    Stud logos in fan apps —Travis Cobbs
   Does anyone know what the Lego company's stance is on fan applications putting "LEGO" on the tops of studs? As far as I know, both L3P and LGEO allow you to include stud logos in the POV files they generate. Since I haven't heard anything about the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

      (...) There's some variance on that. Frequently the MegaBloks logo appears on the body of the brick, such as between the four studs of a 2x2 brick, but some newer molds place the MegaBloks logo between the 4 studs at each of the four corners of a (...)
