Your link includes the following points about the law that established the Merlion as a symbol/logo for the tourism board, which makes me think their variation is fine:
STB does not own copyright for variations of the Merlion Symbol, unless these variations were specifically commissioned by STB.
STB does not own copyright for any works which incorporate variations of the Merlion Symbol.
Users are solely responsible for obtaining any other necessary approvals, permissions, and licences as may be required under law, e.g., Copyright Act 2021.
In other words, they don't own the concept of a mermaid-lion chimera. Or the name "merlion".
- phantomathkg 2y agoSTB promotes the use of the Merlion Symbol as a symbol of Singapore appearing in works incorporating the symbol or any representation *resembling* it (e.g., commercial product packaging, artwork, etc.). Any individual, organisation, or company ("User") may apply to STB for permission to use the Merlion Symbol or a symbol or representation resembling it.
