You can be an artiste of both music and art in RouteNote.
It’s okay for logos or brand icons to be visible in your artwork, so long as they’re incidental and not a main focus. Examples of this might be:
- Fashion logo visible on a t-shirt someone’s wearing.
- Company logo on buildings in the background of the release artwork.
- Logo on a drinks can the subject of the artwork is holding.
If the logo or brand is a main focus of the artwork, then we’d have to ask you to change it. Examples of this might be:
- A picture of a heavily branded t-shirt against a blank background.
- A company’s logo (e.g. the McDonalds’ logo) on its own.
- A soft drinks can with a clearly visible logo taking up the majority of the image.
Some stores are likely to interpret artwork like this as an image that the artist doesn’t own.
