    Hello DP fellows,

    I wonder what source of photos or illustrations you use when creating websites, logos etc.
    I am looking for some good and free or unexpensive illustration works and photos that are applicaple also for commercial use.
    Can someone help?

    Yes, thnx, I gave it a try, but the images are not really free to use.
    Here is quote from the standard image restriction:

    You may not use the Image

    * ........
    * As part of a trademark, service mark or logo.
    * SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS!

    So probably I should start to make vectors myself, but it seems too much effort for a logo that people sell over here from $4.99 to $30.

    glitto, Ive already checked istockphoto, but those cant be used for logos upon standard license.
    Fotolia seems not to have such restriction, but they state: "You need to write the copyright provided by Fotolia for all your uses"
    How do I write copyright into a logo - kinda dont get this....
    And you are probably using it only when creating websites not logos - am I right?
