there's no mention of trademark or copyright search.

is the one logo guaranteed to be unique?

Guaranteed to be unique, designed by me, I've addressed this in the part mentioning AI and templates.

i saw what you said, i believe what you are saying, but I'm talking about something different: if you independently with no knowledge of other logos, inadvertently, purely by chance, recreate an already existing logo, the person who deploys this logo is liable for trademark and/or copyright infringement.

I'm asking "when does the trademark and copyright search take place, who does it, if it uncovers that your work is not what a court would consider to be "original/unique", then what happens?" I'm expecting you would accept liability, but are you even aware this issue exists? are you at a bare minimum offering a do-over?

it's a mistake to deploy a new logo with no consideration of the intellectual property issues. sure, if you're small, you'll get a cease and desist and you'll switch to a new one. but if you achieve any type of success and are then sued, it's a major headache to deal with.

Absolutely, in the unlikely scenario you have presented, a do-over is definitely the resolution, that goes without saying, will add this clarification on the site. Thank you for your feedback.
