  Old  Xbox 360 logo

Hi, I am currently making an xbox 360 forum and skin and am wondering if using the xbox logo for a part of it would be illegal, what if I included the "tm" after it? I am only asking because it would perfect for part of the design but I do not want to get a law suit from microsoft

Including the tm I guess would make it even worse.

Its a mind field using these different logos - you never know they may make it available as means to promote itself.

I believe you cannot use it. You do not own the rights to the image.

Thats what I mean't.

But its always worth checking with them, incase they do have a version available for use - good promotion for them.

Without checking, i'd advise you stay well away.

Send the webmaster an email explaining that you want to use it, show the site etc, you do need permission to use it.

E-mail them, and also you have to add a kind of disclaimer in the footer like "all logo's are owned by their respectful owners and we are in no way affiliated with MS etc"

I just wouldn't use it. They've sued for simply insinuating their name and won.
