Are the logos on VTuberized Logos official or unofficial?

Updated

They are unofficial. The site describes itself as "a collection of unofficial VTuber-style logos from various brands," so every logo you see there is a fan-made reinterpretation rather than an official brand asset. That means the original brand names and logos still belong to their respective owners, and you should treat the VTuberized versions as fan art — not as something the brand has approved or licensed.

What the site actually is

VTuberized Logos is a gallery of brand logos redrawn in a VTuber-style aesthetic. The page evidence shows entries like 403 Forbidden, 404 Notfound, 418 I'm a teapot, 503 Service Unavailable, ActiveWindows, Android, Angular default old, Arch Linux, ArmoredCore6, Bluesky, Bun default old, C, and more, each credited to an artist such as SAWARATSUKI, murimurikyu, or Aikoyori, with Copy and Download actions.

Two things follow from that structure:

  • The artwork is attributed to individual creators. Credits like @ SAWARATSUKI indicate a specific artist made that reinterpretation, not the brand.
  • The underlying marks are not the site's to give away. A VTuber-style redraw of the Android or Arch Linux logo does not transfer any rights in the original trademark.

Official vs. unofficial at a glance

Question Answer
Does the site claim the logos are official? No — it explicitly says "unofficial"
Who made the VTuber-style versions? Individual fan artists, credited per logo
Who owns the original brand names and logos? Their respective owners
Has the brand approved these versions? No indication of that
Can you assume free commercial use? No — check with the original brand first

If you want to use one

The site offers Copy and Download for each entry, which makes it easy to grab an image. Convenience is not permission, though. Before you use any of these logos — especially commercially, in a product, or in something that implies brand endorsement — do two things:

  1. Identify the original brand behind the logo you want (e.g., Android, Arch Linux, Bluesky).
  2. Check that brand's own trademark or brand-usage guidelines and, if your use is commercial or ambiguous, ask them directly.

For personal, non-commercial, clearly fan-oriented use, the practical risk is usually lower, but that is a general observation about fan art, not a legal guarantee, and it does not override any brand's stated policy.

Common points of confusion

  • "It's on a website, so it must be free to use." The site hosts fan reinterpretations; hosting says nothing about licensing.
  • "The artist credited it, so the artist owns it." The artist may own their redraw, but the underlying brand mark is still the brand's.
  • "It says unofficial, so it's fine." "Unofficial" is a disclaimer, not a license. It tells you the logo is not endorsed — it does not grant you rights.
