Generally, GIF files are used for logos, line drawings, and icons. It is one of the most popular image formats on the internet particularly since images upload quickly even through the slowest modems.

Copyright for ICONS: None. Must agree to ‘Terms of Use’.

Within ‘Latest News’ on my MOODLE site, I provided icons that linked students to free software programs. Depending on the student’s computer software capabilities, they may have to download these programs. The ICONS provided were free; however there were certain specific restrictions imposed. A synopsis of the Adobe’s Terms of Use is presented,

(Please note: Though the Terms of Use are for Adobe, each icon had similar expectations.)

1. You may only display the web logo on your website, and not in any other manner.

2. It must always be an active link to the Adobe Reader product page or the Adobe Reader download page on Adobe’s official website or an Adobe authorized Adobe Reader software download page on a company intranet or local network.

3. The web logo must appear by itself, with a minimum spacing (the height of the web logo) between each side of the web logo and other graphic or textual elements on your web page.

4. You may not alter the web logo in any manner, including size, proportions, colors, elements, etc., or animate, morph, or otherwise distort its perspective or appearance.

5. Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and may not be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Adobe, any of its products, or any other person or entity. You may not link to Adobe.com from a website that is obscene or pornographic, or disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Adobe or any of its products.
