Thread: Vikings inspired credit card?

Hey guys, i'm more of a lurker here but some people might remember me, i've been around a while!

Just found out that my bank will now let you design you own credit card, naturally I want myself a Vikings one!

I just can't find the right picture or Vikes design to go on it, anyone want to give me a hand? It's gonna cost me €15 so trial and error could be costly!
;D

Just sign up for a Vikings credit card at the dome.

That is a pretty cool web app.
I would see if one of the more artistic people on here can design one for you.

How is that legal for them to print a Vikings card without permission?

As long as you don't use a copyrighted logo (i.e. the norseman) you would be fine.
Here are the rules regarding images you can use:

Ulster Bank may reject images that contain or comprise of the following:



* an image of, or the name or nickname of, a celebrity, a musician, an athlete, an entertainer, or other public figures;


* any image or any text protected by copyright where you are not the owner of the copyright, e.g. a still from a movie or a cartoon;


* an image of an individual unless you have the consent of that individual;


* an image of a child unless you have the consent of a parent or guardian of the child;


* a trade mark, a logo, a marketing slogan, a company name, a trading name, a brand name, any marketing material or an image of branded goods/services;


* contact information, e.g. telephone numbers, addresses, website and e-mail addresses;


* offensive material, e.g. images or descriptions of violence or cruelty or antisocial behaviour, profanities or obscenities;


* images of nudity or semi-nudity or text about sexual behaviour or orientation;


* an image of or text about tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or any form of betting/gambling;


* an image of or text about weapons, or any terrorist or illegal groups;


* an image of or text about a financial product or service;


* a reference to a political group or party, a trade union or a charity; or


* any other image that Ulster Bank decides is unsuitable for use on your card.

So it would be tough to make a Vikings card.

Based upon the type of currency listed and the "Irish Hog" name he has under his avatar, I'm guessing that popping by the Dome ain't all that easy for him.

I don't know about that.
No pics of players, but you could still use the colors, probably the horn, a uni pic, etc.
It could be done if you were creative.

Hahaha yeah good call! I'm over here in little old Ireland. I did manage to make it to the dome season before last but that cost an arm and a leg and doesn't get to happen every year unfortunately.

I never really looked into the t's+c's that much. Was going to just use the norseman myself, afterall I have it tattooed on my arm so i'm a walking breach of god knows how many laws at the minute
;D

Really put this one on the long finger!

So tempted to go with something like this:
