I have sourced three images hat I may consider for use in this project. They are:
Image 1 – To display the logo on a uniform/swim cap/helmet.
Image 2 – To show the logo on equipment i.e water polo ball.
Image 3 – How the logo would appear on a team bus.
How – There is a simple one page registration process, and once you are registered to the site you are eligible to purchase the images that they have available. The purchasing process is via credit/debit cards and you pay directly for the image. Some stock photo websites require you to purchase a set amount of 'credits' with your credit card and then use these credits to purchase the stock image with. With Getty Images this is not the case.
Once the image is purchased it is available for download. All images that are downloaded are compressed JPG files which are smaller file sizes to ensure a faster download speed. A CD of the image at full file size is available upon request. When selecting the size of the image you are wishing to purchase, always ensure that the dimensions of the image are an appropriate size for the intended use of the image. It is advisable to choose a size larger than the required dimensions to allow for rescaling and cropping of the image without losing image quality.
Cost – Once registered to the site the images are available for your purchase. This can be done via Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Each image has a range of sizes available for purchase and as the size of the image increases, so does the price quite steeply. Depending on the size of the image, you could pay anywhere from $10.00 – $1,000.00. The following is a screen capture of the pricing for an image that I may consider for purchase to display the logo on a uniform:

Ts&Cs – There are two types of licensed images that are available for purchase on the Getty Images website. These are 'royalty-free images' and 'rights-managed images'. The uses of the two types of licenses are of great difference.Royalty-free images are only paid for once. Once purchased you can use the image multiple times on multiple projects without paying any additional fees. You cannot, however, use the images in a pornographic, defamatory, libellous or otherwise unlawful fashion. These uses are prohibited.
Rights-managed images have many restrictions in place in regards to specific uses including size, positioning, duration of use and the use of the image in other countries. Extra fees may apply if you wish to use the image for multiple purposes, products or distribute the image to different countries. The 'scope of usage rights granted' will be determined once information is submitted regarding the intended use of the image.

How – All that is needed to register to the site is your email address and a password and you are free to begin selecting fonts for purchase. The font that I have currently selected is FF Jackie. You can view the page for this font here. One you have decided upon a typeface that you like you can view the different buying options available for that particular font. This allows you to select the file format, character set and the number of licenses i.e. number of users who may use the font. The price rises depending on the number of licenses you are purchasing. If multiple users may be using the font, it is ideal to plan ahead and license for potential users to save money in the long run. As the number of licenses sold increases, the price per license reduces. The fonts are available for purchase via Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
Cost – As the number of licenses to be purchased increases, the price per license decreases. For my particular font it would cost me $65 to purchase 'FF Jackie Pro' in the 4 standard weights with the minimum of 5 licenses.
Ts&Cs – If I was to have purchased to typefaces as stated above, the 5 licenses allows for up to five concurrent users to use the font in a single geographic location. This means that all licenses may only be used within the one location i.e place of business.
The license allows for the font to be embedded within documents, applications or devices allowing for the text to be viewed/printed but not edited. If the text was sent to a third party with the ability for the text to be edited an additional license would need to be organised. A digitised copy is allowed to be sent to printers, however if they wish to edit the text they must purchase their own license of the font. You may not lease the font to third parties. If you wish to transfer the license this can be done as long as the recipient agrees to the Ts&Cs in writing and all copies by the previous owner is destroyed.
The software is not to be copied except for personal back-up purposes only. The font must not be modified unless prior written consent is granted.
