Gallery Examples

Some of the gallery examples are derived from Copyrighted materials, but whose usage is protected under the Copyright Fair Use doctrine. See an official explanation or a easy-to-understand explanation by Wikipedia. In particular, Tagxedo (1) extensively transforms the original material with new expression, meaning, and message, (2) does not in any way harm the copyright owner's market or the potential market of the original, (3) borrow only a small amount (De Minimis) of information (shape outlines) from the original, and (4) all materials are published and readily available and hence the element of first public revelation does not come into play. Nonetheless, Tagxedo fully respects copyrights, and please notify if you believe there is any copyright violation.

Icons

Some of the social media icons are from the excellent Free Social Media Icon Set: Chrome collection by Chris Wallace.
