The Libre Office software I find user friiendly and very useful. Is it OK to use the Impress Gallery images for such things as business logos on cards etc?

Hi :slight_smile:
I think they are all under a Creative Commons license aren't they? If so
then i think you can use as they are, or modify and either way use or
share.

It might be easier to help if we knew the context of this. The "copyright"
is usually very flexible and even allows usage of materials and designs to
help with profit-making ideas. It's a case of trying to find how to try to
show the copyright label, if possible, but without creating a problem. The
licenses are intended to be permissive rather than restrictive = to
increase the possibilities of getting the images widely distributed and
used in many different contexts.

If it's for just 1 business card then i'd suggest thinking again about the
whole concept of logos, branding and marketing = ie it's best to use the
designs to create your own unique logo and then find a suitable Creative
Commons license to copyright it to prevent your branding from getting too
diluted. It might be good to use the tiny copyright image, if it can fit,
rather than using the full strap-line!

If, on the other hand, it's for some sort of pamphlet to show off layouts
and designs so that customers can imagine their own logo replacing the
images then fine, go ahead = just try to find a place somewhere in the
pamphlet to show that all card-designs are subject to the appropriate
Creative Commons license but you'd only need to do that once for the whole
pamphlet.
