It would be nice to give our community apps a familiar look and feel. With that in mind, does SO (and the trilogy sites) have any high resolution or scalable icons and images that we can use?

I'm not really sure if there are any legal implications with using an SO logo in our apps but I thought I should ask anyways.

Thanks!

Am I safe if I mention: "...this product uses the StackOverflow API but is not endorsed or affiliated with StackOverflow...?" – Nathan Osman♦ May 21 '10 at 6:40

That sentence by itself is OK. But just using that sentence wouldn't mean that you could use the logo. – Joel Spolsky May 21 '10 at 6:42

Then what would allow me to use the logo? – Nathan Osman♦ May 21 '10 at 7:44
What if I want to add buttons in my app to connect to SO, SU or SF and I want to put the logo in the button can I do that? – Jedi Master Spooky Jun 2 '10 at 17:43

Update: see this post

This would be very helpful. Though I already used it in mine :)

I think the key here is to make sure it is clear you are not affiliated with StackOverflow. (see the new policy)

I think it would be nice to have SVG versions of the logos though.

I found this it's fairly large, large enough were you should be able to do things with it. I have no idea if we are allowed to use them.

(Un)fortunately, I am not a lawyer. I'm not sure what exactly that means with regards to how I'm allowed to use the logo and such. – Nick Presta May 21 '10 at 6:49
@Nick: It tells you nothing, except who you would need permission from for any activities restricted by copyright/trademark. – SamB May 1 '11 at 1:35
