Would there be any demand for custom graphic lighted displays ? These would consist of brand names other than Coke and any other graphics someone may want for a custom machine display such as favorite Football team, hobby such as Hotrods or any type you can possibly think of ? Just a thought that crossed my mind and wondering if there would be any kind of demand for such.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

If you wanted to go beyond a personal dream machine or maybe a one-off for a friend, you'd have to have all your licensing ducks in a row. Trademark law is a bear. "Roll Tide!" takes on a whole new meaning when the lawyers are rolling. http://www.rolltide.com/licensing/BTW: I am NOT a fan of the University of Alabama. I don't care much for college sports in general, and junk like this is partly why. I am NOT a lawyer, and this post does not constitute legal advice. I still don't like college sports though. |

I know this is off topic, and perhaps it's against my better judgement to ask, but my curiosity has gotten the better of me.
Rebel, are you a fan of the University of Alabama football team?

Understand about copyrights. The company I'm talking to has that covered so wanted to ask again,,if there is any demand other than Coke which he does not have approval to reproduce ?
Not near as intense as most around here.lol |

Understand the copyright issue. My contact has that covered other than Coke. Back to the original question,,,,any interest out there ?
By the way,,anyone have lead on Dr. Pepper in glass ? Just called them and they say only .06% of biz with this product and show no one within a 100 miles of three different zip codes.

You must be pretty serious about it if you've checked into licensing. There is precedent for this sort of thing. I've even thought about it myself a little (I can't make parts, but I do draw graphics. Whether I can draw is up for debate.) EDIT: The picture below is NOT my work. Sorry about the confusion.  http://www.antiquevend.com/projecthistory/2007NebraskaCornhuskersCavalier.htmlI'm guessing you want to do this for profit. Whether there's enough interest to recoup overhead and make money, I don't know. |
