not with the FIRST logo, not with any variation of the FIRST logo.
The reason why we cant vary it is: only the exact depections of the logo that FIRST has on record at the trademark office are the official FIRST logos. They cant trademark the word 'first' itself, so that no one is every able to put 'first' on a box of anything - and they dont own circles triangles and squares.
So if FIRST allowed people to use any and all variations of their logo to refer to their organization, they would eventually loose all the trademark rights.
Does this make sense? Not sure if I have explained it clearly?

I understand now, I misread your post, thanks for clearing that up.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
