What type of font license do you need for a logo?
You’d typically buy the standard license. With a few exceptions, most commercial fonts allow you to use it as you see fit. If there is an exception, you’ll see it in the license. Do note, however, that the font you decide to use for your logo is not typically also used for everything else.
Should I copyright my logo or trademark it?
