How do you search the web to make sure your design isn't already used by someone?

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone has any tips about this issue...

When you create a design, how do you make sure that your idea isn't already used by an existing brand?

Is there a more efficient way than just searching relevant keywords on google?

Thanks!

Google's reverse image search or tineye.com are good places to start, but not always 100% reliable

Another thing to do is be creative with the image searches,

use different key words for example you are creating a logo for for a dentist, use key words like dentist, teeth, tooth, mouth, smile use as many key words as you can think of. and use the key words with logo and without can even use the key words plus clipart or keyword plus vector

Type in the industry you are creating the logo for and see what comes up.

If the design you are creating uses elements that are over used type in logo art, logo elements...better yet ...do not use over used ideas and elements

If you are creating a design using a letter, type in the letter +logo or letter plus art or vector things like that

You can also click the camera on google image search and upload your image and see what comes up.....
