Brand Studio Terms

Read them together with the Terms of Service. The AI Terms also apply to Brand Studio’s AI features.

1. What Brand Studio is

Brand Studio (brand.animatedwebs.com; dev.animatedwebs.com redirects there) helps you make a logo and a brand kit. A built-in design engine makes logo concepts in your browser from common shapes, open-source icons and open fonts. When AI is available, AI features write brand strategy, names and copy and can make images. You can edit designs, compare them, see mockups, open a brand presentation and download a brand pack.

“Brand Design” means one logo design you make in Brand Studio, with its settings. Changing the logo makes it a new Brand Design.

“Brand Pack” means the ZIP file for one Brand Design. Today it includes SVG and PNG logo files, favicons, social media sizes, business card and letterhead print files, brand guidelines, palette and font notes, code tokens, an animated logo (HTML page, animated SVG and GIF), a presentation PDF, and a LICENSES.txt file with credits.

2. Using Brand Studio without an account

You can design, edit, brainstorm and preview without an account. You must be 18 or older. When you click a generate button next to a notice saying that clicking it means you agree, or when you sign in, download or buy, you agree to these terms and the Terms of Service. You must sign in to download a Brand Pack or to buy a download.

3. Your license to your Brand Design

3.1 As between you and us. We claim no ownership of the Brand Designs you make, and the brand names, text and other Input you provide stay yours as between you and us.

3.2 License from us. When you download a Brand Pack with a paid download or an included download, we grant you, for that Brand Design and to the extent we have any rights in it (for example in the layout and composition our engine produced), a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, copy, change, display, print, register (at your own risk, see section 4) and use commercially that Brand Design and the files in that Brand Pack, for your own business or for a client you made it for. You may transfer this license together with the business or brand that uses the design. This license ends only if you did not validly pay for or receive the download (for example after a refund or a chargeback you win), or if we end it because the design itself breaks the Terms or the law.

3.3 Previews. Before you download, you may view and share previews and brand presentation links to evaluate a Brand Design. Commercial use of a Brand Design requires a Brand Pack download.

3.4 No exclusivity. Brand Designs are built from common shapes, open-source icons and open fonts that anyone may use. Other users, and other people outside Brand Studio, may make or receive the same or a similar design. We do not reserve any design for you and do not stop others from using similar designs.

3.5 Copyright limits. Parts made by our engine or by AI may not be protected by copyright, and the shapes, icons and fonts in a design are not exclusive to you. Your own creative changes may be protectable. We do not promise that you can register or enforce any copyright in a Brand Design.

3.6 What stays ours. The Brand Studio engine, its code, rules, templates, mockup scenes, presentation layouts and brand guideline templates belong to us. You may use them as part of your Brand Pack, but not separately as a product, template or tool, and not to build a competing logo maker.

4. Trademarks: you must check before you use

4.1 We do not search, clear or guarantee any trademark. Brand Studio does not search trademark registers, business name registers, domain names, app stores or common-law use, and nothing in Brand Studio is a trademark opinion. A logo, name, slogan or brand made in Brand Studio, including one suggested by AI, may be the same as or confusingly similar to a mark someone else already uses or owns.

4.2 No promise of registrability or distinctiveness. We do not promise that a Brand Design or a name can be registered as a trademark, is distinctive, or will not be refused or opposed. Marks built from common shapes and open icons may be weak or hard to register.

4.3 Your search comes first. Before you use, register, print or launch a Brand Design or a name, you must run your own search (for example on the USPTO trademark search at uspto.gov, state registers, and the registers of every country where you will use it) and you should get advice from a trademark attorney.

4.4 Similarity. AI features and our engine may produce a design or name that resembles a third-party mark or work by chance. We do not review Brand Designs for that. If you learn that a Brand Design conflicts with someone’s rights, stop using it.

4.5 Your responsibility. You are responsible for your choice and use of a Brand Design and a name, and you will cover the AnimatedWebs Parties for claims about them under section 17 of the Terms.

