User blog comment:Acupunch/What is an object and WHAT IS NOT?/@comment-26429063-20170411115634/@comment-33249681-20170411212528

Logo objects aren't original, it's just using an already established picture and slapping a face on it. Original is something new and not done before. Logos aren't meant to be assets for objects, they are used as symbols to show the company's image, personality, and/or to promote public recognition. So using somebody's use of public recognition could be accidentally interpreted as tainting the company's image which could be lead into potential lawsuits, because some logos aren't royalty free. I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but it COULD one day.

And I also get that these images are royalty free, but if they were to come from some other user that weren't, this could be a problem. I hate recolors: royalty-free or not. It's just a sign of laziness and it makes me sick. Recoloring shouldn't be a trend at all.

And yes, I did make this blog out of frustration of seeing all of these "characters", but also to guide people into the right direction if they ever want to turn character design into a living.
