I am trying to come up with some ideas for a website logo, related to gaming. One of the ideas I have was to use a iconic character such as one of the space invaders from Atari's Space Invaders.

I was just wondering where the copyright would stand on this.



Something similar to that.

If you use somebody else's artwork, even if in the form of a recognizable series of pixels, your work is derivative and remains subject to their copyright.
