The Legalities of Canva
What About Canva?
Canva has taken graphic design and made it accessible to everyone, no matter their skill level.
Who It’s For…
- Non-designers who still want to create visually appealing, quality content
- People who don’t have the time to learn complex programs like Photoshop
- People with devices that cannot support heavy programs like Photoshop- these programs can take up massive amounts of storage, and bog down your device
What About the Legalities?
Via Canva:
If you’d like to create logos on Canva that you can register as a trademark, there are two ways you can go:
In creating a unique logo in Canva from scratch, you can use basic lines and shapes from our Free library. You can also use all of our fonts.
However, you cannot use stock content (e.g. photos and graphics) as we only provide a non-exclusive license to this content. Elements in a logo need to be exclusive to you. Other Canva users are free to use the same content, which means that using stock content for your logos isn’t suitable for use in a trademark.
Learn more about Canva’s licenses here in Licensing explained.
You can upload your own logo design to Canva. This might be a logo you designed yourself or one you commissioned a graphic designer to create for you.  After uploading your logo, you can use Canva to create branded collateral for your business, like social media content, business cards, flyers, and so much more.
So…what does that even mean?
