Don't accidentally infringe on intellectual property #6

Someone on Reddit has informed me that the "bug" image we were using (which I simply found on a site for free and non-copywritten imagery) is a pretty blatant rip-off of an image in a major franchise. I've loaded up the old SVG editor and tried to re-work it into something that is clearly original.

:oops:

You should have just went for log4shell-logo style on it and have it be some pixellated garbage.

Does this actually differ enough? I'm not versed at all in this type of suff.

I am pretty confident it meets the bar. We don't compete in the same market, and nobody could claim we are trying to mislead that company's customers into thinking our product was theirs.
