Title: 3rd Time my editorial vector rejected with different reasons !
Post by: arapix on December 21, 2016, 15:39
Hello,
It's first time for me to submit editorial vector.
I have read the rules. and I thought it's simple as usual, but my editorial vector is rejected for 3 times now :(
My vector is collection of social icons (facebook , twitter, linkedin, googlePlus , etc. )

First  Time :
Editorial Vector / Illustration Requirements -- Image does not meet our requirements for editorial vector/illustration submissions.
Intellectual Property -- Image potentially infringes on another party’s intellectual property rights (e.g., someone else’s artwork is visible in the image or an object's design is protected by copyright).

* this time i reviewd  the editorial submission  rules sand I  found out that I forgot to add “illustrative editorial” in  the keywordds

Second Time :
Intellectual Property -- Image potentially infringes on another party’s intellectual property rights (e.g., someone else’s artwork is visible in the image or an object's design is protected by copyright).
* I really not sure what was the wrong , but I decided to  re-submit it with very carful

Third Time :
Non-Licensable Content -- Due to legal compliance restrictions, we cannot license this content in our collection.
* I really don't understand what is that . I've searched about this rejection reason but I didn't find anything !

Please  advice

Whatever the subject is, SS clearly doesn't think it is legal to license it.  They may be overly conservative, but that is their right - their game, their rules.  My advice is to give up and do vectors on another subject.  Good luck!

To me, all 3 reasons are the same, just different wording.

They will unlikely accept this kind of content.
It's funny that Shutterstock is accepting editorial videos of some brand logos like sign boards and rejecting photos of them. Try uploading them to Dreamstime, Depositphotos and 123rf instead.

We tried to upload some editorial photos of brands, they all were rejected with the third reason mentioned by you. I don't know exact reason. Some increased legal issues probably. You might be seeing some old ones.

ill let you ask them

i thought the illustrative editorial category they launched a few years back was exactly for that stuff

probably because creating a vector from a scan is the act of actually copying a logo, a photo of a logo is not that

I found out something may be I did wrong .

As mentioned in Shutterstock Editorial Guide
Finally, illustrative editorial images should include the keyword “illustrative editorial”. This will help customers locate these types of images.

I submitted “illustrative editorial” as one keyword.

I think it was wrong , and they are 2 keywords.

I tried submitting again after fixing this , and lets see :)
