How does one even see something like that?

It takes little imagination and lot of time on the internet.

don't you need the security code?

I'm sure the professionals have some way around it.

I tried this too with an Australian Bank (ANZ), and they don't allow copyrighted images OR cartoon characters. :(

I'm pretty sure George disapproves you stealing his ideas for karma.

[–]RockyCoon 1 point2 points ago*

You won't. That image is copyrighted by whoever owns Futurama, etc, and no one wants to be sued.

Why don't you get an artist to draw something like it, but original, and use that? That probably has a better chance of getting approved.

[–]Mopenromy 0 points1 point ago

nope. My original art was denied based on copyright violations. http://i.imgur.com/syHnA.jpg I definitely painted it, but still denied.

[–]KaziArmada 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand why they'd say no to that...that's really cool...

[–]AustinYQM 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I had original and copyrighted art denied multiple times so I just kept resubmitting it till they except it.

[–]liljay2k 0 points1 point ago

Did they ACCEPT it?

[–]AustinYQM 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They did that as well.

Some asshole could say it looks enough like Noface from Spirited Away, or a Menos from Bleach to claim it as IP.
Lawyers are assholes are lawyers.

I recommend loading your image into a paint file and renaming it and saving it as something different. the reason they kept rejecting mine is because the file name could be traced on google which meant i didn't "own the rights to the photo" once i did that they accepted it no problem. [mine is a phoenix coyote logo]

[–]AustinYQM 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They did that to me, six times, for "using copyrighted images" the seventh time they let it through.

[–]DaSeraph 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do you know why? I suspect they don't want you putting the Mastercard logo on there when they will add it.

[–]The_Wumbologist[S] 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I added that for the sake of the thread, actually. Their template has a clear "LOGO GOES HERE". It's probably because Fry is a recognizable character from a copyrighted TV show.

Oh you're right - fear of copyright infringement.

try placing a copyright notice along the bottom of the card.

Did they actually give you a reason or did they just say no?

that is awesome

[–]the_red_scimitar 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, same here. I used a great image from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still. Turned it down because (of course) it wasn't an original image.

[–]Brian_Warner 0 points1 point ago

It's a copyrighted image, the bank doesn't have the right to use it. You will not find a bank that has the capacity to allow you to use copyrighted images that aren't within their own selection.

Shop around, though. Some banks have greater options in terms of images they have bought the rights to. Mine, for example has some pretty sweet Batman/similarly cool options.

Didn't George Takei already design this or something?

[–]junodark 0 points1 point ago

Have you tried putting "I do not claim to own any of these images."? That should clear you of any legal responsibilities, just like the youtubes.

Make it chuck norris's driver license with the tag line this is the real (master card)

[–]eldog -1 points0 points ago

I think they only rejected it because the type would appear where your card number, name and expiration date would be.
