Topic: Do I need permission to sell products with Coin logos? (Read 75 times)
Yes, as the other posters have mentioned - it is unlikely you will have problems if you are writing about them (free promotion) or doing something not-for-profit. However, it sounds like you want to turn this into a purely commercial venture for monetary gain, in which case the people who own the copyright on those logos would be missing out on revenue unless you license it from them.
I have a few coins that I love and made some T-shirts with their logos and my down design incorporated with them. I showed some people and they are interested in buy. Are logos copyrighted or are they public domain? Can I open a shop with products having alt-coin logos on them? or would I need to contact each developer team?
You’ll have to research every single logo before using them. However, I think that the Bitcoin logo is not copyrighted. I AM not sure, though. I doubt that any of the big coins’ logos are copyrighted.

If it is copyrighted, you need permission, or you can sued back over many years, raking back everything you ever made in profit.
