What do you want to use the image for? It looks like a jpg . . . what more do you need for display on the web?

You can download a 30 trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free via their web site.

I had not seen that notice under the Illustrator trial before I purchased it, sorry if it says this as well.

Can you use the ones I just posted? They are pngs with transparent backgrounds. Just right click and save, if you can use them. I did them in Photoshop.

I'm still not getting it.
You created an image using a tool that has not been released and so you can't use the image. Right?

And you can't use a image that was converted from your image?

You want to (re)create your image in another (free) software that can create vector images?

If it's just a matter of 'you can't use what you create in that software until it's released'...I won't tell if you won't. I doubt they are going around checking every little logo on every site to see what software created it.

I think by 'commercial use' they may mean you can't make something and 'sell' it...like a skin or icon package, with their software. I don't know what the prob would be with a logo on the page.

For FREE software, have you tried GIMP Link? It's popular, good, and free.

I don't see any effects on it, like in your original. Can you add them with inkscape?

Citizen David Lyncheski ...I would have thought that Po's version/s in #8 would be totally legitimate to use as you are wanting to.

He recreated the image for you with a 'legal' proggy [not a restricted trial], so you are free to use it/them....

I have used Expression Graphic Designer, and used it to create images, including screenshots of the application itself which I have posted on my website, and Microsoft themselves have linked to them (well, one time anyway).

There are public newsgroups hosted by MS in which people post images created with EGD.

It sounds like a difficult to enforce, if even legal, sort of claim for Microsoft to make, that they would have some rights over what you create using their software. Expression Graphic Designer is in public Community Technology Preview release. Restrictions similar to what original poster has in mind do apply to private, unreleased builds (usually this agreement will be made in writing), but in my opinion (often quickly proven to be wrong) you can safely use the logo you made without worry or guilt.

Here is a page on a community site where they discuss a contest where they chose their logo from several submitted - the rule being they had to be created in Expression Graphic Designer.
