Technically yes, but it would be very unlikely that anything would become of it. Worst case, you may get a C&D.

Yeah, it falls under fan art, so it should be fine.
Like the other guy said, worst you'll get it probably a C&D.

Care to elaborate? Are you a copyright lawyer?
Pretty sure lifting copyrighted material for personal profit isn't just "okay" under copyright law as fanart. That said, I'm no copyright lawyer, either.
Yea, I didn't think it would be but if I'm not making thousands in profit over it and it's not that noticeable it should be okay... ish? :))Pretty sure lifting copyrighted material for personal profit isn't just "okay" under copyright law as fanart. That said, I'm no copyright lawyer, either.
Technically no, but if you're not pulling massive amounts of cash, most companies will just ignore it.
$1500-2k a year is nothing to most corporations, so they'll let it slide.
There are lots of examples of lawyers going after the "little guys"So you think it's probably best not to do stuff that could cause problems?

That would look great. I wish I was competent with Blender.
I did always wonder how they got away with it, but that's very interesting. I'll have to have a read more about it all before I go ahead with anything.
Hmm, so even though technically it is illegal, if I do infringe any copyrights nothing will happen because the huge businesses won't bother?I did always wonder how they got away with it, but that's very interesting. I'll have to have a read more about it all before I go ahead with anything.
There've been lots of studies on this. It's generally counter-productive in the long run for big corporations to pursue trademark infringement when the scope of the infringement is small fan-made products and knock-offs.

I always assumed fan-made stuff and homages were totally legal. Just look at Etsy.

If we're talking key caps, it may not be illegal even under the strictest interpretation of the law. If it passes the legal test then it's fine even if it uses IP or marks owned by another company and is produced without the owner's permission. Seriously, check out that thread. There's some wiggle room in the trademark, copyright, and patent laws.
Full disclosure: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
