Another thread on Licences

I suppose this is only relevant to the PS2/future Xbox users as the PC guys can patch it...

Why can't Konami do what they used to do with sponsors in ISS?

they used proper brands and logos with a slight alteration. Like for example adidas would be adidaz, but at a glance it looks like PROPER adidias! Or could people not live with that? I'm sure I could! I mean I thought it was quite clever on ISS! Plus I'm sure its a lot cheaper and most people wouldn't notice right? I can't find any images of a decent quality to show you though.

Its PES3, cracks me up everytime. There's a few other homo celebrations but I think this is best lol

Any views on the actual thread please?

With licences, you're not allowed to use something that even resembles the unlicenced item. Examples are the fake faces for the Dutch and German players in PES3 and the fake names. They were different enough for them to get away with it. How would you fake a logo in the same way?

i dont consider this a big problem.
editing is a lot of fun if you are at least a bit creative you can do the logos and the other stuff by yourself.
besides, there are a lot of examples on evo-web (sorry for advertising a different website, zyg ;-) ) of logos and badges.
