How to cite or credit a company logo
A clear source note helps readers find the current asset. It does not replace the owner’s permission or brand rules.
Check whether the brand gives a required credit
Start with the official brand, press or media page. Some companies provide a required trademark line, a specific name for the logo or a condition for linking back.
Keep the credit factual
Name the company and, where useful, link to its official asset or brand-guideline page. Avoid wording that suggests sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation unless that relationship exists.
Put the source close to the logo when context matters
A source note is most useful beside an image in a report, article or presentation. In a larger asset library, a link in the item details may be clearer than repeating the same line beneath every mark.
Credit does not grant rights
You may still need permission for a commercial use, an advert or a product. Read the owner’s usage rules before you publish.

Do I need to credit a company when I use its logo?
Follow the company’s brand guidelines. Some editorial uses do not require a credit, while a partner kit or licence may set a specific attribution requirement.
What should a logo credit include?
Use the company name, the logo or trademark notice requested by its guidelines, and a link to the official source when that is useful to the reader.
Can a credit replace permission?
No. Giving credit does not create permission to use a trademark or logo.
