http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html You may not use the Apple Logo or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, promotional/advertising materials, or for any other purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Apple, such as a reseller agreement. To explain : The clapperboard is a registered trademark from Apple in the category of video software. If you use a clapperboard Apple may claim at any moment that it introduces a similarity with Apple Final Cut pro. When you register a trademark, you usually register the name AND some graphics, including icons. The problem is that you will not go to court. Jean-Baptiste will. So if you post your ID, address and you ensure that you will pay for any legal assistance and cover the cost of trial, including final payment, then we may reconsider your point of view. Don't make it a personal issue. We know you have been working a couple of hours on this project, but this is not enough to destroy JB life. If you don't know anything about law, contact a lawyer. Stay away from this clapperboard logo. IMHO, invest some time and efforts into something different.
