: Is it safe to incorporate a Star Wars Light Saber into a logo without permission? So I am trying to design a logo for a company, they have requested I incorporate a Star Wars light saber

So I am trying to design a logo for a company, they have requested I incorporate a Star Wars light saber into the logo. I fear this may cause copyright problems.

Is it okay to use something like this in a logo? Or is it suggested you don't?

Is there a risk of litigation if I design a logo that includes recognisable elements from the Star Wars franchise?

The only permissible use of someone else's copyrighted material I'm aware of is for fan fiction or tribute sort of use. But certainly not for profit.

If you have a signed agreement from the rights holder allowing such use or if you can get the company counsel (i.e. lawyers) to sign off on it, then sure, use light-sabers. But without those, the company is taking a serious legal risk that could very well ruin the company. As always, we are not your lawyer and legal questions should always be directed towards an appropriate licensed legal professional.
