Thumbnail Feedback Can I use an App logo in a thumbnail of a video reviewing that app?

I am planning on doing reviews of cell phone apps. Would it be a problem to use the logo of the app in my thumbnails, meaning issues with copyrights ?

if the review was positive i can't see the app making disallowing the use of it.

It might be in their TOS. I know for us you're allowed to use it.

That should fall under fair use. As long as you’re not trying to represent the app in an official standpoint, you should be totally fine to use it.

i think some companies might try the “copyright” route to prevent you using their logo if it’s a NEGATIVE review... but I don’t know where that would actually sit legally. But for small scale reviews of an app I see no issue using it, and most app developers would appreciate the free advertising.
