How it works?
Examples of Graphic Designers Insurance in action
An illustration
A graphic designer recently completed work on a new logo and brand identity for a major client. Unfortunately, it transpired that she had accidentally conceived a new identity that was very similar to a firm that operated in Spain and Portugal. This meant that an entirely new brand identity and set of logos had to be created and many assets had to be replaced. This is when Professional Indemnity Insurance was there to cover the costs that had arisen from a genuine and unintentional breach of copyright.
