So we use this company to do a logo design for us in 2015. They were very disorganized, produced sub par work initially, but seemed to make good on it after a push....all and all, happy with the result.

Fast forward to yesterday, January 10th, 2017, when at around 5:30 pm est my business partner gets this email:

Hello,

I hope you find this email in a good condition, I believe you remember signing up for a project "EZCR Financial Inc" and you got the

final logo done from branded logo designs this email was to inform you that your ownership rights over the logo has been

expired so please call me to get the ownership on your name or renew it. 

Name: David Myer

Number: 5102807546

 

Regards,         

David Myer| Sr. Account Manager

Branded Logo Designs

(P) 5102807546 |  (E) XXXXX@brandedlogodesigns.com

(W) brandedlogodesigns.com

 

Called and spoke with David, who informed me that there was no agreement that stated this, but it was just their policy...now keep in mind, we gave him the color combination and basic idea, and he finalized a very, very simple logo consisting of font/type only.

Now just to be sure that our development team, who does software development and reads legal agreements for approval on a regular schedule, may have missed. Here are the "Terms" pulled off their website today:

c. Ownership Rights of Artwork.

i. Subject to your compliance with these TOU, you shall own the Final Product. You shall not, however, own any materials, media or other content generated during any revision cycles leading up to the Final Product, and we expressly reserve all right, title and interest in and to the same. We retain the rights to all artwork concepts and other content not selected by you.

ii. You acknowledge that your ownership rights under this agreement are limited to the Final Product, and that no trademarks or service marks in or to any Final Product are being conveyed under this agreement. d. Your Finalized Design Work

We do not guarantee that your logo will not have similarities to those designed by us for our other customers. Apart from your logo as a whole, you obtain no right or claim of any kind to any individual design element or elements of the logo and we reserve the right to use one or more of the design elements in other projects for other customers.

*******************************************************************************************************

So needless to say, after David repeated on our call that my options were to stop using OUR logo, or pay them to renew our "rights" to use it, I kindly disagreed and ended the call.

Unfortunately, many business owners, cash strapped entrepreneurs looking for a budget option for design, and consumers may fall prey to these deceptive low life practices, so I wanted to be sure this was shared far and wide on every platform I could find.
