Got inspired by a phrase on a design and i want to use it…

Got inspired by a phrase on a design and i want to use it for myt work.

Hey, so i got inspired by a phrase i saw on a design somewhere that parodies the iconic '' *I <3 NY* '' format. It is still a '' *I <3 ...* '' and i was wondering what the '' Ethics '' are for this.

I want to use the phrase on some t-shirts i am making for my small brand but i do not want to use the design that was used i really just like the phrase.

I reached out to the artist out of respect to see if it bothered them that i use this phrase since they came up with it and we kinda know each other. I asked them if it bothered them that i use the phrase and if we could come to an arrangement that makes us both happy.

They emailed me back wanting to know how many pieces i intend to make with this and if i had other projects planned for this and they would make me a design and vectorize it and make it in the dimensions i want etc.

The thing is, i dont necessarily want them to design it in one way specifically. I want to experiment with it and maybe design it myself because i want to use the phrase in multiple projects over the years without it being designed by them necessarily.

What is an understanding we can come with that will not make me pay an absurd amount and if it gets there can i get in trouble from using the phrase, even if i dont copy their design at all because i am not interested in the design per say.


TLDR; Saw an interesting phrase and want to know if i'll get in trouble from using it without copying the design at all. just want the words.
