I've read the whole thing and it isn't bad... Sure, some additional things could match up just q little better, but I dont see something to be alarmed about.
I'd also like to point out that picking a logo from the net and directly using it for a forum site that you do not get profit over isn't copyright. Christ... Are you guys serious or just looking for an excuse to complain on them. Its not considered importing. Its not considered something bad. They used the image in a different context.
Logical signs something is copyrighted include: a watermark, it being only on one site, not from a company product...
Im going to bet that when I google search the image, it will pop up everywhere.
Honestly, leave the guys alone. Not everyone can make an image from scratch.
Edit: now.... If I search and see that logo is from an energy drink or something... Then yeah... Can be an issue.
@edit: Also the word you're looking for there is "trademark" not "copyright".
You are actually right, my statement was over-simplified. Specifically, this would fall under 'Fair Use'. The fact that this became an argument at all though is rather absurd.

No. Trademarks are not subject to fair use, not in this case anyway.

The Second to last and last sentence are important. Since this isn't a product or service, or disparages or discredits Razer, that sets up the Basis that it does not violate Razer's Copyright. Addtionally, I highly doubt we'll be confusing customers of Razer products with this. Satisfied?
Guys you need to change the image. Sorry... but yeah...
I would like to help you guys since i'm not bad at photoshop. Is that fine with you?
I was just playing around and I have something. Do you like it? It's just 2 mins just to SHOW the IDEA. But it's far from done.
The final product should be made out of snakes with a nice glow of green or whatever.
We're quite aware that this is the Logo belonging to Razer, and no, your offer of help is appreciated but, we're good.
Unless the Administrators would like to step in and claim this is a copyright violation, thereby setting a precedent that all non-purchased images on the Forum are to be removed, I think we'll stick with this till our own commissions are done.
Well if you change your mind, maybe PM me. The logo idea is more simple and ideal for making a really small image for the unofficial faction thread. It is also showing better the "toxic" symbol.

Well it's appreciated, we'll be sure to let you know if we change our minds.
