SUPPLEMENTAL LOGO LICENSE RULES
These Supplemental Logo License Rules (“
These Rules”) govern use of a licensed typeface design in one logo or visual identity.
These Rules form part of the Agreement only when the corresponding license type is identified in the Order Confirmation. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings stated in the General Terms. These Rules contain only provisions specific to this licensed use.
L1. Logo License Scope and TermSchrifteria grants the License Owner a worldwide, perpetual License to use the design of each Font Software product identified in the Order Confirmation in one logo or visual identity for one named brand, product, service, event, or project. The licensed identity and brand must be identified in the Order Confirmation or provided to Schrifteria no later than the earliest of delivery of the selected or final mark to the brand owner, any trademark filing or other commercial use, or public launch. A project subject to a nondisclosure obligation may be identified as “Confidential” or “To Be Confirmed” until public launch.
The Logo License belongs to the owner or ultimate beneficiary of the licensed brand. An agency, designer, or other payer may acquire it for that owner only if the owner is identified as the License Owner from the outset. A founder may acquire the License for a new business before formation. After formation, Schrifteria will reissue the License without an additional license fee to the resulting entity for the same brand and identity, provided that the resulting entity accepts the Agreement and the founder permanently deletes any copies that the founder is no longer authorized to retain. The reissuance described in this paragraph is permitted notwithstanding Section 22.2 of the General Terms and does not require a new Logo License or transfer fee.
L2. One Licensed IdentityOne Logo License covers one identity for one brand. It includes horizontal, vertical, compact, monochrome, icon, and animated versions, versions with changing taglines or descriptors, and language or writing-system versions, provided all are variants of the same identity for the same brand.
Each independent brand, product, service, event, or temporary project requires a separate Logo License. Each separate Font Software product used in the identity also requires a separate Logo License, even if the products are combined in one logo. The number of concepts or internal design iterations considered before the final identity is selected does not affect the number of licenses.
L3. Desktop License Required for Font Software AccessThe Logo License does not grant any right to install, open, or otherwise directly access the Font Software. Any Authorized Person who installs or directly accesses the Font Software to create, revise, produce, or maintain the licensed logo, including the outline modifications described in Section L5, must be covered by a Desktop License, whether the License Owner’s own Desktop License or the Desktop License of an agency, designer, or other service provider engaged to produce the logo. Section D3 of the Supplemental Desktop License Rules governs exploratory logo concepts and internal design work performed under a Desktop License before a Logo License is obtained.
The Logo License grants only the rights described in Sections L4, L5, and L7 to use, reproduce, revise, and display the finished licensed logo. It does not, by itself, authorize any person to install or use the Font Software.
L4. Permitted Use of the Finished LogoThe License Owner may reproduce and display the finished licensed logo without media, territory, quantity, or circulation limits, including on websites, applications, social media, advertising, video, packaging, merchandise, signage, stationery, and other physical or digital media.
Business partners, distributors, retailers, manufacturers, printers, and other service providers may receive and reproduce only the finished logo for the License Owner’s authorized purposes without obtaining their own Logo License, provided they do not receive the Font Software. The finished logo may be placed as a locked, non-editable element in templates when no Font Software is embedded or uploaded and users cannot alter the typography.
The logo may be technically adapted for production and different media, including scaling, color conversion, animation, and other changes that do not materially change its identity.
L5. Logo Design ModificationsAn Authorized Person covered by a Desktop License under Section L3 may use the Font Software to convert text to outlines and modify individual letterforms solely to create or revise the licensed logo. Once the text or letterforms have been converted to outlines, any Authorized Person may revise, adapt, or produce the resulting outlined artwork for the licensed logo without needing to be covered by a Desktop License, provided that person does not install, open, or otherwise access the Font Software.
The License also permits (a) letterforms to be manually redrawn or reproduced from the design of the licensed typeface and (b) an unchanged individual letter to be used as the logo or principal mark, provided, in each case, that any access to the Font Software used to create or reproduce the letterform is by a person covered by a Desktop License under Section L3.
