This vector of old cameras had been rejected for trademark problems, details is :Contains potential trademark or copyright infringement.

but I have no idea where is the trademark or logo appear at vector?

So anyone here might help me to find out the problem, or give me some tips for avoid this problem.

thanks a lot!!!!

I had images of old SLR camera and some lenses in my portfolio, but few months ago they were deleted by SS and they told me not to resubmit them because of trademark problem. There were not any letters or signs so I guess the problem is camera by itself.

Also 3d images of cell phone were rejected for same reason, but I resubmitted them with note that it is my own design, not copy of iphone or smth, and they were accepted.

Yes, if there are any trademark problems with any old camera, they sould:

1、tell us the detail of this trademark problems, so we can avoid these.

2、make some statements that SS did not want these kinds of photo or vector anymore.

Otherwise, our submiters are still spent time and energy to doing these, or keep modifying their work to avoid trademark problems.

but the end all these is nothing......

I think the trademark problem is in the product design, not in any logo or word in it. You know products design also has its copyright. It's for the same reason that if you draw an iphone for example, you'll get rejected.

Just modify them slightly and submit with a note saying these are your designs and do not represent any real camera make
