When you pay someone to design you a logo or do some graphics for your site, do you sign any paperwork?
Scenario: you sponsor a competition on a design site for $100 to design you a logo for your new site.
5 years later your site is number 1 in it's niche, worth £10m and has a national advertising drive going on. (I wish!)
Could the original logo designer have any claims against you for the logo they designed and which you've built a brand on?
I know lots on here do bits of design for each other or use various sites but it all seems very laid back (pm me, send me £10 via paypal etc...). Do you get ensure contracts are drawn?
