I looked up the trademarks, here are links to the two trade-marks which include design elements:

First of all, its clear the silhouette in our logo is not a copy of the silhouette in the designs that are trademarked. Second, the protected wares and services with those designs do not include anything to do with discussion boards--- so on that level, using the tower is not against the law.

There's more to it than that however, you may face a type of passing off allegation, where the owners of the Calgary Tower say having that silhouette in the logo leads others to believe we are associated with the tower, or they endorse us, etc.

So maybe its not worthwhile to go down that path anyway.

Thanks again Delgar for looking that up!
