Who keeps the rights of the created logo design?

The ownership rights of a created logo design typically depend on the terms of the agreement between the designer and the client. Here’s how it is usually handled:

1. Client Ownership:
   In most cases, once the client pays for the logo design, they receive full ownership rights. This includes the right to use, modify, or reproduce the logo without restriction. Designers often include a clause in their contracts that transfers all rights to the client upon final payment.
2. Designer Retention of Rights:
   Some designers may retain certain rights, such as the ability to showcase the logo in their portfolios or use it as a sample of their work. This is generally considered standard practice in the design industry and does not infringe on the client’s usage rights.
3. Clarifying Rights in the Contract:
   To avoid confusion, it’s important to clearly define the ownership and usage rights in the contract or agreement before work begins. This should specify whether the client will have exclusive rights and whether the designer retains any usage rights for promotional purposes.

At Rami Maki Company, we ensure that the terms regarding logo ownership are clear and transparent, giving our clients confidence in the usage of their new logo. Upon project completion and payment, the rights are transferred to the client, while we may retain the right to display the logo in our portfolio unless otherwise agreed.
