Hi,

I'm relatively new to working as a freelancer through design agencies. An agency (which only consists of one man at present) outsources design work to freelancers. He has asked me to design 3 logo visuals for a client of his which I have completed and sent him the visuals as a PDF ready for him to pitch to his client.

He has recently asked me to remove my copyright notice, which I have placed at the bottom of each visual as protection as I am yet to be paid for the work.

I am dubious about the situation because I have been quite informal about the agreement in the sense that I haven't drawn up a written contract and had him sign it.

How can I protect myself in this situation if I remove the copyright from the visuals? I apologise if I come across naive but I normally work for clients who are friends and government bodies that are trusted.

Thanks
