using art under CC-BY 3.0 for logo
Thursday, August 16, 2012 - 16:43
hey,
I am new to opengameart.org - but i really like the concept.
I was wondering if you could use some art under CC-BY 3.0 for a logo?
And if it is possible, what would i have to do it porperly, what and when to credit etc.?
I would be very happy if somebody who has wisdom on licensing would answer.
Thank you,
Simon
You'll probably have to talk to the artist on this one.
Technically you'd have to attribute the artist every single place the logo appears -- that's probably not going to be feasible. The artist may give you specific permission to attribute her in other ways.
Further, you may want to discuss with the artist because it enters Trademark territory, and CC licenses don't really deal with trademarks. You'll want to make sure the artist is cool with you using that art as your trade mark.
hey,
thanks you very much for your quick answer. I will do that and talk to the artist...
