Yeah I suggest printing it over fiat money to create a cool advert for all to see.

Is that where Casascius got the image for the heads side of his coins (or is the tails side)?

Yeah, it was made in 2010, and updated in 2014 (minor). Free as in speech, free as in beer.

Lucky Karpeless didn't manage to change it.  As you remember there was a rumor that Bitcoin logo might get copyrighted.  It was nonsense from the beginning and the rumor stops soon after.

You can find all promo graphics and license free here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics

But does this mean you can modify it and sell it for profits like t-shirt or whatever?

cheers dude, will send some tips for bit boy.

fantastic work.

You are most welcome. What u see on Bitcoin today has been built by so many people contributing their time & skill set for free. So many people have even spent time on this forum explaining bitcoin to new people. It is sad, that most of the people today only think about getting bitcoin cheap as if it is a product of private company, rather than holding some bitcoin and then contributing positively to collectively raise its value.
