Sure, you can use it in a logo – maybe finding a larger banner for the logotype, or just using the shield and lions with logotype beneath.

That's right as I understand it James. It's a very good question. You would probably be denied if you applied for copyright protection of the logo. The following paragraph is from a 15+ year copyright/trademark professional, discussing whether or not a logo meets the US copyright "sufficient authorship" requirement:

An even easier way to think about it is to ask yourself one question about your logo - was there any creativity involved at all in designing the logo? If you're using a symbol you found in Microsoft Word or in a clip art program, then no. If you're using a logo you or someone else designed for you that contain a degree of creativity and/or uniqueness of some form or fashion, then yes.

You can read the rest of the article here. Hope that helps.

That’s exactly correct Blair, this one is free for commercial use. I’d love to see the T design when it’s done. Hope to hear from you again.

So, according to your terms of use, since this doesn’t have a link that states otherwise, I may use this for commercial use? Eg. A tee shirt which I will sell in store?
I just want to make sure.
