You can't do that

"Inspiration"


Yesterday I discovered a few people online using a logo I designed, without permission. This irked me!


I sent each violator a message to inform them of the misuse; fully expecting them to ignore me or fight back. Instead, each person responded quickly, professionally, and apologetically. Mostly, they didn't realize they did anything wrong because they trusted their designer, but they all wanted to make it right. 

My anticipated copyright nightmare, turned out to be a few liberally inspired "logo designers". In the end, these "designers" put their clients at risk for copyright infringement. Make sure you trust your designer!

It isn't just small businesses that rip off designs either.
