    no

    ;)

    if you want to be 100% legal you have to create/paint your own not existing drink's logos...

    You'll have to check to see if the names are trademarked. Your best bet is to contact the company directly and see what they say.

    I just spent some time reading some Terms of Use legal stuff at one clipart company I found that I was going to buy some artwork from to create some buttons and found that their terms of use DOES NOT allow the use of said clip art in any type of software. After reading the same at iStockphoto I think it is the same for them as well. I have sent them an email for clarification and will let everyone know the answer I get back from them.

    No one wants to get caught in some crazy copyright battle and nor should we be using other people's work without permission so we have to be careful.

    Just wanted to share that with everyone. By the way I am not a lawyer so who knows if I read the dang thing correctly or not :-)

    Ah. That makes sense. Gosh I found 2 PERFECT buttons I wanted to use arghhhhhh :-) oh well. I might be able to make them myself or have a friend draw them for me.

    I am so GLAD I took the time to read that 'Terms of Use' page!