The Font Software itself may not be modified. An ornamental graphic supplied within the Font Software may not be used unchanged as a standalone or dominant mark. It may be used as a secondary element, and a substantially transformed use may be permitted if it remains part of the licensed identity; uncertain or complex uses require Schrifteria’s written approval.
L6. Excluded Typography and UsesThe Logo License covers only the finished licensed identity. It does not authorize live text, slogans, headings, layouts, marketing typography, website text, application interfaces, or other typography outside that fixed identity. Those uses require the applicable Desktop, Web, App, or custom terms.
The Logo License does not authorize use of the Font Software in an editable template, end-user authoring tool, font library, or any other product or service that permits a third party to create new typography.
L7. Trademark Filings and No Assurance of ProtectionThe License Owner may apply to register and may register the licensed logo as a trademark, service mark, design mark, or other source identifier without additional approval or license fees from Schrifteria.
Permission under this License to use or register the licensed identity as a trademark does not constitute a representation or warranty that the identity is unique, registrable, available for use, noninfringing, protectable, or entitled to trademark or other legal protection. The License Owner is responsible for clearance, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and enforcement of its rights in the finished logo.
L8. Rights in the Finished Work and Portfolio UseThese Rules address only Schrifteria’s rights in the Font Software and the License Owner’s permission to use the typeface design in the licensed logo. They do not determine ownership of the finished artwork or allocate rights between the License Owner and its designer, agency, employees, or contractors; those matters must be addressed in their separate agreements.
After public launch, a designer or agency may display the finished logo in its portfolio with the License Owner’s permission and attribution identifying the typeface and Schrifteria. The License Owner is not required to provide public attribution in its ordinary use of the logo.
L9. Company-Size TierThe initial Logo License tier is determined on the purchase date by the size of the License Owner or, where another person or entity owns the licensed brand, the brand owner. For an organization, size includes full-time, part-time, and temporary employees and individual contractors who regularly function as members of the owner’s team. For an individual License Owner that is not an organization, the individual counts as one person, together with any employees and qualifying contractors. The applicable tier and fee are stated in the Order Confirmation.
Ordinary growth after purchase does not, by itself, require a tier change, additional payment, or a new Logo License.
L10. Redesigns and Later GrowthThe License Owner may redesign or materially revise the same identity without purchasing a new Logo License if the same brand, the same License Owner, and the same licensed Font Software product remain involved. Ordinary format variants and technical adaptations do not trigger a tier review.
At the time of a later rebranding or material redesign, company size will be measured again. If the License Owner has moved into a higher Logo License tier, it must pay the positive difference between the fee previously paid for the Logo License and Schrifteria’s then-current fee for the applicable higher tier at the time of the rebranding or material redesign. If it remains in the same tier, no additional payment is required. After any required difference is paid, the existing perpetual Logo License continues; a new license is not required.
L11. Name Changes, Transfers, and MergersA change in the name or legal form of the same License Owner does not require a new Logo License. A transfer of the brand or identity to a different legal entity, including through a sale or merger, is not automatic and requires Schrifteria’s prior written approval under the General Terms. Ordinary growth of the same License Owner is not a transfer.
L12. Cancelled and Unused ProjectsSubject to Section 8 of the General Terms, a Logo License purchased for a specific brand or project remains tied to that licensed identity, even if the project is canceled or the logo is never launched. The Agreement provides no automatic refund, credit, substitution, or transfer to another brand. Schrifteria may, at its discretion, offer a replacement or other accommodation, but doing so creates no obligation or precedent.
L13. Effect of Termination for BreachUpon termination of the Logo License for breach:
a) the License Owner’s right to use the Font Software to create, revise, or materially redesign the licensed identity terminates;
b) the License Owner is not required to cease use of the finished logo lawfully created under the Logo License before termination unless Schrifteria’s termination notice expressly states otherwise based on willful infringement or unauthorized use of the Font Software or typeface design; and
c) nothing in this Section L13 limits Schrifteria’s remedies for willful infringement, unauthorized use, or other conduct falling within Section 14.8 of the General Terms.
