Human generated labels

A label that says a human made this. Not a certification mark, not an authority, no registration. A sticker.

Why this label exists

The European Union has had official icons for labelling AI content since 2 August 2026. AI GENERATED for work that comes entirely from a model, AI MODIFIED for a real photo with an AI intervention. Neatly designed and ready to use. For the reverse, nothing has been arranged. There is no label whatsoever that says a human made something.

So I made those labels myself, in the same form and the same size as the European label. There's also a rainbow version in the colours of the LGBTQ+ flag, because if a label says there's a human behind the work, you should be able to show which one. It doesn't solve anything legally. This label was missing.

Three sets in one zip. The standard label in black and in white, each version also with a variant on transparent. The Pride version in eight colour pairs. And the rainbow version, with and without the Progress chevron. Everything as SVG and as PNG.

Download the set

Use it wherever you like, commercially too. You don't need to credit me and you don't need to ask permission. Don't resell the set as your own product, that's the only thing.

Where this comes from

This label comes from an article about copyright and AI, about what happens when no one owns what gets made any more.
