Intellectual property refusal, feedback please...

Hello, I have 4 vector images that have been refused for IP and I'm a little confused as to why, hoping for some feedback...

 

My guess for the first 3 is because of the crayons. However, after searching the site lots of crayon vectors come up, ones even more so like the original Crayola look than mine.

 

For the fitness icons, I am just stumped because I don't believe anything is against the rules, unless it's the water bottle lid, is that a thing? lol!

 

Thanks ツ

Hello,

 

I think for the Fitness Icons, there could be a problem with the shoes in the upper right corner. The "3 stripes" is associated with the Brand ADIDAS.

The shape of your cayons is specific for a Crayon. This, together with Crayon needs to leed to a refusal, if not one or the other alone does. 

 

I agree with the Addidas shoe.

The name CRAYON is a registered trademark.

Hmmm, I wonder how so many other people have their "crayon" searchable images then.

I like these. Did you provide a property release signed by the artist? This is absolutely needed. It makes no difference if the artist is yourself.  You sign both halves of the release. (Confusing part: "artist" on the form is a photographer, "owner" is the person who made the art). Also, check your keywords don't contain any trade names like "crayola".

I'm actually trying that right now after some forum research

 

Oh and no, I did not use crayola for the description or keywords.
