As Judas said, if that's what you're worried about, then I wouldn't release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't matter for me as long as people know that it is yours and they have faith in you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make functions call each other where if you remove this specific wording/coding away, the page no longer works (you can do this for the image, but people can easily just rename an image and match that). Better to do it in words when it comes to keeping credits like this. Some people may feel that designers use too big of logos representing themselves when it comes to free designs. So, I would suggest implementing a smaller logo and just add a small line of words at the bottom saying the design is by you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
