Can you print a logo or character I don't own?

Only with the owner's permission. We don't print a logo, character, or artwork that belongs to someone else, like a team logo, a cartoon character, or another company's brand, unless its owner has said yes. Hateful or illegal content is refused outright.

By the Stickymade team · Updated

Only if the owner has given you permission. Logos, characters, and artwork belong to whoever created or registered them, and we don't print copyrighted artwork without the owner's permission, even for a small personal order. This is general guidance, not legal advice. When in doubt, ask the owner.

What usually needs permission

  • Sports team, college, and league logos. Schools and leagues usually license them through a licensing or marketing office.
  • Cartoon, film, TV, anime, and game characters.
  • Other companies' logos and brand names, including a brand you love or sell.
  • Band logos and album art.
  • Fan art. Drawing a character yourself doesn't change who owns the character.
  • Photos and artwork found online, on Pinterest, Etsy, or a search engine. The photographer or artist owns them.
  • AI images that copy anything above. See AI-generated artwork.

What's usually fine

  • Your own work, and logos for a business you own or are ordering for.
  • Artwork you commissioned, used the way your agreement allows. If the agreement is unclear, ask the designer.
  • Stock images and fonts you've licensed, within the license. Some licenses need an extended license for products you'll sell, so check yours if the stickers are for resale.

Getting permission

Ask the owner, or the office that licenses their marks, for written permission covering stickers. If a design is licensed to you, say so when you order, and keep the written permission somewhere you can find it.

Content we won't print

We refuse hateful or illegal content, whoever owns it. See what we won't print.

If we can't print your order

If an order comes in with artwork we can't print, we'll offer to print it with different artwork, or refund you if you'd rather.

If you have no artwork of your own

We can design something original for you. See what our design help covers, or start with the Custom Designed Sticker.
