Adobe Licencing

Hi

 

I am building a peer led community that holds social events and local campaigns to raise awareness of our cause, I have created a logo using an image from Adobe Stock and using adobe express to design it.

 

The license I used on adobe stock is a standard one, when i look at the licensing page its states:

 

This Adobe Stock licensing information is intended for individuals, Creative Cloud for teams members and VIP members only. ETLA users, please see the enterprise page.

 

I am struggling to understand whether the standard licence is right for an organisation such as the one i am building, the image will be used for a logo on social media and for flyers.

 

Do I need an enhanced or extended licence? or will the standard one be enough?

 

 

Many Thanks

You are licensing as an individual. The terms that are mentioned here are depending on the subscription plan that you have and that give different kinds of rights to the licensee. 

 

The problem with using stock assets as a logo is that you won't get exclusive access to the asset. So, imagine the Apple logo coming from a stock assets. Everyone, including Apple's fiercest competitors would be able to use that logo for own products. 

 

For a logo and exclusive access to that logo, you should ask a designer to create that for you.

    @dave_7683 instead of using an image from Adobe Stock, you create create a new image with AI with Firefly. It's a text to image AI tool. Kinda cool. https://firefly.adobe.com

    Here's what I came across, in which case neither standard nor enhanced would work:

    "You can't use Adobe Stock images as part of a logo, trademark, or company identity. Typically, individuals and businesses using logos with graphic elements own the copyrights to those graphics. The Stock license grants you the right to use images under certain conditions, but it doesn't transfer copyright. Stock’s contributing artists retain all copyrights to their images."

     

    Then again, you're not really talking about a company, but an organization. I'd hold off to see if someone else more knowledgeable myself can chime in.
