I've read some earlier questions on legal use of clip art and I believe you
can't use it or other media to create a logo. I have just created a logo
using a slightly modified clip art for a university assignment (my artistic
skills are poor and the clip art displayed what I needed my fake company to
represent). As this is a non-commercial enterprise does it fall under the
personal use category or should it still follow the rules for 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....
