in your order today.
Please be advised that New Vision Technologies Inc. holds the copyright on
these images and as such, the images cannot be used to create a new mark or
logo that can be trademarked. The images can be used in a logo design, but
copyright is retained by New Vision Technologies for the images themselves.
Derivative works containing these images, such as your logo, cannot be
trademarked. What you have purchased is a royalty free license to use the
