Hello, I am making a pretty basic company site that will discuss the benefits of online services such as youtube, facebook, etc. I was planning on using a collage of web 2.0 logos, similar to the one used at http://ithinked.com/archives/2008/01/web-20-and-the-evolution-of-education/, but I am worried about the legal issues. This company site is purely for SHOW and I will not actually be preforming services for anyone, but I do mention that I use those web 2.0 sites as advertising methods. However, I also have a disclaimer explaining that the services I use are white hat and strictly abide the TOS. I expect a very little amount of traffic to the site. Do you think I will be okay using a bunch of Web 2.0 logos? With such little traffic (maybe 10 visitors a day) should I even worry about it? Thanks a lot
You can use them for editorial purposes. You can also use them to show what platforms you provide services for, but you cannot imply that you are somehow affiliated with them. It is probably a good idea to put your disclaimer somewhere, like "You Tube is a registered trademark of Google Inc" of something to that affect for each.
