with the copyright. |

Re: Simpsons themed chips?
This could work! I say the characters should be:
The OJ chip, the Nicole chip, the Jessica chip and the Ashlee chip.... |
