Subject:alert icons - ok to reuse for multiple clients? From:"Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net> To:"TechWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:55:41 -0800
Hello, TechWR-L-ers,
Just wondering about reusing a batch of alert icons (for tip, warning, etc.) that I purchased a while ago from iStockPhoto? I used them for a former clientâs docs and now Iâd like to use them for a different client.
The clients arenât in the same industry, so no worries about competitorâs docs looking the same. And I fully own the icons â purchased them at full price from iStockPhoto.
And really, there are only so many reasonable variations possible for a warning symbol.
But I just thought Iâd check to see if anyone had any reason why I shouldnât do this?
