I'm developing an iPhone app that uses twitter in some fashion and I'm wondering if anyone here knows if your able to use the twitter logo in your app? The reason I ask is that I know that facebook allows you to use their logo via facebook connect pre-rendered buttons, so I'm not sure if it's a problem or not.
A:
I doubt you can without asking permission. It would be a question of IP law. At the very least, you'd be compromising on their copyright.

In the Twitter about page there is a link Download Logo. Why would it be there if you're not allowed to use it?

It's possible they provide that for fair-use applications - news organisations, education, etc. Without an explicit license, you can't use it for non-fair-use stuff.

Twitter wants you to create your own branding and abstain from using their stuff. Please see the attacked link where Biz Stone answers your question.

Twitter says otherwise here: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/23819f6afca63e7c/0a90245ab7c39d7d

From the edit, the email address for approval of use of the Twitter logo is [email protected]

Along with these answers, make sure you don't use an already owned third party icon. A lot of people use the Twitterrific icon without permission for example.
