i was cocerned whether or not im tinkering on the edge of "fair use", i dont want any trouble

i placed a notice in my legal section on the page regarding use of low resolution iconic - obviously trademarked video game characters on my banner and screenshots used throughout site to indicate information about a game to play..

id like feedback as to whether i have understood my rights to imply "fair use" and whether or not generally think i will be ok...

thanks for the feedback, im a not for profit site, so i hope everything is ok
ive taken the old banner down, but i still would like peoples impressions of it anyway

so i will place it here

Original banner http://qualityflashgames.net84.net/images/headerOLD.jpg

you can still review the new banner, but i think that there is no way its copyright infringement this time, i put this together from a couple of free .psd provided by thier creators themselves for free,

i do recognise the dwarf slightly from warcraft a bit, maybe i am in violation again
