I was just looking for an easy way out before i redo the logo.
Which won't be such a big deal now because i found what font they used for it.
Seriously tho, if WE was using the logo without Caspian's permission, they would face copyright lawsuits. I dont see how they wouldn't.
anyways...problem solved i think.
thanks for the heads up on the ontario dude tho. It would be pricy and a hassle to have to ship it there and stuff, so i'll just do it myself with a local engraver.
cheers.

Well, yeah, except that copyrights and patents work on a country basis.
That means that is you are producing a Caspian Arms pistol in the US, you are in trouble. If you do it in China or HK, good to go.
Most companies will have trademarks registered in most eastern Europe and Americas... not so often in Asia...
The gov. of the country also have to enforce the copyrights properly, which in this case would mean to close a factory and remove a large source of revenue from taxes and jobs...
*edit
Find a .png file, the image generally will have an alpha channel that gives out a quite clean workpath... You can also enlarge the image to 3000dpi, then smooth and extract the workpath with a higher tolerence value, making it really smooth. Then tweak the vector mask in Illustrator if needed.
