Re: Legal use of Clip Art, Creating logo for non-commercial use

You should not use the clips as part of a logo whether it is an organization
or business logo....If it is for a personal assignment for educational use
then it should OK for you to use the clip....

It is best to create an original logo from scratch as it gives a
company,organization a major part of their identity....
