Having been denied, I have taken down the page with the logo. My other request(which was granted) was also answered as fast with clear instructions on how to display the content. I can't help but wonder if Squarespace has such permissions. If not, am I in violation for posting their versions of the images? The logo was a pretty clear violation. But I must wonder if others, who are even less familiar with issues concerning brand permissions, might be using those logos. I have to say it now. I use Squarespace for all my sites. It's just awesome. They have made it easy for me to focus on making the content. Content generation is still the hardest part of blogging and we must make it a point to use other's content wisely and with permission. Something in my gut tells me that I am violating some agreement right now. If I am, another post. The term "Squarespace" is a trademark of Squarespace, Inc.

My logo is a bit silly but it gets a chuckle here and there. I recently decided to change it to something more appropriate for an agency. I have a team now, a Google Partner Badge and a hankerin to get serious. It is an easy process. Enter a business name and tagline, then select from the available images. You can search for images for things like: consultant, designer, cowboy, etc. The selection is limited to basic shapes but they are just what you need when you don't know what you need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b61721e4b078c586ea478a/1432698885387-VJVYFDCOR25MWHAMPF1W/image-asset.png Blog - Some Squarespace Logos Violate Google Policy Now that I am doing more than just Adwords and SEO, I began typing in various services: social media, marketing, business listings, maps, etc. I noticed that some of the available icons looked a lot like Google icons. Having just submitted a successful brand permission request(documented in my next post) to Google, I figured it wouldn't hurt to confirm my suspicions before I blog about it. I downloaded the logo, posted it to an unlinked page on my site(a URL is required for your request to be considered), then submitted my request. http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/2015/5/22/learning-adsense monthly 0.5 2015-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b61721e4b078c586ea478a/1432350597853-0N9UH3DOIZU6WPGWHBA7/nocontent Blog - Content Comes First Descriptive branding and menus wont do it either(not that I even did that yet). You can think symbolic logos and catchy tag lines will help. Nope. Those will change too. Content is still the only way to move forward. Kinda funny that I'm the one to drop the ball. My feet are up and the humble pie ain't bad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b61721e4b078c586ea478a/1432348517219-BNA718FZ13LCGAG9EE05/notapproved Blog - Content Comes First Monetizing your site is a broad subject for another post, but for this site, I decided to sign up for Google Adsense. I have been wanting to learn Adsense to expand my service offerings as well so a win-win. But as this is my second post, there is no way for anyone to know what I'm really blogging about. Not even Google. http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/2015/5/22/google-partners monthly 0.5 2015-05-22 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/category/blogging monthly 0.5 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/tag/mobile+blogging monthly 0.5 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/tag/blogging monthly 0.5 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/tag/squarespace+blog monthly 0.5 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/blog-native/tag/google+maps monthly 0.5 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/new-cover-page daily 0.75 2021-05-28 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/thank-you daily 0.75 2015-09-08 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/contact daily 0.75 2015-06-06 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/about-native daily 1.0 2016-11-10 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/my-analytics daily 0.75 2015-08-25 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/currentpressures daily 0.75 2016-01-03 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/calendar daily 0.75 2015-11-05 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/test1 daily 0.75 2016-01-03 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/set-pressures daily 0.75 2016-01-03 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/analytics daily 0.75 2016-01-14 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/hydra-works daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/mid-city-business-association daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/archer-chiropractic daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/holmes-motors daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/hairloft daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/clear-the-clutter daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/abc-title daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/new-orleans-chamber-of-commerce daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/tonti-management daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/center-lift-1 daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/my-clients-1 daily 0.75 2016-01-23 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/readerfeeder daily 0.75 2016-09-22 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/booking daily 0.75 2021-05-28 http://www.andrewraysanders.com/pageed daily 0.75 2021-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53b61721e4b078c586ea478a/1622229339434-VMZK9MRDBV71MF00SECS/00_homepage.jpg ed - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.andrewraysanders.com/tests daily 0.75 2015-12-28
