Football Championship

[oleschwander]

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

Hi,

Fifa has protected terms such as:

2018 FIFA World Cup Russia ™

FIFA Football Worldcup™,

COPA 2018™,

COPA MUNDIAL 2018™,

RUSIA 2018™,

RUSSIA 2018™,

WM 2018™, S

name and 2018 for each venue (e.g. Moscow 2018) and more.

Greets,

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?

"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 ..!

[v.poth · Accepted solution]

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.

Here is one ...

Hi,

hm, I also think it can not be because of the picture, also the keywords you used can be found in other assumed comparable pictures.

I guess here the selector was overcautious about titles or keywords.

I mean it makes sense to contact contributer support here if you haven't already done so.

[oleschwander]

Thanks v.poth.

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

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...
