Hi All,

In reference to the above comment, please note this part of the FAQs.

Stock Images, Clipart and Copyrighted Artwork and Logos – OK?

We urge caution in that regard - using stock art in your logo is probably a violation of the terms of your agreement with the site where you bought the image.

Designers need references to work from and there is no problem with providing images for Designers to use as inspiration only.

Stock Art / Clip Art

If stock art or clipart is used, you must identify it as 'not yours' by indicating you do not own copyrights.

You may have this question: 'But I bought the rights on a stock image website! Therefore, I can use them, right?'

Answer: No, the probability is, you can't. The reason being that purchasing rights to use an image most often excludes the right to use it in making a logo or brand identity that will be permanent. Doing so would violate the limited rights the designer of that image gives you. Please carefully read the specific and general terms of the site you use to get the image(s).

If you have taken a picture with your camera or have some other kind of drawing or artwork that is yours or has been given to you with no legal strings attached, you may identify it as 'yours' and Designer may use it in their designs.
