It is "fan art" when a fan put it on a t-shirt or on his "fan" site.
When you put it in a commercial site it is unfair.
Unfortunately when Miky stated on his site that everyone can order new Pegasos machine from it...
...the site itself ceased to be a "fan site" or an "info site" regarding a certain platform...
...to became a commercial one...

It is not a comparable thing until the fan will not sell it.
And for sure you have not specified if that site you signaled us is italian or not...
Legislation may vary from country to country...
However the lawyer friend of mine, I had asked abut this problem, stated that there is no problem until someone will complain for the logo asking its obliged removal by the authority of commerce.
And if Miky will change it in some details, such as to use different colors, a different ball, etc...
...it will not infringe the law anymore.
So I repeat now publicly what I said to Miky.
Please Miky, change it into a boing-ball "egged shaped" logo.
It will still resemble correctly the Amiga logo Boing-Ball,
But no one could said anymore anything versus it
(this will be sure a "Columbus Egg") ;-)))))))))))))))))
Ciao,
