I’ve been approached by a new client because they are unsatisfied with the logo that was done for them. However, they want to keep the colors and the design… My guess is the problem is in the execution more than in the elements of the image itself and it would be a quick job, fixing the type, kerning, tweaking colors, etc.
However, I am concerned that simply reproducing someone else’s work to make it look better might cause copyright issues. Obviously, the client has paid for the logo but does the author retain some copyright and could I get in trouble by undertaking this project?
Answer
If the client has done it right – they are an owner of the work. The author still has the rights of authorship (don’t know how to translate it correctly).
In any case, if you even rework and fix stolen work – there should be no issues for you – you DON’T use the original work.
