Your View on Logos

I see so many sites with logos and branding of the big G and Yahoo etc...and was wondering what the rules are around this.

The "As Seen" credibility piece with the logos really works (in my eyes) and I want to put it on my sales page - but would I get into hot water with it?

    Effectively it's saying "As seen on search engines" isn't it? I've asked Bob Silber - internet law attorney - about this before and his opinion is that you're just asking for trouble from the FTC. But that was for pages purporting to be featured on The New York Times, CNN, Guardian, Fox News, Mickey Mouse Club Newsletter etc.

    This little trick seems to be "par for the course" with Clickbank pages. Personally I find it irritating and scammy - but I'm not the target audience.

    • I agree. It is all about trade marks and copy rights and the law. You can get into hot water if you use someones logo to promote your business with out their consent. And, it is misleading. Proceed with caution. You don't want to ruin your good reputation and future income for quick buck now. It may cost you more in the end.
