Interest check: ACDC Acrylic prints + more

I've been tinkering with the idea of making a backbox side panel size style art for quite some time and finally started the process of completing the first in the series of many (MET, TRON, Ripley's, Twilight Zone etc) to come. I've fired off the first sketches to the print shop and waiting back on pricing. Just want to know if there is enough demand to even produce these.

Each print (large size 8"x30") would printed on the back surface of the 3/16" polished acrylic stock with a white backing to protect the artwork. All necessary hardware used to hook the panel to the wall would be included : butterfly screws and stainless steel stand offs.

*---Please note that the product is currently not final (overlapping chain links etc...) but would like to gauge interest--*.

There will be 4 different sizes to choose from. The idea would be to start building a mural as I finish off the art pieces.

Is it illuminated from behind?

Nope. That would mean backlit panels $$$$. But It wouldn't prevent anyone from adding few led strips in the back for mood lighting

Do these have the permission of the copyright owner? They are a bit less generic than I'm used to seeing.

The confusion is that you seem to have posted a 3d render, not actual product, and there's a red spot of light behind the thing in the picture..

Any idea who to talk to for something like this. Epic rights maybe?

Apart from using the logo ( that is traced out of fire). everything else is 100% made.
But I hear ya

Well speaking from experience you may get polite threats from Stern over the logo.

Same for any other game of theirs. I'm just avoiding anything branded from Stern from here on out.

I'm curious why stern would have anything to do with this. It doesn't advertise pinball.

Their story is that they are contractually obligated to report brand violations with their licenses properties. The ACDC issue happened after their license was expired though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are defending it so they will be able to buy it again to make me a Luci

There is no Stern Logo or anything related specifically to the machine. Now whoever is representing ACDC might go after him, but given how far Predator got I doubt it. This is certainly a copyright violation though.
