How soon are you going to have these? We are probably not going to see each other at a competition because we're in a different state, but would I still be able to get one for my friend? She loves dogs and robotics with all her heart.

OK, I'll be the guy to throw the cold water. It probably violates FIRST's branding and trademark rules.

Re: Button I'm planning on giving out, thoughts?
 

Its just a joke I don't think FIRST would care that much. I would be extremely surprised to see them go after something like this.

If we get this serious, I'm sure Ringo could simply shoot FIRST a quick email asking whether they'd be okay with it. I'm 95% sure they'd approve.

With enough modification, it would be "legal".
The only issue is that it would require completely recreating the logo in such a way that there is a very clear difference between the original and your creation, but then you miss the point of creating a "parody" button in the first place.

Because you wouldn't be selling them (at least, I assume so) and they wouldn't be very widely distributed, you fall into a bit more of a grey area.

If you really want to make a "STEAMBorks" button/pin, you could find a similar font and write the name near the top, and them outline the entire image with a ring gear.

I did a google because the meanings of bork I was familiar with didn't make any sense. Apparently its a small dog's bark, what I usually refer to as a yap.
