<div class="IPBDescription">Games workshop</div>Looking at the Aliens, I know that Flay and the team MUST have had some influence from Warhammer 40k.  The TSA Symbol, however, may be a copyright infringement. It is incredibly close to the Dark Angel Sys mbol- A sword with Wings. I've noticed that the sword in the TSA symbol seems to be a gunblade (from the oh so amazing FF8. Yuck&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> I'm pretty sure GW has that symbol Copyrighted.

High-Quality Logo:

    Dude, the TSA symbol is so oh-so-different from that.  It couldn't possibly come under copyright infringement.  I don't think there's anything to worry about.

    The TSA symbol reminds me of the Valkyr drug logo from Max Payne.

    We've been over it before, and if you actually look they are totally different. A copy of the symbol is stickied in the artwork forum.

    This discussion has been had before.  

    They look nothing alike other than they both feature swords and wings.

    There are many symbols that feature swords with wings.

    Soon someone will come into this topic and post an image of some military symbol and say something to the effect of, "So I guess Warhammer 0320492304k ripped off [insert name here]?", then you will basically be proven wrong in 30 other posts which are essentially just rewordings of every other post in the topic.  Sort of like mine.

    All British special forces have a dagger in their emblem and wings. The Royal Navy amphibious sector has an anchor, wings and a sten gun I think
