About my design

A true legend. Shigeru miyamoto. Our Hero

clever but it just doesn't look good. even though I know it's miyamoto's face, I can't tell that those are eyes. I don't think I'd wear this but it's easily a five for the idea alone.

oh, and I'd put it on heather gray.

I meant that they don't look like eyes.

i think he's distracted by the fact that the lines connecting them seem to make large empty spaces between the eyebrows and eyes that look like very wrong eyes.

i don't think this is a problem. awesome shirt. 5.

this shirt is awesome, a brillant idea. the eyes are prefect, but it would be really expensive to get nintendos premission to print. they have an insane legal dept.

ahmayzing... but that damn copyright thing. Just give them the design and maybe they'll print it... (nintendo)

Not a copyright issue. The controller doesn't say Nintendo. Shigeru miyamoto's face isn't copyrighted. Just because the controller resembles a Nintendo controller doesn't make it a copyright issue.

Even if it did say "Nintendo," they probably would have little to no interest in a company that is printing less than 500 t-shirts with a reference to 20 year old 8-bit system.

Awesome shirt.

i agree that there would be no legal issue, unless nintendo would be feeling like a prick on that particular day, they might care, even if it is 20 years old have you seen how much they are banking off the retro nintendo name?

You can't even tell this is Miyamoto. Crap design.

No copyright issue here; however, product design _can_ be protected through the IDSA. Nintendo would have had to file for protection at some point and prove that use of the controller imagry is still viably profittable for them. Nintendo is aggressive with protecting their properties through the IDSA but have primarily filed for protecting their characters, not console design.

This shirt might be okay.

it's a nice shirt; the face kind of looks like my friend, who happens to be insane over nintendo. which makes this shirt all the more sweeter =) good work <3

this is absolutely amazing. very well done, and i'd buy it (although preferably on another color - darker). give more choices, possibly?

I'm not sure who Shigeru miyamoto is but I'm down with the old school Nintendo controllers. I'd buy it.