4.6 Complaints from trademark owners. If a trademark owner tells us a design or name made in Brand Studio conflicts with its mark, we may remove share links and presentations for that design and tell the user who made it, where we can. Send complaints through the contact form or hello@animatedwebs.com.

5. Fonts, icons and other third-party parts

5.1 Fonts. Fonts are Google Fonts families under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 or the Apache License 2.0, as listed for each family on the credits page and in LICENSES.txt. The Brand Pack outlines text, so the files need no font installed. If you install or embed a font yourself, you receive it from its authors under its license, not from us. The OFL allows use in commercial products and embedding in documents, but does not allow selling the font files by themselves. The Apache License requires keeping its notice if you redistribute the files.

5.2 Icons. Icons come from Lucide (ISC license), Tabler Icons (MIT license) and Phosphor Icons (MIT license). Only the icons used in your mark are included. These licenses allow commercial use and require that their copyright and license notice stay with copies of the icon files. LICENSES.txt carries those notices; keep it with the files you redistribute.

5.3 Mockups. Mockup scenes are procedural drawings made by AnimatedWebs, with no third-party photos.

5.4 AI images. AI images are made by providers listed in the AI Terms (for example Hugging Face, OpenAI or Google) and are subject to the AI Terms and the provider’s license and policies. AI images are kept on our servers only for a limited time (today about 2 hours).

5.5 Third-party licenses control. For fonts and icons, the licenses named above, not these terms, set your rights, and they are provided by their authors “as is”.

6. Downloads, the $25 purchase and monthly included downloads

6.1 One download. One download is one Brand Pack ZIP for one Brand Design. Downloading the same Brand Design again within 24 hours does not use another download.

6.2 Paid downloads. On a free account a download costs $25 (plus tax where it applies), paid once through Stripe checkout. Each purchase adds one download credit to your account. A paid credit does not expire while your account is open, and it is used only after your included downloads for the month run out. Purchases are one-time payments and do not renew.

6.3 Included downloads. Pro and Lifetime include downloads every month: today 10 a month on Pro monthly, 30 a month on Pro yearly and 50 a month on Lifetime, as shown on the Brand Studio pricing page. Included downloads reset on the first day of each calendar month at midnight UTC and do not roll over. They are part of your plan, have no cash value and end when your plan ends.

6.4 AI limits. Brand Studio AI features have daily limits, with separate daily image limits, as shown on the Brand Studio pages. When limits run out, the built-in engine answers instead. We may change limits under section 2.5 of the Terms.

6.5 Delivery. A download is delivered when the ZIP is made available to you. Download and keep your files. We do not promise to keep Brand Designs or Brand Packs for you, and you are responsible for your own copies.

6.6 Refunds. All Brand Pack purchases are final once the download credit is added to your account, as stated at checkout, except as the Refund Policy says: you were charged twice or by mistake, or you were charged and never received a working download and we could not fix it within 7 days of your report, or a law that cannot be waived requires a refund. A design you do not like after downloading, or a trademark conflict you find later, is not a reason for a refund.

6.7 When credits end. Unused paid credits and included downloads end if we close your account for breach of the Terms, with no refund. If you close your account yourself, unused paid credits end; before we close it we tell you how many unused paid credits you have, so you can use them first.

7. Brand presentations and share links

Brand presentation links can be opened by anyone who has the link. They are set not to be indexed by search engines. Do not share a link you want to keep private.

8. Brand Studio and the Pro API

The logo engine is also available through the Pro API for Pro and Lifetime accounts, under the API Terms. Designs made through the API are Brand Designs under these terms.

9. Disclaimers and limits

Brand Designs, Brand Packs, names, strategies, copy and images are provided “as is” under section 15 of the Terms and section 8 of the AI Terms. The limits on liability in section 16 of the Terms apply. We are not responsible for losses from a trademark, copyright or trade dress dispute about a Brand Design or name, from the cost of rebranding, reprinting or changing domains, or from refusal of a trademark application.

10. Changes

We may change these terms, prices, allowances and limits. Material changes follow section 26.1 of the Terms, and price changes never affect a download already bought.
