  1. I am designing a geocoin and I need to know, If I own a christmas ornament of a Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey, and I take a picture of it to use on the front of my geocoin, is that considered copyright infringement? I know the ship is, but since it is my picture would that ok it?
  2. Could I buy a 1701eh Memorial Coin from anybody?
  3. I am more than likely going to redo this coin with a picture of a Klingon Bird of Prey. That way it keeps its sci-theme, but it won't infringe upon copyrights because i am going to use a picture of a christmas ornament I have, which is my own picture. I will also be removing the space the final frontier saying. It will be a day or two until I make my new post. This will give me time to Photoshop a good quality image showing exactly what I want the coin to look like, I will also try to get a price quote and type of coin etc. so you know what to expect. Thanks, Legofreak
  4. No, I'm from Minnesota, but all I was planning on doing was 4 of my favorite parks, and some people may like my design better also, but I'll see what the response is.
  5. Wow, looked at his and they are more pro looking than mine thats for sure, but I am brand new at this also. So should I continue this design or not? I think I will see how it turns out overnight with what people think and go from there.
  6. Here you go everybody! I am still waiting for approval for this design but otherwise there shouldn't be any significant changes. I decided to do a 4 coin set on what I think are some of Americas most beautiful National Parks. The first coin is this, Crater Lake National Park Geocoin. I do not yet have any information on it yet as this is my first coin, but as soon as it is approved I will talk to a minter and get some price quotes. Email me if you are interested so I have a tentative amount of what to order. If I don't get enough interest in this then I won't go through with it becuase of various budget issues I am confronted with. This coin will be trackable. Any suggestions welcome. I will only except paypal for payment if this design goes through. Design approved for tracking!
  7. If Viacom doesn't reply then I will remove, Space, The final Frontier and replace it with something else and mint the coin I think. Since I would only mint at least 100, maybe 250 so I can name it and have a custom Icon, I don't think I would get in much trouble, I could also sell it so I don't make a profit, then I won't even be making money off of it.
  8. Send an email to landsharkz ... they did a coin with an Enterprise on it (you can see one that my nephew and I have been dipping here). Maybe they can give you some tips.

  9. As I look through some of the other threads, it would seem that if you change things just enough (nine points) it can resemble what you want it to, but still be different enough to pursue. I don't think you can copyright a phrase ("Space, the final frontier") but you can rearrnage the orientation of the stars and slightly change the sidebar leaf clusters. Of course we still don't know what your other side looks like. Where in the world do you ask corporations for copyright permissions? I have tried finding a link to ask Paramount Pictures about obtaining permission but I can't find it. Also if I used my own picture would that be ok? I have a model of the U.S.S Enterprise and I could take a picture of that to use, but since Enterprise is copyrighted that might not work.
  10. Here is the front of the Star Trek geocoin I am designing. I am still working on getting the back approved. I don't know yet if I will mint this because of budget issues, but if I can get enough people to preorder then I will mint it and make it trackable. If this becomes popular it will be coin 1 of a 4 coin Star Trek series. Please let me know what you think.
