BYOAC Tokens!!! Now Accepting Pre-Orders.

Pages: << < (14/28) > >>

Tilzs:

They sell cocktail "MAME" overlays so I can't see that doing a few tokens is really going to make anyone upset.

If you are going to do 2 sides, I'd suggest something that is really custom, meaning not just take a pacman logo or a player one logo. I think the cost of the token should be worth what one is paying for it. I mean I can go buy any old generic tokens off ebay for much cheaper.

For the record I like MAME on one side and BYOAC on the other. I dont' see why there is such a big deal about putting MAME on a token. The majority of the people on the board have a mame machine anyhow. From a marketing point of view, I think that if you ordered a lot of tokens, you'd have a much easier time selling them (on ebay or whatnot) with a MAME logo on it than with something more generic.


Stingray:

I'm totally interested in getting some of these. Without even seeing any preliminary designs, I know that the members here will come up with something worth buying. I would greatly prefer two sided custom and and am willing to pay extra for it. Also I have no problem with replacing my mechs if needed. I don't understand what everyone's hangup about replacing their mechs is. They're cheap enough and take all of about 10 seconds to swap out.

So you mean they are part of BYOAC and have most likely built a MAME machine too? Yes I got it  ::) er ... oh ... no I don't ... I guess  ;D

Come to think of it, Kelsey, you out there?  Did this cause you any problem with the engraved Spinner knobs?

Technically you should get permission from the MAME website guy.  He came up with the design.  And on his site he actually states that you can use the logo for personal reasons, but he requires permission if you are going to make money off it.  Yes there are probably tons of people out there who didn't get permission and you could probably get away with out getting it, but...

I actually went as far as trying to contact the guy when I was looking to produce tokens, but he would never respond to any of my emails.
