Hi all ...

I have created illustrations with flag-symbols for the World Football Competition and they all get rejected for Intellectual Property Violation. As there are other images with flags on Adobe Stock the reason must be in the caption and keywords. Can anyone enlighten med of what's wrong? Maybe it's the words: Football World championship?

Caption: Football World championship groups - with Argentina, Croatia, Iceland and Nigeria. Banner design background soccer

Keywords: cup; world; 2018; soccer; football; ball; Argentina; Croatia; Iceland; Nigeria; nations; winner; championship; background; russia; team; stadium; flag; sport; wallpaper; goal; design; tournament; competition country; attack; contest; final; game; groups; table; match; national; template; grass; nation

Correct answer v.poth

"maybe it has more to do with your pictures themselves or the title and not with the keywords?"

No - it's only flags .... the rejections a mystery ..!


No, oleschwander, I don´t think so. There could be no mysteries about a rejection in cause of property violation possible, Have a look at:

Known image restrictions and check.

Just post the pictures and we will be able to judge it better.

Professional teams are branded identities.  Most team graphics can't be altered.  The only possible way to submit official team flags / icons / logos, etc... would be Illustrative Editorial (editorial use only).

We are talking about countries. USA is not a protected idendity and the American flag is neither. And putting that on a sphere's surface is not protected neither. The soccer ball design is protected, so don't use that. Theam logos are protected, so don't use that. FIFA is protected etc...

Do you have a question for the community? Why do you resurrect a nearly 6 year old thread?

Thanks - Yes I know that v.poth. That’s why I don’t use these phrases ...

But have a look at image no. 161443181, no. 195021644 - and many others ..!?

Hi,

maybe it has more to do with your pictures themselves or the title and not with the keywords?
