Hi There, I am in the process of designing premade logo designs, which I will sell on my website. Each logo will be sold once. If I want to use a stock vector image as part of the logo design, which licence do I need to purchase. Thsnks

This is a forbidden use of Adobe Stock. Images cannot be used to make a logo. No exclusive license option is available. In general if you are offering single use logos, you MUST create everything yourself, because otherwise the logo buyer may find serious difficulties.

Logo design should not rely on stock assets. If you modify the asset so that it is different from the source, you could have started designing from scratch. If you do not do that, the logo cannot be used as logo.

 

BTW: I would design sample logos to expose, when you do not have a reference base, but I would not invest heavily in logo design. It will give your best ideas out for free.

    The logo itself is text only, the image would be used as a pattern on the back of the business card.

    When it's not part of the logo, you can use Adobe stock assets.

     

    Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
    (Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
