What are the ramifications of using stock images to create a company logo?

Don't forget to sign up for the BloggerLinkUp, which has great blogs in a variety of niches. I used MyBlogGuest for awhile but it's a lot of sorting to find worthy sites to post on.  Worth a look, though. Thanks for Sourcebottle Kealey - I'll take...
