To an extent, I do.
When I was having the website logo redone right before Kidvention, I had a
discussion about this with one of LEGO's lawyers. I had the person
rendering the logo make a brick with 'LDRAW' on the studs in the same style
text as 'LEGO' is printed on bricks. When she saw a sample of the logo, she
requested I put 'LEGO' on the studs, or leave them blank.
Their reasoning is - if we are representing LEGO bricks, they want them
represented accurately. So, from this information, I would say it is safe
to assume they have no problem with it.
So, the LDraw.org logo has LEGO on the studs - just take a look at our vinyl
banner where the logo is printed out HUGE at 300dpi. :-)

Neat :-)

You might want to add, 'LEGO(R) and the LEGO logo are registered trademarks
of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, endorse, or authorize this
program.'

| 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 (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
