Which brings up a good point - the site we use, Mooneyspace, uses the logo and I doubt they have permission, yet Mooney company owners come on here and contribute to the forum. I doubt that Mooney cares as long as it isn't used in a derogatory manner.

I thought it was allowed as long as it wasn’t used in a negative manner and had the registered trademark symbol, “”.

Anybody worried about personal use of a related trademark or copyrighted material just look into "Fair Use" or the "fair use doctrine".    There are many, many situations where permission is not required to use protected intellectual property like trademarks or copyrighted material.    Personal use is usually one of them, especially if you apply the trademark to the item that the trademark belongs to, i.e., a Mooney trademark applied to a Mooney.

I am not a lawyer.  "Fair Use", however, is fairly easy to research.
