So I'm inches away from discarding a pull-tab flyer design for a local university using the university's animal logo. And it would of course be somewhere in the neighborhood of copyright infringement/abuse, but using it to connect logo identifying students to online poker - well, it seems pretty appealing.

Any thoughts on this? Anybody here ever use a university logo in advertising?

It really depends on how strict the University is. I work with University logos all of the time because I do website design for a few of the University of Arkansas websites. Usually their main concern is that you are putting the appropriate copyright, trademark, etc symbols on the right logo. Generally, most Universitys require their permission before you put their logo on anything and most likely they'd say no to putting it on a poker advertising flyer, but it's really up to you. They might hunt you down, they might not.

Go into photoshop and slightly change a portion of the logo. Most people won't notice and it should be infringement... but don't quote me on it.

I would avoid using a university logo in my advertising. I don't think that making a few subtle changes in Photoshop invalidates their copyright on their logo, either.

Yep, avoid it.
