Using Pink Floyd on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Pink Floyd's prism/rainbow logo from The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall imagery, and the band name are all protected trademarks. Album artwork is particularly recognizable and actively enforced.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic vintage Pink Floyd merchandise, vinyl, or memorabilia
  • Use "Pink Floyd" in tags only for genuine licensed or vintage products
  • Create original music-themed artwork that does not reproduce band logos or imagery
  • Sell handmade items inspired by a musical genre without using the artist or band name

What You Cannot Do

  • Reproduce Pink Floyd logos, album art, or likenesses on unlicensed merchandise
  • Use Pink Floyd in listing titles or tags for items that are not authentic merchandise
  • Sell fan-made items that feature the band or artist name, logo, or imagery
  • Claim or imply endorsement or licensing from Pink Floyd or their management

Safe Alternatives

  • Create original music-themed artwork using generic imagery (guitars, notes, vinyl)
  • Use genre terms (e.g., "classic rock", "metal") instead of band or artist names
  • Design original concert or festival-inspired items without referencing specific artists
