You're now getting into a very hazy area of copyright law, and copyright law doesn't do much to help. There are a few ways of looking at this.


The first says that using a portion
of the original image would be
considered "fair use".
The second says to use the portion
that you like as a guide and then
recreate the image in your own style.
The final way is to simply use the
portion as inspiration and create
your own logo not directly derived
from the original.


It's really up to you to decide what is most appropriate for your situation and what you are most comfortable with. Reread the agreement to see if there is some "derivatives works" clause, and act accordingly. Otherwise, I would just go with the third option.
