Question

Would having a map that has a company name be considered copyrighted?

Like having a map that has the text 'Google'. Would it be alright to make a map like that? Or do I have to get the approval first from that company. Also sorry if it was already asked, and answered

Well what do you think?

(the answer is yes)

I wasn't thinking at the moment so I posted it up,

Alright, I sent the request to the company. Hopefully I would get my results by tomorrow.

By the way do you support this idea?

It depends, I'll need to see a map draft first

Do you get many points for holding blue and red regions?

Uh... that's all?

So your map is really just the text "Google?" And the letters are the territories, or what?

Before even getting to the lack of territories and connections and bonuses, why would anyone want to conquer a text that says "google"? I don't think there is a very strong concept here.

My advice is, try to think of something else. Like something with an actual story behind it.
