Title: Do I need permission to sell products with Coin logos? Post by: king718 on December 24, 2017, 07:50:55 AM I have a few coins that I love and made some T-shirts with their logos and my down design incorporated with them. I showed some people and they are interested in buy. Are logos copyrighted or are they public domain? Can I open a shop with products having alt-coin logos on them? or would I need to contact each developer team?

However, I think that the Bitcoin logo is not copyrighted. I AM not sure, though. I doubt that any of the big coins’ logos are copyrighted.

However, it sounds like you want to turn this into a purely commercial venture for monetary gain, in which case the people who own the copyright on those logos would be missing out on revenue unless you license it from them.
