How Should You Credit Unique Live Wallpaper If You Choose To?

Credit is optional. If you want to name Unique Live Wallpaper, write one factual sentence and link uniquelivewallpaper.com in the same style this site uses for outbound motion links: nofollow, noopener, new tab in HTML. Do not invent a joint copyright, an "official art" claim, or a required-byline that the license does not ask for.

This page is wording. Whether to credit at all is the decision. Most client decks should stay silent. Case studies, talks and internal servers are where a line helps.

Words that stay true

Use a short line that names the still, the host, and the related motion site only if you actually mentioned motion.

Good, still only:

• Background plate from microstock-mikhail.com. Related designs: Unique Live Wallpaper.
• 4K still: Microstock Mikhail. Motion version: Unique Live Wallpaper.
• Plate sourced from microstock-mikhail.com (free commercial still, attribution not required).

Good, when the audience saw motion:

• Still from this archive; animated version at uniquelivewallpaper.com.
• Motion: Unique Live Wallpaper. Still used in this deck: Microstock Mikhail.

In HTML, the Unique Live Wallpaper URL should look like the Markdown this site already turns into a safe outbound link: Unique Live Wallpaper. Rendered, that is rel="nofollow noopener" and target="_blank". On a site you control, copy that rel. Do not make the motion site a followed endorsement link in a product nav.

Bad lines, do not use:

• © Unique Live Wallpaper / Your Agency 2026. You do not share copyright by placing a plate.
• Used with permission. You did not negotiate a permission email. You used a public license.
• Official artwork of Unique Live Wallpaper, all rights transferred. False.
• CC BY Unique Live Wallpaper. This archive is not a CC BY grant. Do not relabel it.
• Image extracted for this presentation. Do not describe the still as cut out of something. The still is a file you downloaded. If you need motion, link the motion site. Do not narrate a production pipeline.

If you only used the still and never mentioned motion, you do not have to name Unique Live Wallpaper at all. Naming this archive is enough courtesy, and even that is optional. Name ULW when the reader will ask "is there a moving one" or when you actually showed both.

Keep the line out of the pixels. A credit in 00_readme.txt, in slide notes, on a case-study colophon, or on a last slide titled Sources is the right weight. A 10-point URL in the corner of a presentation plate fights the type and will be printed at 300 dpi if you forget to hide it.

Where the line goes, and where it does not

Put it:

• In the job sidecar, always, as motion: https://uniquelivewallpaper.com when you want the next designer to find the sibling.
• On a public case study, in a tools-and-sources list, same weight as "type: Space Grotesk."
• On a conference last slide, as a URL, not as a logo lockup you did not ask to use.
• In a website footer colophon, as text, not as a header badge.

Do not put it:

• On packaging faces and hangtags, unless the brand wants that story. Most do not.
• Inside IPTC Author, where InDesign will surface it as if you were the photographer. Metadata is the wrong shelf for courtesy.
• On merchandise as a fake official mark.
• As a followed sitewide nav item that implies this archive is a subsidiary you speak for.

Do not use Unique Live Wallpaper's marks as your own. A text name and a URL are courtesy. A copied logo is a trademark problem you do not need.

If a legal team wants a longer paragraph, give them the license URL and this sentence: "Attribution is not required. If we credit, we name Microstock Mikhail as the still host and Unique Live Wallpaper as the related motion site, without claiming a transfer of copyright." Then stop talking.

When you hand the folder over, the readme can carry the courtesy line so you do not have to put it on the title slide. When you catalog the master, the sidecar carries the URL so you can find motion later without rewriting history.

That is the whole courtesy. Optional. Factual. Nofollow to Unique Live Wallpaper. No joint copyright. No pipeline story. The still you placed is a work file from this archive.
