Frequently Asked Questions

Does this agreement guarantee the logo can be registered as a trademark?
No. The profile-specific clause limits any clearance work to searches expressly described. It does not promise registration or a legal non-infringement opinion.
Are stock fonts and components transferred to the client?
They remain subject to third-party license restrictions. Identify them and check whether their terms fit the planned use.
Does the logo designer deliver editable source files?
The form separately addresses editable source or project files. Confirm the selection and format requirements.
What are common warning signs in a logo design agreement?

These are common issues to watch for in any logo design agreement:

  • The agreement is treated as a guarantee of trademark registration
  • No one checks rights for fonts or licensed components
  • Final files and revision count are unspecified
  • Source files are assumed included without selection
