I can hear the distant sound of trademark lawyers rubbing their hands together.

No if you use it without lucrative purpose.

Negative -- historical precedent has shown that these kinds of logos are still eligible for penalty of trademark infringement law. If Intel decides that they're losing money because of this logo, AND the claim can be justified in a court of law, then they can issue a cease and desist letter in the hopes of having you take the logo off your website.

The only reason it hasn't happened before in the 6502 or Commodore communities (can't speak for others) is because the lawyers do not see us as a threat. But if (by some fluke) 6502-based systems start to become popular (note: doesn't have to mean the same thing as "selling well"), then Intel can (and will) issue legal notifications, and may even press charges.

This has already happened in the Apple community, particularly with respect to the iPod logo.

Trademarks allow people to identify genuine products. Trademark infringement confuses people about who makes product. Thus, trademarks are good for customers. In this case, it's easy to see how that logo could make someone think it was made by Intel. Anyway, the law says that a company has to defend trademark or forfeit it. If it's satire, make it obvious and it will be protected under parody laws (IANAL).
