Question about BF symbol?  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone! I am new here so I hope it's ok to jump in I see that we can download the new breastfeeding symbol in jpg format. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if its ok to make our own shirts using the symbol download? I would love to send the .jpg to our local t-shirt shop and have them do a bulk order for me. My thinking would be to donate many shirts to the IBCLC at our local hospital. I have come to know her well, and think she would appreciate it. I would love to do something to help promote breastfeeding awareness in our small town. I bought one of the mothering shirts with the symbol for my son, but I can't afford to buy a bulk order of those and also they do say "mothering magazine" on the back and I don't know if the hospital would aprove of those, since it may be considered advertising? even though they openly advertise for formula companies, but that's a whole other thread

I would appreciate any thoughts. I don't want to do something "illegal" Thanks everyone!

That sounds like a great thing to do. The symbol is NOT copyrighted and is part of the public domain:

Great! Thanks so much! I am going to look into a quote. I would really like to do this for our community, even if I can only donate a few shirts.
