      Hi, I'm working on a commercial plugin. There is an info page on the plugin. I want to put Youtube, Facebook, instagram, tweeter etc... buttons with their logos. This buttons will open plugin's social media links.

      Is there any kind of legal problem with using those logos on a commercial plugin?

        @mehmethand If you use font awesome icons I think you're ok:

        Font Awesome License

        Font Awesome, the iconic font and CSS framework

        favicon

        (fontawesome.com)

          Most companies have a page detailing how you can use their trademarks. Not sure how that works with the various icon packs that are out there with YouTube logos for example.

          Here's the YouTube logo guidelines page

            I can't imagine that any platform will restrict the usage of their logo if you use it to promote their service with a link.

              I found this with a little search.

              YouTube Brand Requests - Review required - YouTube Help

              favicon

              (support.google.com)

              Link Preview Image
              Instagram icon, usage and guidelines | Meta

              Explore the guidelines for use and application of the Instagram icons and access our Brand Request Form.

              favicon

              (about.meta.com)

              https://about.twitter.com/content/dam/about-twitter/en/brand-toolkit/downloads/twitter-external-brand-guidelines-01272021.pdf

              I didn't search deeply but as far as I understand if you have permission from the brands, if the logo fits brand's criteria and if the link is directed to them I won't have trouble.
