My band created this logo as an idea for our tribute band to the Beatles:

Since it is based on the original Beatles logo:

Would the logo be considered copyright infringement?

We know the name itself is OK to use, but are not sure about the font or anything else.

: Non-rounded inset in Inkscape I'm trying to 'inset' a path a fixed amount, so that if I were to then increase the stroke width, I would end up with exactly the same shape. I understand that

The fonts usage is subject t its own copyright issues. If you bought the font its fine to use it. If the font is protected private property then it is not. If this font is very similiar to an existing font then copyright is left up to the lawyers

The Beatles artwork is copyrighted.

Do they infringe on the Beatles brand? That is a legal question with no Yes or No answer until the lawyers decide.

I think a general legal approach/strategy is a good idea. "Yes, the font and design were taken from the Beatles brand. We have changed it enough that no one would mistake this for the Beatles own work. It is a tribute to them, we are a tribute to them." If it enters a legal battle than I think the first step would be an order for you to stop using it. That sounds not so bad to me.
