What does the "M.O.D.". stand for?  I'm just curious.

 

If the A, M, AF, and N stand for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines; those are registered trademarks and you need written permission to use them.  You can read all about US Air Force brand licensing here: https://www.trademark.af.mil/

 

But on to the rejection reason of technical issues.  I agree with Nancy's comments, the symbols appear to be accidentally cropped too tightly.  Even if this was on purpose, I suspect Adobe believes it gives the appearance of a mistake.  I also wonder if there is a resolution issue, the text looks a little blurry when zoomed in.  

 

I also wonder how this image would be used in a composite or commercial project?

 

Good luck 🙂

    Yes, that is what they are meant to convey, yet I did my due diligence to get approval.  Why would Adobe not do theirs?

    Illustrated art is all subjective, even if it is commissioned.

    Photography less so.

    Forgive me if I seem skeptical but exactly what approval do you have to use those US Military symbols commercially?

     

    Adobe has no way of knowing what if any permission you have unless you submit signed property releases with your image.  Adobe Stock is a business, not an art gallery.

    Apart from the obvious IP & copyright violation, the symbol backgrounds are not sufficiently masked/cropped.

      I meant to offset the symbols, so do Adobe's customers expect artistic illustrations to be mathematically equal?

      As for IP & copyright violation, did Abobe confirm this?

      This is a user-to-user community.  Adobe Stock employees do not spend much time here.  But the Stock Contributor User Guide contains all the submission requirements.  Read it. It's important information to know.

       

      Speaking as a Stock Customer, I expect to find technically perfect and legally cleared images for use in my own commercial projects.  Otherwise, I cannot buy the images.
