Copyright Logo Registration - Do you own the copyright to your logo design?

[@RockYourBrand]

I hope that you haven't had problems with logo copyright. If you have, how did you go about resolving it? It could help others in the same situation.

how do i pay you to make logo

[@omgvapor3084]

Again, another great video, Col! As a designer myself, I've always handed over work in good faith, and never had any issues with copyright. However, since I am now a registered business, I will be adding a transfer of ownership certificate to complete (and fully paid) design work in the future. Thank you very much!

[@RockYourBrand]

Good stuff mate. I use a template that Graham Smith kindly uploaded to his website. I just changed some of the wording to suit my own services. Here is a link to it. imjustcreative.com/logo-design-transfer-of-copyright-form/2019/09/25

Hello, I have a question: if I want to make a logo for my yt channel, but the image is of someone else's character (actually from a well-known anime, only I would put it with other things of my own edition) can you bring me copyright issues? Thanks

[@RockYourBrand]

If you were to use someone else’s character without their written permission you will be breaking copyright law. You should always use original artwork where possible. If you want to use someone else’s artwork/design/character you must get their permission.

if the designer design a logo for client is not that under "work obhire" and the client own the design?

[@waynevii4961]

Hello, what if I designed and drew the logo but let a professional designer remake in the same way from colors to font etc. ? do I still own the copyright? or do we share it?

[@youtubetroller2451]

Hello how do I know if a logo is copyright

[@RockYourBrand]

You can do a reverse image search using Google (www.google.com/imghp?hl=EN) click on the camera icon and upload the image that you want to check. Or you can use the website TinEye - tineye.com/ Or you can also use the WIPO website (www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/#) which will let you check if a logo design already exists as a registered trademark. You need to click on the image tab, drag in the image you want to search and then choose Concept or Shape as filter options. I do a separate search for each usually. Here is a screenshot showing the WIPO image search area: pixelsink.com/WIPO_Image_Search.jpg

Hello, I am making a logo for my brand and I used the icon “Flower of life” to add to my brand name. Do you think it’s considered copyright?

[@RockYourBrand]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a symbol that is public domain or has been trademarked. You would be best to contact an intellectual Property expert for advice there :)

[@Faylayx]

Could you maybe also make a video about how to trademark/copyright your logo as a graphic designer? I’ve been wondering about that for a while now

[@RockYourBrand]

Hey Faylax, The process can be different in each country due to differences in laws and the systems used. I'll create a video on how it works in the UK if you want to register the logo yourself. I don't imagine the process differs too wildy around the world. It is always a good idea though to consult with an intellectual property lawyer/expert as well to make sure you don't miss anything out or make a mistake. I'll cover that in the video too.

[@Faylayx]

Amazing thank you so much! I’m from germany but I’m certain it wont make too much of a difference. Thanks for the response and hope you have a great day!

Hey So today the designer I hired send me my logo he sen me the logo and also the vector file but he never send me the copyright form to sing,, he said having the vector file I’m 100% the owner of the logo and I can do trademark ™️ just by having the vector file is the true ,, I live in the usa

[@RockYourBrand]

The designer can release copyright to you verbally, but for absolute peace of mind, I would definitely want something in writing from them, even if it is just an email from them confirming that they have assigned all copyright ownership over to you.

[@harshitpanwar961]

Hello sir, I have finished a re branding project in which the new logo is similar to last logo but is now much more professionally done. Colors and blueprints were kept same in the output. Should I still do a copyright transfer of this logo?

Hey, I would do another Copyright transfer just to keep things all correct.

What about using Canva to make your logo design dgitial?

[@RockYourBrand]

Yes, you can use any design software really for logo creation :)

[@KakaMamawd5e.x637g]

Hello sir. Any copyright will rise if we use already default pre designed logos from any logo designing softwares. Can we use those logos after little bit changes for our channels, websites.. Etc. Please give replay. Thank you.

[@RockYourBrand]

You would have to check the license agreements from the logo design software to check what their allowed uses are.

Hello I created my own logo what type of paper work I kneed ?

[@Queenweezy]

If you created it yourself, will you still need to copyright it ?.. to prevent others from stealing it ?

[@RockYourBrand]

In a lot of countries, as soon as you create a piece of work, you own the copyright. However, in other countries you will need to complete some forms. The sad truth is that even with copyright, some people will steal, but if you can prove you are the original creator, that will help you if you needed to take legal action.

[@TeeRql]

great info! i am using fiverr to get a logo designed and the designer is charging for transfer agreement copywright. Is that something designers typically charge for? Also, is this the same as IP assignment agreement?

[@RockYourBrand]

Some designers do charge extra for this, usually in cases where they have not charged very much for the actual design services. As for the assignment, I am not 100% sure and so I'd not like to give you the wrong information. This site might help: www.iprhelpdesk.eu/node/2569

[@nocturne3129]

Sir, thank you for the video! Recently, I paid someone on Fiverr to design an NFT art. Should I ask him to send me the copyright form?

[@queenbombus]

Thank you so much :-) I have been looking for information on this subject. I purchased a logo from an artist and I'm waiting for her to sign over the rights to it, yes I paid for it. What forms should be used for that?

[@RockYourBrand]

Hey there, It doesn't have to be anything complicated. Just something in writing from the designer/artists that states that they are assigning the copyright over to you with their signature and the date of transfer. Here is a link to an example document: pixelsink.com/downloads/Pixels_Ink_Transfer_of_Copyright.pdf

[@anastasiaderiavova4220]

if I create my own logo and pictures, is it automatically copyright? or I need to go to website and pay and copyright it?:)

[@RockYourBrand]

Hey Anastasia, the laws from country to country are different, but from what I know, when you create an original piece of work, you are the copyright holder. In some countries, you need to complete some forms to legitimise this though. I am hoping to do an interview with a copyright expert in the near future to put onto the channel :)

[@CHENOTV]

why would people not give someone all the rights to a logo created for them. thats crazy

Hi, We have created one new channel with brand name and logo. Later we gonna use it for our business (same name and logo). It's is necessary to register now?

[@RockYourBrand]

The longer you leave registering a name or logo, there is more of a chance that someone else will register the name or logo design before you. This would mean that you would have to then change your name, logo or both.

[@sandeepgupta-pb8wl]

Hey Col Could you tell me as a designer if i completed the design for thr client. How I would copyright the design.

[@sandeepgupta-pb8wl]

What have to do to copyright the design, after completion the design for the client at my hand as a graphic designer

[@RockYourBrand]

Hi Sandeep, I'm not sure how Copyright works where you are, but here in the UK, as the creator of any piece of work, I automatically am the copyright holder. i don't need to complete any paperwork. If a client is paying you to create a piece of work then generally you will pass the copyright over the to the client.

What if the designer dies while holding copyright if client's logo

[@RockYourBrand]

Great question! Ideally there would be documentation in place with instructions in what to do in that event. If there were no direct instructions, i would imagine the copyright would then belong to the designer's estate.

[@harshitpanwar961]

@@RockYourBrand I didn't get this Designer's Estate.

[@RockYourBrand]

Estate is the term used for everything that the designer owned. Property, money, intellectual property etc. This would all usually be passed onto a family member following someone’s death.

Hello I created my own logo what type of paper work I need

[@RockYourBrand]

It really depends on where you live. For example, here in the UK and in the USA, creative copyright is automatically assigned to the creator of a piece of work. So you don't need to fill in any forms. The only time you would need to fill in forms and pay a fee is if you want to register your logo as a trademark.
