Reasons to Copyright a Newly Created Business Logo Imagine spotting your own creative design on the billboards with some other name attached to it. Call it plagiarism or your folly, you just lost your design to a corporate behemoth. Saddening as it is, you could have always avoided it, had you put in a little effort and copyrighted it. But then, you were always reluctant to taste the legal waters, even if it cost you your own designs. Today, the concept of copyright has changed completely as more and more people are trying to protect their creative efforts through trademarks and copyrights.
Things to Consider Before Copyrighting Your Logo You come across thousands of logos every day and if you want your design to not live, but thrive successfully in this competitive world of business, getting a copyright is the way to go. First things first. For a logo to get a copyright, it has to meet a certain level of creativity. In the world of design and creative freedom, a copyright is much more complicated than in other fields. Copyright cannot be done of a design, text or color of a logo, which is why the logo has to be extremely unique and a singular piece of work. Most ornate and illustrative designs can qualify for a copyright due to their unique nature.
