Public Domain Clip Art Images


To some people it might sound like an impossibility but web is so full of stuff with no copyright restrictions. Web is also full of ideas that you can copy, modify and build upon with all the legal rights and no copyright infringement. For graphic designers, logo design and web design professionals there are some online collections that are not only free but also offer graphics in public domain. 

OpenClipArt is one such project. This project aims to create an archive of clip art that can be used for free for any use. The usage of the name is to convey connection to Open Source software and culture. Also, the word conveys the concept of the project lowering barriers for participation for submission of artwork, development on the project, use of the site and use of the clip art stored. 

How logo design artists can use these illustrations?
Since all these illustrations and graphics are in public domain, logo design artists can download them and modify them to reuse in their own project. The best part is that most of these images are available in SVG format which means you have the actual source of work on which to build upon your own designs.
