KOLCO CLUB · For creators
Submissions are open.Your work, your terms.
The catalogue today is The Doodle Desk’s own production. We are opening it to other designers: submit original vector work, we check and label it, and it joins the releases that AI developers licence. You are paid a share of what each release earns, for as long as it earns.
What stays yours.
KOLCO licenses work; it never buys it. The grant you sign is non-exclusive, revocable for future releases, and specific about what a licensee may and may not do.
What stays yours
- Copyright. You own the work before and after. KOLCO only ever licenses it.
- Every other channel. Sell the same files on your store, on stock sites, to clients.
- The right to withdraw. Pull files from all future releases at any time.
- Category control. Allow illustration but not brand marks. Allow icons but not faces.
- Attribution on request. Be named in the release credits, or stay anonymous.
- A clear ledger. Which release, which files, which buyer, how much.
Submit once. Earn on every release it joins.
Submit
Upload source files in bulk, choose the categories they belong to, and mark anything you do not want licensed.
Review
We check originality, run duplicate and trademark screening, then write and verify the captions, tags and attributes.
Release
Accepted files join a versioned release that AI developers licence non-exclusively.
Earn
You take a share of what each release earns, split by how many of your files it carries, paid monthly.
What creators ask first.
Do creators give up their copyright?
No. You keep full ownership. What you grant is a non-exclusive licence for the work to be included in dataset releases used for model training. You can keep selling, printing and licensing the same files anywhere else, at the same time.
How are creators actually paid?
Each release earns licence revenue. A fixed share of that revenue is distributed across the creators whose files are in the release, weighted by how many of their accepted files it contains. Payouts run monthly, and every line is traceable to a release and a buyer.
Can I remove my work later?
Yes, for anything that has not shipped. Withdrawing removes your files from all future releases and refreshes. Releases already licensed remain valid for their term, because a buyer has already trained on them — that limit is stated plainly in the grant you sign, before you submit.
How do you know a submission is original?
Perceptual hashing against the existing catalogue and known stock libraries, plus trademark and likeness screening and a human review pass on anything flagged. Accounts that submit work they do not own are removed and their files pulled from the next release.
