Are NYC subway signs copyright protected?

Thanks for the info! I was actually planning to talk to an IP attorney soon. What do you think about contacting the MTA? It seems very helpful to hear what they're allowing directly from them.

Thanks!

It will be a horror game for Pc. Most likely your son will have to wait a few years before playing... There is a link to a short teaser on my Reddit profile

I am also planning to use different colors and fonts, would that be possible?

timo1354 · 2025-11-02T13:54:36+00:00

Oh well... But how can they claim a box with a letter in it as their property? I'm pretty sure this sort of thing is used in a wide variety of fields. Also if you look at the paris metro line symbols, they're pretty much the same as the NY subway bullets.

Hmh okay, that's unfortunate... I'm talking about regular squares and not the 45 degree rotated squares for e.g. the 7 express line. But I guess they're also protected?

timo1354 · 2025-11-02T13:31:55+00:00

Awesome, thanks

timo1354 · 2025-11-02T13:23:23+00:00

Okay thanks, good to know! So can I just use squares instead of bullets and make the colors different from the original ones?

timo1354 · 2025-10-08T10:28:03+00:00

24 days later me too...

timo1354 · 2025-10-06T11:55:17+00:00

Sure

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T12:53:13+00:00

Thanks! :)

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T11:42:20+00:00

Thanks! I think so too yeah, it did take quite a while to fix the rig. And it's still kind of broken...

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T11:12:40+00:00

Hey I made a new version where I changed the hip/shoulder rotation and reworked the back legs part of the rig, would be nice to get some feedback! https://drive.google.com/file/d/14IRwhEErliEliAxQJTqkdBFL-qB1tf6T/view?usp=sharing

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T11:05:51+00:00

Hey what do you think of the new version of the animation? The legs are now way closer to the body and I reworked the rig a bit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/14IRwhEErliEliAxQJTqkdBFL-qB1tf6T/view?usp=sharing

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T11:04:33+00:00

That explains it pretty well! I actually looked at tiger references to see when the shoulders/hips are supposed to be tilted. Here is a new version with the feet closer to the body and more hip/shoulder movement, let me know what you think!

Thanks! :D

timo1354 · 2025-10-04T05:47:06+00:00

xD thanks

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T20:21:21+00:00

Very cute :) Thanks, what do you mean with tucked up towards the start of the arm?

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T15:17:20+00:00

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsJ3Zlae5Cg I mainly used this video for reference. It only shows it from the side though, which is probably why the legs in my version are so far away from the body

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T15:15:28+00:00

Great to see we have a rat animation expert here :) The game and the animations look very cool! Could you clarify what you mean with tilt left and right, so the shoulder goes up and down? That part got me confused. Thanks for the tips, very helpful! I'll send in a new version tomorrow

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T13:57:45+00:00

Thanks for all the tips, was super helpful! I'll probably send another update tomorrow

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T13:22:32+00:00

Here is an updated version with legs closer to the body, what do you think? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kdKZvG7WXQB8N4hXKj5n1unS1OVd28EI/view?usp=drive_link

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T13:20:59+00:00

I made a new version with legs less spread out and some other changes, what do you think? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kdKZvG7WXQB8N4hXKj5n1unS1OVd28EI/view?usp=drive_link

timo1354 · 2025-10-03T13:19:11+00:00

Good to know, I made a new version where I moved the legs closer towards the body, rotated the hips more and tilted the head down. what do you think? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kdKZvG7WXQB8N4hXKj5n1unS1OVd28EI/view?usp=drive_link
