I wouldn't worry about myself, I mean the worst thing is that somebody whines about it and you might want to change it. NOW if it was me and they didn't like it I'd tell them to get over it and where to go but Hey thats the way I am.

If you bought the dry transfers from a reputable commercial source, they would have paid any licensing fees allowing you to use it. If you were to copy the logo and and sell it to make a profit, you could be be facing copyright issues.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I personally wouldn't worry about it. Like NIKE is really gonna stumble apon FSM and sue because they saw their logo on your fig. I guess it could happen, but I'd give it a million to one shot.
