I notice that a lot of group alumni sites include school logos. I'm a little leary about doing that on mine due to the fact that so many of these schools consider every use of their logo as a trademark infringement. Is this considered fair use? Where could I get some comfort and guidance on that point? Thanks.

I'm not sure how that will play out with the schools... guess we'll see soon enough. I decided, for my group, to go with public/free clipart and add my own text, simple, yet avoids the pitfalls of unauthorized use. I would be curious to hear from some of the college alumni and others who have set up groups here as far as their thoughts on this issue are.

Thanks,
Jeff

I suspect that even in the worst case scenario, assuming you're actually an alumnus and not making unfounded claims that, say, you have the official backing of your college, you'd at worst be asked to remove the offending logo. More likely, unless prosper and your group both take off enormously, nothing will ever happen.
