ODST Expeditionary Force I The WorkPLace I Mythics
Technically Mythic
Posted by: Cobravert
I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

I want to use the logo for ONI on my debit card, since my bank offers customizable cards. I have just the plain logo with no text. Would I be able to use it, or do I have to get permission from Bungie/343, and if so, how would I go about getting it?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You have to talk to Rockstar games, they own ONI now.

And I think you can as long as you don't make money from the image.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Ask them if that images is trademarked/copyrighted.

It appears that 343 could not use the Marathon logo, so one could assume Oni falls under the same category?

In this case, Bungie did use Oni after Rockstar had it in Halo 3:ODST. Thus, you may be safe.

What does the credit card company say about using copyrighted images?

For all images you must:
Own the image or have permission from the owner to use the image on your card
Have approval from the owner if you use any logo, name, or tag line that isn't yours.

Images that include any of the following will be rejected:
Trademarks, copyrighted materials, advertising, or branding.
Celebrities, musicians, athletes, entertainers, or other public figures.
Telephone numbers, URLs, account numbers, addresses, or email addresses.
Cartoon characters or artwork that you have not created and/or do not have permission from the copyright owner to use.
Violent, offensive, anti-social, or death imagery including any other material that could be perceived as violent.
Provocative, lewd, or -blam!- content including nude, semi-nude, or partially clothed pictures of people of any age.
Dead animals, including game animals.
Political or religious imagery.
Symbols representing money or other content that might result in confusion at the point of sale, or that might result in card fraud.
Socially unacceptable or discriminatory behavior or signs. For example, gangs, hatred, drug or alcohol abuse, graffiti, profanity, or other obscene behavior or gestures.
Images of flags, unless it is one of the flag-related images from our photo gallery.

If your image is not approved because it doesn't meet these guidelines, or for any other reason, you will be notified by email. You may then submit another image.

I thought you meant ONI like the game ONI not the Office of Navel Intelligence sign.

wow I am sorry about that.

I am sure it is okay, 343i owns it but they aren't going to sue you for a pic on a credit card.

I'm not concerned with that. I'm concerned about it being rejected by my bank, and I want to use it because it looks pretty BA. I want to know how I go about obtaining permission to use it, so I can show the bank in case it is rejected.

This is what the card would look like.

That is REALLY cool.

You could try contacting bs angel or people on the 343i forums and see what they can do.

Yeah, I don't expect bs angel to be able to do anything about it. She's not exactly high up on the 343 ladder.

Just out of curiosity...

How would they ever know if you used it without their permission? I highly doubt they go around asking to see peoples credit cards.

Yeah, that tends to be the main thing. I don't think they'd mind a fan having one of their logos on his credit card.

It's not that they'll have an issue, but my bank. I was wondering how I would go about proving to the bank that it would be okay to use it, but from what I read in the GCUR, I think it'll be okay. Like SJ said, if I'm not selling it, it should be good.

I think you'd be just fine.

I have tattoos of the marathon symbol and the splatter medal and all kinds of other Bungie stuff, and I've never had any trouble there.

I don't see how your situation would be any different.

If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

I've actually run into something similar to this before.

Seeing as you're not trying to make a profit from said logo, I'm pretty sure you're covered on your end via fair usage laws. However, I'm not so sure the same applies to your bank.

Does the service cost anything to you? As in, do you have to pay anything extra for the customized card?

I had to do a magazine layout for school last semester; it was just a one-off project for my typography class. Anyway, I did a gaming magazine, and I used several screenshots from Halo: Reach.

The part where it relates to you is that, when I took it to Kinkos to be printed, they refused to do it on account of it containing copyrighted materials. They may have been being overly-cautious, but it brought up something I had never considered before:

They were charging me for a service, but it was a service involving the reproduction of copyrighted imagery that they didn't have the rights to. I didn't either, be seeing as it was for educational purposes (a school project), I was in the clear.

So I would definitely try to get some official word on this, because I wouldn't be surprised if they denied you for the same reasons Kinkos denied me.

It isn't the same, Primo.

He isn't using it for any money making purposes. I don't believe the ONI logo is a legitimate copyright either. The game name (Halo) however is of copyright but not the ONI logo itself. OP should be in the clear.

I made/paid for a Superintendent Tee and it's the same case and it's perfectly legal.
