    Simple, it is not yours. You do not own the image, do not use it.

    If you figure out its origin, you can ask them to use it. Short of that, I can't think of worse idea for a site logo than knowingly using someone else's logo.

    Oh yeah, and this thread is now evidence of your intentional misuse of someone else's logo.
