ever want to get releases for the work you paid for. They will not give you one. They are NOT professional enough.

You should be able to get releases, but you shouldn't expect that they're included with the designs you bought. -
They have promised me the release over 10 times since May.. never EVER delivered.Originally posted by candyflipComment

Ok...maybe we're thinking of the wrong thing. And if they've promised, they should deliver.Originally posted by AdvertisingSexComment

I guess I am a little confused . . . what kind of release are they not providing?Comment

thanks for the heads upSIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

I'm guessing: Model releases for images included in the design?Originally posted by baddogSleep well, and dream of large women.

10x 4 the infoComment

that sounds crappy RayComment

Unless your contract with Bluewire Designs specifically states they own the copyrights to the designs they produce AND you agree to the terms of the contract, as a work for hire, you own the rights to the designs and don't need a release (under US Copyright law). Be careful about what rights you sign away in a contract.Comment

Bluewire do excellent work
See sig...Comment

I had a couple of characters designed for my upcoming site... I needed to get them copywritten and wanted Bluewire to send me a letter stating they designed it and release all rights to me... just for my records to include in my copyright package.
2 sentences on their letterhead... but, can't even get that.
Now I have the characters that say"" Copywritten by... etc and they are not until I get the release and file the package... so I could lose them if someone steals them.Comment

Hi Guys,
Thank you to those who showed me this thread and who have supported us. I'll take the heat on this one....We did a couple toons for Ray which I may add we delivered ahead of schedule.
Ray and I didnt have a contract but I did tell him at some point during the project that he could have a release. This was at the begining of summer I believe and somehow within our expansions, new office, business trips, 2 family deaths and a REALLY crappy secretary that I had....Ray never recieved his release which was nothing more than a piece of paper with a signature essentially.
I take responsibility for this....my fault, my fault, MY fault. I cant say it any better than that
With that being said, there are a lot better ways to my heart then starting flame threads about our company. If you're gonna go to the boards, a simple "How about giving me my damn release Bluewire!" will do the trick.
I've notified Ray that I'll be putting the release together for him today as soon as our moving company is finished up (still moving in to the new offices). I've also offered him 50% off on a design up to 1k in value if we wants to give us another shot. Sorry for the delays Ray
Hopefully this clears this up guysComment

We did 2 toons for him. I believe he wants a release for records and he wants to trademark them or something. Not sure. He's the only client in our history that has ever asked for oneOriginally posted by DagwolfComment

I am also offering Ray a free toon if he wants it today.
I'm not such a bad guy right?
Okay...gotta get back to work moving here but I'll make sure that release gets sent out here shortly Ray so that this thread and die into the myst

Not sure where you came up with that info, but that's false. Designer retains ALL rights to ALL designs unless it specifies Full Rights are transfered in the contract.Originally posted by 2257-Ben
Only time this would not be true is if the Designer is an employee of a company and is designing something thru that company, then the company owns the rights.Comment

This is true...In this case there was no contract but ray wanted the rights and I said that was fine by me as long as we can keep in our portfolioOriginally posted by aicoComment
