What does GVG mean in COMPANIES & FIRMS

The Graphics Vigilante Group (GVG) is a group of graphic designers and artists who seek to uphold the integrity of their industry by protecting artistic works from misuse and abuse. GVG strives to ensure that all works are credited to their rightful owners, and that no one profiteers or steals from another’s artwork.

GVG uses its extensive network of industry professionals to track down suspected cases of copyright infringement, plagiarism, or other inappropriate use of artwork. This includes using search engines, social media accounts, websites, forums, and other sources. If artwork can be verified as belonging to a certain individual or company, GVG will then contact the party in question and attempt to reach a resolution before pursuing legal action.

GVG covers various materials including 2D artworks (illustrations, cartoons), 3D models (sculptures), digital designs (apps), video game assets (characters/environments), comics/manga artworks, web design elements (templates), clothing design pieces (textiles), industrial designs/prototypes (furniture) and more.
