EVE General Discussion

Did you open a support ticket or tried contacting their license department?

Try a support ticket. I also have not contacted a company about using their images. The fm should be able to send you to the right person. I only see an email for the developers department.

Personaly I think CCP allows it asking as your not profiting from it. You may have to comb through the EULA. How about putting a copyright symbol and CCP next to it in the bottom corner. ©CCP

Lol been looking at it for like 10minutes now trying to figure that out. This is try in most cases but my painters just want a sure thats fine due to the US having some pretty big laws on this kind of stuff as well as doing events such as desert events they feels I should have some kind of permission to put this kind of project on my bike. If I can get a helmet painted then I am happy but if I can get a full okay then I might deck the whole Bike out and do a full paint job. but this will depend to CCP. I can see if I can paint a CCP logo but how big would it need to be and where. not a lot of room on the little helmet lol. I might be able to put a CCP tag on the inside in the back or next to the instructions. I wanted to do my Boulevard this way but figured it might look cooler on the KLR being I will be on that one more. man this is more complicated then I thought or I am over thinking it lol.

This depends.

Back in the day, around 2005 I wanted to make a bumper sticker just for myself. I had no intentions of selling it, and I figured I might as well just ask. So I sent a note to CCP and asked if I could make a bumper sticker just for me that said "my other car is a mining barge" and use a picture of a barge. I got a very politie "no" as a response. So I never did it.

But then about one or maybe two years ago, I saw someone post an image of an eve car window decal they made for themselves and several devs said "that's awesome".

My guess is, if its just for you, it should be ok. But as the above story shows.. there are conflicts. e-mail via ccpgames.com or file a ticket to be sure. And damn it do I still want that bumper sticker lol

Speaking of promotion, I feel like hijacking and telling a story.

Back in 2006, my wife and I were getting married and going on a long honeymoon across the country. Was fun, anyway, the day after we left to go to her parents house for the wedding, my eve on arrived. In it was a contest about promoting eve. The contest ended the day after we got home, but that was not the point. If I had gotten it sooner, I would of embarked on a month long eve promotional tour, and most likely won the trip to Iceland. But alas was not ment to be.

My idea way to have signs on my car, and hold signs at every monument I visited , yea I was gonna go nuts lol.

Anyway, what is it you want to put on the bike and helmet? I'm curious

I'm sure most of the CCP folks have clauses in their contracts that they're not allowed to make official responses defining company policies.

aka "No comment"

I know most if not all of the employment contracts I've had to sign had them.



Keeps the kids quiet for a while though. Plus give the repair guy in business when the machine breaks down every 3 days....

Here's how it's been throughout the years:

- if you ask using the official channels you get the official "not allowed", because they're forced by law to act against any and all attempts at people using their trademarks and it's impossible for a GM to give limited permissions.

- if you make something that's not with the intent to make profit but just for yourself or a small group of people (again, without RL money changing hands) then they'll let it slide and if you post screenies on the forums you'll get devs telling you how awesome it looks.


Good luck with your cool helmet.

Questions like this come up every now and then and most of the time the answer centers on two points:

1. You can't sell it for money
2. You can't use the intellectual property to promote something else that you sell for money


I have seen cases of people making stuff who could sell it for ISK. But who knows if policy changed or not. There was a policy change that was included with the Summer of Rage regarding handling of IP.

File your support ticket on a Friday for better results.

Sounds like a cool project.

Shoot me an EVEmail with a little more detail in it, and we'll see what we can do to assist
