    So where did they get the image of the Hourglass Nebula, NASA. They would have no grounds for going after anyone that used an image of an object in space as part of their logo or CD cover. Maybe if the astronomy club directly took your companies logo and pasted their name on to it they would have a case.

    Nice try but think a little harder next time.
