I'm fairly certain that all those logos in their are copywritten and thus illegal for you to stick on socks and sell.



Is it possible to get a copyright on a logo? I thought it wasn't and hence the reason for Trademarks. Still illegal, just curious.


A specific logo design is as protected as any other original image you can create. That logo can contain words or shapes that are protected by trademark. They're not mutually exclusive protections.
