LinkedIn Branding Guidelines

LinkedIn is the owner of the LinkedIn trademark and the *[in] Logo (as well as other trademarks, collectively our “Brand”), and protecting our intellectual property is very important to us. A list of our trademarks can be found here. Since LinkedIn is the owner of the Brand, please do not file any applications with any intellectual property office for any marks which incorporate the Brand.

Our Brand may only be used as outlined in these guidelines or with express written permission from an authorized representative of LinkedIn. We may request that you stop the use of our Brand if we believe, in our sole discretion, that your use of our Brand violates our Branding Guidelines, our User Agreement, or our Professional Community Guidelines, hereafter collectively referred to as “LinkedIn Brand and User Agreements.”

Your use must also be consistent with applicable law and align with LinkedIn’s values (which include, but are not limited to, not using the Brand in a misleading, unfair, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene, or otherwise objectionable manner).  Failure to follow these guidelines could result in the suspension or termination of your LinkedIn account and other actions by LinkedIn. We may modify these Guidelines at any time, and your continued use of the Brand Features will constitute your consent to such modifications.

Overall, you should ensure that you do not use our Brand in a manner that might create the impression that your use is sponsored by LinkedIn. Please ensure compliance with these guidelines, make clear that your use is separate from the LinkedIn Brand, and ensure that you do not copy or imitate the LinkedIn platform’s overall look and feel. Any logos or images found elsewhere on the web are not approved for use. Please help us protect our Brand, and present your work in the most appropriate way, by following these guidelines and only using approved Brand assets from this site.
