Did you see an image and wonder, "that would look great on a shirt"? How do you know if printing the design is forbidden? Before we can answer that, you need to know that copyright infringement is when someone, in the case of print on demand, reprints copyright-protected material without the copyright holder's expressed permission. The copyright law help ensure the owner of the design receives compensation for their work.
We've come up with a general guide to help clarify what we do not allow:
No famous political images, including cartoon representations
No photos, parodies, or other artwork representing a celebrity
No phrases, quotes, verses, or sayings that you didn't write
No logos, mottoes, or names
No sports team, club, college, or organization logos
No images from platforms such as Google images, Flickr, or Instagram
No movie or TV series logo, name, or image
No comic or cartoon personalities or representations
No images from memes
