Okay, I hope I posted this into a right place. Here goes. I'm building a big olympic ice skating centre and I'm currently making the walls. Now, I just started to wonder if it would be okay to use brand logos as they are at the edges of the rink (hope that made sense) or do I have to turn them into simlish? Would I be stepping into brand owners toes? I do remember that there was some hassle about Starbucks sometime ago but it's not like I would be using a brand to build a shop like that or anything. It's just advertisement. Thoughts, anyone? :scratch:

Touchy subject. Within the simming community, everyone takes a chance when using real brands. It's alright as long as your not making any profit off it, because doing anything of the sort brings "unwanted attention" here.

Sierra, since this isnt a help issue, I moved this to the discussion section.
