Acceptable Use of Copyrighted Logos/Names?

Question

Are any/some/all of the following considered acceptable use of the site names and logos?

I know that there is no "official policy" yet regarding this, but I figured I would show some examples of what I would like to use in my application and try to get some feedback from Kevin, Joel/Jeff, etc before I proceed to invest time and effort on something that I will get sued for :-P

Perhaps we can also use this question to discuss the acceptable use policy for API apps, since there seems to be bits and pieces of information scattered among a few questions and comments on both stackapps and meta -- but no definitive source.

1. Small icons with site name to show question origin

2. Drop down using site names to make a selection

3. Drop down using small icons and site names to make a selection

Answer 1

I completed a draft of the "Guidelines for the use of Stack Exchange Network Logos and Names" this past weekend.

Update

Here are the relevant portions from the final draft of the logo usage guidelines. Pending any last-minute changes, this should pretty much cover "fair use" of the logos in your applications.

Design of Your Product

Do:

• Do design your product with unique branding and logos.
• Do feel free to use our names or logos for the purpose of labeling our sites within your product, as long as use of such logos could not be confused with the branding or endorsement of the product itself.

Do not:

• Do not copy the look and feel of our products.
• Do not include elements of our network that are not user-contributed content (i.e. no copyright material).
• Do not use our name, logo, or service to promote or allow fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activities.

Answer 2

Please someone resolve this!

This has been hanging over my head long enough.

As you all know, my apps make extensive use of the logos. And although I have been careful about how I used them, I wouldn't mind official approval.

Currently I use the logos for:

• Presenting a list of API-compatible sites to a user
• In a status panel beside a user's name and score

I would also like to know why my post with the SVG versions of the logos was deleted.
