Please Do Not Make Labels Out Of My Covers.

[ShokXoneStudios]

Hello all,

While I was browsing for Cover of the Year nominations (I was doing it the hard way until they simplified the search process), I spotted a couple labels that were made from covers I had submitted here. I find this disturbing because I didn't make them.

Labels are where I draw the line when it comes to customization. Replacing the cover is one thing, because it doesn't affect the disc; hell, the DVD's fine even if the box is gone. But putting a new label on a disc can endanger its playability, and can make it unsellable in the event I need to get rid of it.

If I had intended for labels to accompany my covers, I'd be designing them and submitting them myself.

If you've tried contacting me in the past asking either that I design a label to go with a cover or for permission to make the label yourself, you've likely received no reply because, to be blunt, I ignore these messages. In which case you can take my answer as a "No."

I realize there's no real way I can stop this from happening, but at the very least I should make my feelings on this clear:

I DON'T DO LABELS.

So please, don't do them for me.

Thank you.

If that is the way you feel, then your wishes should be respected. I personally feel that if the labels were made from your covers than they should removed from the Gallery. I also think that now that you have publicly made your feelings known, no labels made from your covers should be allowed to be uploaded to the Gallery. But that's just my opinion.

SXS, our rules are clear that using another members artwork without permission is not allowed. If you let us know about the labels you found, and it is obvious they were made using your artwork - we WILL delete them at your request.

Bazzah's already taken care of the one's I've found. This post was not intended to publicly out the culprits.

If people could stop using my covers for T shirts,pillow cases,bed sheets,lunchboxes ect ,that would also be very helpful

I think SXS is completely entitled to ask this. I was one of the culprits that made a label of one of SXS's covers, but that was to fill a request. But if SXS doesn't want his art being used by other people, whether it is for labels, pillow cases, or even mouse mats, that is his choice!!!
