Are there vector versions of the designs people want? I'm not that good at design but if I have the vector designs it would be easier to pursue...

mdc, you gonna make some of the ones you have on your seat back for people interested? Cos I definitely am.

, no, sorry. I have no plan to do that. Alan pointed out(see post 44) that I might get into trouble with Porsche because it is too similar to the graphics they are using. I don't think there is an issue, but I rather not find out. It has a similar style, but I have seen similar style used by Infinity and others. But I am glad that he brought it up.

The graphics was created for my own personal use. It has no commercial value and it is not intended for anyone else to use it. I just posted that as an example of what I did to make my seat back more interesting. . I asked for the graphics and pictures to be removed, so they are all gone.

That's a damn shame. Another example of how copyright law (and patent law for that matter) seems to serve as obstructors to innovation and creativity these days. If you drew it, it's your creation. Oh well.

Pity.

There is no chance that Porsche could block this. Their right to block reuse of their OWN button designs would be thin at best. And their right to block a totally different design that was "similar" and a parody is zero. Moreover, why would they even care/try.

How bout a replacement for the "A" which is the only non self explanatory button. "Sport-" would fit right in.

I didn't want to let this die. These are the new buttons in the new GT3. I think the race track button is great.

Very difficult case for them anyway. They would have to argue that it was a derivative work under the copyright law and that you had access and there was sufficient similarity to something you copied. And, unless they actually file a copyright and put a notice on whatever it is they can prove you copied (assuming that they can do that) they can only get an injunction to prevent you from distributing them. And, again, that was only if the gave a rat's.

Please count me in for a set, or likely two - I am not that patient or that coordinated
