Permission to use Negro Leagues logos

StickyBleachers · 03-13-2016, 06:06 PM

Hello OOTP community! We are a couple of sports nerds with a podcast and YouTube channel featuring fun sports and sports history. We are doing a series of Negro Leagues games simulated on a romhack of RBI Baseball for NES. I was making title cards for the videos and found out that they are made by the community here. I wanted to ask officially if we can use them as title cards in our videos. We've already published the first game featuring the Cleveland Buckeyes and KC Monarchs. I didn't know these logos were from this forum until after publishing. For that, I apologize.

Whoever has been making them, I'd love your permission to use them and your preferred attribution for your work. Thanks!

You need to post the logos in question here, so we can help identify who made them... I watched some of your video and didn't see any logos...

I pulled a few logos by searching Google images before I noticed that they seemed to have the same forum location. I used a Monarchs logo that matched the same style as the ones I was finding here on the forum, but it was on another fansite, I assumed it might have been taken and reposted there.

I'll only use the logos in the thumbnail title cards and in the static shots of the highlight videos. I guess you wouldn't have seen it if you just followed the watch link I posted yesterday. Sorry about that.

This is a NY Cubans logo I'm hoping to use:

Grays:

A few more:

Looks like most of them come from users txranger, DChelper, and Knuckler. We'd like to do a series of videos highlighting these teams, and this modern art would be a cool addition if we can use it. Happy to attribute in any way you'd like and happy to find something else if the artists would rather we not use it.

Thanks!

I made the Cubans, Elites, American Giants and the Clowns... The artwork within the clowns is not of my making, found it in a search, no idea where it originated from... OK by me to use mine in your videos as you described... Would appreciate any credit you can give... Thanks for asking... Knuckler has not been around here in a while, you could try sending him a personal message via this forum... Not sure about DChelper either maybe try sending him a pm also...
