You could potentially, don't quote me though as I'm no expert in law or anything. I would change it if I were you, just to be on the safe side.

You could consult a real lawyer for their advice though and see what (s)he says.

 

//not a lawyer, not actual legal advice

Yes you could be sued. Trademark law works under an "at a glance" philosophy. If "at a glance" logo A can be confused with logo B logo B can sue to protect its mark.

I'm not sure.
I've seen quite a few uses of something similar as you did, where the fake logo clearly resembles a real life logo.

 

Thanks, ive seen the same thing, and im sure they could care less about a small indie game but i was just asking for opinions

 

I don't really know, but to be on the safe side, you probably should change it.
Take a look at the "iPhone" on the GTA 5 box, for example.
While the design of the object itself has been pretty much copied, they changed the logo to something looking similar, yet different:

 

Difference is that a game like GTA will have already lawyered up and checked it was safe enough ahead of time. There has to be enough changes for it to work. I would say just be original and research what comes under parody.
