In what way? Windowblind, icon, wallpaper, etc.? I have done a few icons for Objectdock for 'utility' companies that people requested to use as shortcuts for bill paying. I never really gave 'permission' much thought, but haven't heard anything.

I believe, with the icons, that they will stand, unless the corporation requests they come down for whatever reason...(and as long as they aren't inflammatory towards the corporation...I think)

For some corporations where the logo itself may generate an income (like NFL logo's) you would probably need permission. I believe I saw something in the forums once about a problem with the Apple logo, but can't remeber which way the argument went.

There is a Zippo wb skin that is 'official' and has permissions. There is also an nVidia skin floating around with permissions, as well. I did a DeviantArt cursor using the 'Fella' mascot and had to get permission for that. I believe the college wb skins were commissioned. Sorry I can't be of more help. Probably shoulda just kept my yap shut.

Someone will come along who can be more detailed. It might help if you mentioned 'who's' logo you had in mind to use.

Don't listen to him. He's still in trouble for painting naked smurfs doing things to Snuggles the bear all over his VW microbus.

oh, and I was thinking about making some Oakley stuff.

since I was thinking personal use then I won't worry about it, but I might want to do more in the future if I can't come up with my own ideas , then I will have to ask thanks all you guys for the explanation.
