Ok. Here is a VERY ROUGH sketch of a design I am working on. It is a parody shirt and it runs on that thin line of copyright infringement. So, is this going to upset the parker brothers or am in the clear? Also please leave comments. Should I keep it sketchy

(obviously more refined, but still sketchy) or would you like to see it more streamlined and polished? Let me know, thanks in advance.



PS Let me know who says more (bored/monotony to you) Guy 1 who is yawning or guy 2 kinda looking dis interested while swinging his cane.

what is with all the copyright-infringing designs lately?

Are there any other opinions as far as the idea/copyright thing.

Thanks

I've read the Threadless rules, and they do allow parodies. I'm not sure what the rules are on logos, but yours is different enough to work.



Can you critique mine?

I think it looks really cool! I think that you should make it a little more refined, but leave it a little sketchy.

I would also use the first idea.



Could you look at mine?

i think the first one is illustrated better, but i like the disinterested cane-spinning idea better.



i think the sketch look works for rich uncle pennybags, but not so much for the rest of the logo.



if you use the yawning one, you should take out the text, if you need to use text to explain what he's doing, then that means you should work on the illustration more; however, i don't think you need either.

If you use the cane spinning i think he should be spinning it from the handle not the other way around. Maybe have him looking at his watch while yawning if you do the other one. Oh and maybe incorporate one or more of the metal pieces from monopoly just to make it a little more playful. Like the horse or dog piece sleeping.

I agree with the yawn text being taken out. I think I will go with the more polished route. Either way of course I need to work on it, remember these are rough sketches. As far as incorporating a metal piece, not a bad thought but I'm not sure how it will fit with the rest of the design. I guess we'll see on the next version.

I love this idea!

I f*cking HATE MONOPOLY!!!

I'll for sure be rooting for this design!
