: When doing logo design, how to deal with the license of the font used? I have bought a bundle of fonts which I want to use in a logo design for a client. The terms and conditions state

@RJPawlick971

Logo aren't typically delivered to clients as fonts. It's not live, editable text but rather the outline of the particular text. So there's no need to transfer the font files along with the logo itself. If, for whatever reason, the client wants or needs a copy of the font, yes, they'd need to purchase a license for it.

On first read, I also share Zach's opinion...it sounds like you can use the fonts as part of a logo but not as the logo. Which is admittedly rather odd. It's also open to interpretation as while the logo may be pure text, the logo itself is usually part of a larger design. I'd email the type foundry for clarification on that.

As it says right there in the conditions, you can use it in the logo as long as the text using the font is not the only part of the logo. Something must be added or removed.


The resources must be used with in a wider design though, and not comprise the entire design


And, of course, you can only provide images using it, not the font file itself.
