Title: Question on Branding
Post by: pauloresende on March 21, 2009, 14:45

Hello every one.

I need some advice. I receive a email on istock that you can read below. What did you think?

"I would like to buy the above illustration for branding purposes. Istock Photo says I must negotiate with you directly. I am not a large company and have a limited budget but if you have a reasonable price that I can afford I would like to purchase this for branding."

You really shouldn't sell your royalty free imagery for logo purposes, as the user would not be able to trademark or "own" it, since there would be other copies floating about the universe.  You could make a similar piece for him, though.

I think you are right!

If the intension is by the rights he will have problems because i already sell that image sometimes!
