The logo for ‘JAYNE’S BABY BANK & CHARITY SHOP’ is currently registered under the number UK00003910000. The primary issue here lies in the use of stock imagery. Observe the following:

The image on the left shows the currently used logo, while the image on the right is sourced from Shutterstock.

Shutterstock maintains a strict policy regarding the use of its imagery as a logo or trademark. While Shutterstock offers a royalty-free licensing system, the usage of any image without obtaining the appropriate ‘Exclusive Rights‘ license from the creator invalidates its use for commercial purposes.

Given the absence of clarification or proof of approval from Shutterstock, it is reasonable to assume that the current trademark registered with the Intellectual Property Office remains unlicensed, and therefore, invalid.

As we welcome the new year, our team of designers is pleased to provide you with a royalty-free logo.
