  I think it fully depends on how much of a hard ass the dean is and if you have a team of nerds at hand to hack into your school database and absolve you of all wrongdoings.

  So in other words, I don't konw. sorry.

  I'd say Nocandoo. If they don't support it, they don't support it, even with the disclaimer you are using their protected identity to suggest involvement. Just change it fundamentally but subtly. Keep the sheild shape, but put AF instead of UT???

  • Thats a good idea. Any idea on what font they used?– fafore1/3

  You're just using it for a party invitation?

  I mean I'm sure they probably won't be all that enthused to anything with their name/likeness in terms of a party, but you should be fine as long as you aren't making any money.

  We've made huge banners with the PITT Panther, shirts and everything ... it's not really a big deal when it's non-profit and especially when they won't ever see it...

    Yeah, it's a block party basically. No money to be made at all.– fafore4/4

  I'm no alumni.

  This is the message I recieved today:

  "FYI...using the UT shield on the Alvin Fest logo is against copyright laws. I had a meeting with Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Kaye Patten Wallace and Dean of Students Zauyah Waite today and they both know about the UT shield. I told them that I would contact you and ask you to remove it before they would. Let me know if I can be of any other assistance!"

  • well, I'd say thats pretty cut and dried right there.– ian

  Ask who? Everyone here?

  I just figured asking people who deal with and make logos all the time would have a bit more knowledge than some people who are pissed off about kids drinking. The message I received was over facebook by a member of the student government. I'll wait for something a little more formal before I do anything. ahhh well
