fair use (parody relevance) only comes into play if it starts getting treated as a legal thing

additionally it was more than enough for someone to mistake that account as the conference account at a glance

You can also see the squared-off "NeoFossil" logo above, not the rounded New Relic logo. I think he probably cut it out of a different mock splash page he made that had a line starting with "changing..."
