--- Quote from: sheep2001 on February 02, 2012, 11:10:01 AM ---I give up --- End quote --- Does this mean you're not going to make the remaining GB/GBC covers I need with a little Sheep icon on the side? :( So - here's the deal - Similar to Sheep, I've stated my opinion - given what I feel are reasonable concerns, etc., etc. I will now mostly bow out of this conversation. I'm pretty much a mooch off the site anyway, so my opinion should not be the deciding factor - and I appear to be one of the small minority who thinks the way I do. While I still stand strongly by my stance of "Allowed but discouraged", I will leave with this - IF the site is going to make a standard policy regarding individual credits on covers, then this policy needs to be stated in the various creation guides or such... somewhere on the site. DO NOT ASSUME everyone knows the policy is there... because it never has been before - although it's never really come up, this is a pretty major change in policy and it needs to be communicated. |

Only one post from me on this topic. Credit for custom artworks designed by someone else (eg DeviantArt) = YES! Credit for cleaning/rearanging of allready exisiting art/covers = NO! |

No cover created by me will ever have a credit on it. I do these for fun, not notoriety. It has who created the cover in the download details on the site, that's good enough for me. If we do decide on a universal rule for having credits on cover layouts, I don't see a 6-8 point "layout by insertnamehere" on the back as being too intrusive, but ultimately I definitely prefer to have nothing. |

Guys, I'll work with the Gurus and Admins and come up with an official policy on this so we can get it posted this week. |

As an artist, I would be pretty unhappy if my name was obliterated from a piece of work only to be re-appropriated for some other purpose. Don't get me wrong, I'm OK with my work being used for this sort of non-profit venture (for the most part), but I would insist on at least being allowed to have my name remain on my work. That's my noob .02 |
