Yeah, large companies get super crazy about that kind of stuff! I work for Playstation and everything we design is required to be approved by Legal before going in game. I make a lot of signage textures too and even the font has to be legally approved! Its bananas, but I guess it makes sense for copyright infringement. I had no idea how nit picky companies get about that stuff so we have to take extreme precaution when replicating anything. Also, my friend got a cease and desist from Disney for making an exact replica of Captain Jack Sparrow's jacket. They told him that they will sue if he makes more and sells them (props to being a baddass seamstress though).
