    @svilen5C9E.,

    You may not use on your website.  Your screenshot clearly shows that these are licensed for EDITORIAL USE ONLY. 

     

    Unless you're a journalist, news reporter or blogger writing an article about the subject, you may NOT use the logos. They are protected. Sorry.

      crop out the logo you want to use, than in illustrator create a outline and make a vector file from it.

        First, how are they selling images with logos on Adobe Stock.... seems like they could get in a lot of trouble.

        Secondly, some of these logos might not be the updated ones for the company.  As a Marketer, you need to really look to see what logo the company is currently using on their site.

        I would always then go online and find either vector or png files of the current logos that I need for a forget... let's say an infographic or YouTube video.  Then I would ensure that I have high-quality versions of the CURRENT LOGO. 

        Adobe Stock would not be the place where I would download logos.  And I think anyone selling logo files on here could get banned if Adobe really looked into it.

          Good advice. But "how are they selling images with logos on Adobe Stock" -- answer, it is "editorial use only". I don't think current submission guidelines would allow it though even for contributors able to make "illustrative editorial".

            Your question is not clear. You bought image on Adobe Stock? I found similar image on Adobe Stock Set top world most popular largest Manufacturers of consumer electronics home appliance company brands logo: xiaomi, huawei, hp, sony, lenovo, LG, Beko, Tefal, Samsung, Editorial vector. Stock Photo | Adobe Stock It is JPEG file and you must extract or cut out brand logos from original file in order to use them. 

             

            One way is to marquee around logo then to copy it or press Ctrl + J to duplicate selection on new layer then move it to another document or save it....

              Hi Bojan

               

              Thank you so much for your reply. I am a web designer, and I am trying to figure out how to use Adobe - hence the silly questions.

              My issues are that:

              1.The logos are not vector files - if I want to change the size, I will loose the quality. Am I right?

              2. Why the person who created this didn't use layers for each of the logos so that it would be easier to work and identify, select and manipulate.

              3. Here is another example - how to edit this image? How to change the text without affecting the background image?

              Your help and ideas will be truly appreciated.

               

              Kind regards

              T

              2. Limitation of JPEG files. No layers. But still, layers seems a very complex way to do this; just crop it, then mask out the background (another JPEG limitation). 

              Just a note, in case you missed this be sure to respect the "editorial use only" restrictions. You might use specific logos to illustrate a blog post about a specific company by name. You can't use them in promotion of your own site eg for the Facebook icon in social media, or to show that you sell Apple-compatible products, or accept Mastercard.

                  Hi Peru Bob

                   

                  I want to use one of the logos - the problems that I am having are:

                  The logos are not vector files - if i change the size, I will decrease the quality.

                  Files like that sould be created with layers for each of the logos - that way it will be eazier to locate, select and manipulate each one of them. Am I right?

                  Here is another example. How to edit this image?
