FASA has given permission in the past (1994 and 1995) to use that logo. We
asked them beforehand, of course, and we needed to put a trademark warning
on the shirt somewhere as well as send FASA one shirt. To be precise:

I have just received mail from FASA Mike on FASA's position on the
copyright stuff. I quote:

There is no problem with the shirts as long as you do a couple of
things....

The SR logo must have a Circle C (copyright symbol) by it and the word
Shadowrun must have a Circle R (Registered trademark symbol) They can be
small. Plua someplace on the shirt and once again it can be written in
very small type it should say "Shadowrun is a registered trademark of
FASA Corp."

Plus you have to send me one. <VBG>.

FASA

There ya' go, guys! I hope it works out. Basically, we can now proceed
full speed ahead. One thing though.... I hope Mike doesn't think he's
going to get one for free. :-)

So what's stopping us from asking FASA again if we can use the logo this
year?
