If you have a look at Apple FCP clapboard, it is very much the same:

FCP icon is a registered trademark. Trademarks include names and icons.
You cannot simply do it and this is a legal issue.

Would you agree to rename Kdenlive "Final Cut". This is simply
impossible and illegal. 

What you propose is exactly the same. Using FCP logo or a ressembling
logo is im-po-ssi-ble.

The word ressembling means in legal terms that a basic user (my mother)
could possibly (sometimes) be mistaken and run Kdenlive instead of FCP.

I am very sorry for that.
There is plenty of other choices for Kdenlive logo.

Kind regards,
