You can be an artiste of both music and art in RouteNote 🎨
It’s okay for logos or brand icons to be visible in your artwork, so long as they’re incidental and not a main focus. Examples of this might be:
- Fashion logo visible on a t-shirt someone’s wearing.
- Company logo on buildings in the background of the release artwork.
- Logo on a drinks can the subject of the artwork is holding.
If the logo or brand is a main focus of the artwork, then we’d have to ask you to change it. Examples of this might be:
- A picture of a heavily branded t-shirt against a blank background.
- A company’s logo (e.g. the McDonalds’ logo) on its own.
- A soft drinks can with a clearly visible logo taking up the majority of the image.
Some stores are likely to interpret artwork like this as an image that the artist doesn’t own.
