I Love Watermelons Doomheim Likes received: 0	#1 - 2013-12-06 05:03:23 UTC \| Edited by: I Love Watermelons I was wanting to create an alliance called razor Alliance Federation using this artwork for the logo. A friend of mine informed me it might be against the terms of service for the game due to another alliance called Razor Alliance already existing. Is this true?

You copy their name and logo, so this part of the TOS is a potential issue for you.

You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer. You may not impersonate or falsely present yourself to be a representative of another player, group of players, character or NPC entity.

Just petition and ask CCP or try being creative.

Posting in a stealth "GoonSwarm owner should be able to petition Goonswarm Federation for impersonation" thread. Which actually makes this a stealth "grr goons" thread.

However when you clearly say that you are not this alliance there should not be a problem with the name, the logo however might be getting close to it.

So if I openly declare my alliance is not impersonating the other I should be fine? Will there be issues if I am in that other alliances space?

That is impersonation. That gets you into problems. "If brute force does not solve your problem.... then you are surely not using enough!"
