If this was accurate and legal, it would be super useful. I've worked on countless projects where the client was some large company and needed their official logo on a product. It often takes them a surprising amount of time to dig around and get the logo in its official form.
IANAL, but how is this possibly legal? Assuming it is magically legal, how do we know that the logos are accurate and not just some random person on the internet redrawing the logo from a bad scan?
This is also missing the info which would be in official branding guidelines around the exact PMS colors, and any whitespace requirements. Ideally there would be PMS numbers and sRGB values for each color. In addition to SVG and PNG, exporting in EPS and DXF would be helpful.
- sudden_dystopia 4y agoAs far as I know, It’s only illegal if you reuse them for commercial purposes. Granted, that is most use cases. But if I wanted to say make a sports team logo vinyl sticker for my own car, that is legal.
- goalie 4y agoThe typical Fair Use exceptions apply. The primary concern is typically: does it appear that the company using the logo endorses the company represented by the logo? I'd argue here that it doesn't, but would I risk a lawsuit on it?

I can't help thinking that if you care about exact colors and spacing you wouldn't be downloading the logo from a website like this one.
