Hello - I recently used several of the hand-drawn black and white social media icons that are part of the Video Scribe graphics collection in a view at work. Someone asked me, from a copyright perspective are we okay to use those?

Are there any legal risks to using these drawn cartoon versions of social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and so on?

You may want to consult those websites for their individual policies.

for example: facebook brand guidelines

includes these lines (but please read the whole guide for proper context):

"Do:

-Use the version of the logo that comes with a blue box on white or light colored backgrounds

-Use the version of the logo that comes on a white box on blue or dark colored backgrounds

Don't:

-Modify the ‘f’ logo in any way, such as by changing the design or color."
