i don't comment often on this board, but this one's a pet peeve - when you work as a graphic designer, i.e. designing logos for people, you are NOT creating a piece of art that you own rights to and can charge for usage. what you ARE doing is called 'work-for-hire', and it means that once you've been paid, it's not yours anymore.
there is a BIG difference between photography/illustration and design, although both photography and illustration can also be done as work for hire.
a lot of you would benefit a great deal from actually talking with a lawyer (if you're working on your own), or talking with people who have a better handle on the difference between 'graphic designer' and 'artist'.
