Rather than a custom design, business owners can select from a library of pre designed images and customize (minimally - usually just a matter of adding your name) for their company. Often the images are low quality, may be copied from other sources (without permission) The templates are often sold to multiple users, creating potential copyright and/or trademark issues. Also, the ability to copyright or protect these types of logos once purchased is very unclear. Template logos are sometimes marketed through web sites that advertise themselves as 'make your own logo', etc. While these sites claim the logos available in their 'extensive' libraries are NOT clip art, there is very little doubt that they are. Clip art is defined as artwork being available for many users as opposed to stock logos, a much more preferable solution, in which the rights are carefully mananged, and/or the artwortk is only available for outright purchase.
