I noticed that many designs being submitted to us have either product images or logos. This is the first time we've ever had a banner designed so I don't know if this presents a copyright issue.
My original thought was to leave these images out and either add some of the text such as product categories in place of it or either do some other type of graphical design but honestly I like the look of these product images so don't want to leave them out.
I have contacted our attorney just this evening to get feedback on this and ask about any legal issues in the US or elsewhere with doing this so I will post back once I get his response.
If it does create any type of issue we may see if we can be more general with any product images such as showing a smartphone or tablet but don't make it clear what brand it is but again I am happy with the images that have been used in most cases so only want to make changes if necessary and I will be posting once I find out more information on that.
Many of the drafts we are receiving mention the areas we specialize in such as Retro Gaming but don't mention our product categories.
Our product categories are:
Audio/Video Accessories (can be abbreviated A/V)
Video Games & Accessories
Computer Accessories
Mobile Device Accessories
If possible we'd like these added to our banners. This may even be more important than the specialties but we really don't want to leave those out either. I don't want the banner to be too cluttered.
I have an idea that may save on space when adding these categories and also allows for some creativity. In general we sell accessories for mobile phones, video gaming, computers, and audio/video products and not the actual products such as laptops, smartphones, game consoles, etc. The only thing that we do sell though is we do sell actual video games. I am wondering since the word accessories is used so much if somehow that can be placed on the banner and then the words A/V, Video Game, Computer, and Mobile Device could somehow be worked into that but that accessories is only used once. Since we also sell video games though I'd want that somehow added.
Thank you for all the great drafts that are coming in and I appreciate everyone's time and work.
