We typically do not approve the use of our logo for events we sponsor. If you're working with us on an event, please work with your Google contact to obtain permission for an exception to this policy.

Yes, you may include Google on your in-kind donor list and you may publish our logo on your site. We also have a standard statement that you can use to acknowledge your grant:

[Organization name] is a recipient of a Google Grants award. The Google Grants program supports registered nonprofit organizations that share Google's philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy and the arts. Google Grants is an in-kind advertising program that awards free online advertising to nonprofits via Google AdWords.

If you're a Google Certified Partner of any of our Partner Programs, you may use your GCP badge on your site and other marketing material, but we cannot give you permission to use the logo. Please use your badge instead.

Unfortunately, since we don't have a way to evaluate your knowledge about Google, we can't allow you to use our logo. However, we encourage you to participate in any one of our certification programs. Upon completion, we award you with a Partner badge to place on your site that lets potential customers know that you are in fact a pro with Google products.

Google receives lots of requests every day to sponsor many worthy events and initiatives. Unfortunately, Google Brand Permissions is unable to review and provide approval for any sponsorships. If you are working with someone at Google, please connect with them to review sponsorship requests. Learn more

Yes you do need permission in order to use it. However Google does not own the images found via Google Search. You must contact the owner of the image (typically whoever first posted the image on the web) and obtain his/her permission in order to use it.

We can't share user information as that would be a violation of our privacy agreements with our users. We suggest looking on the site in question for a way to contact the site's webmaster.

You don't need our permission when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot (an image of our homepage, a main product page, or search results page) in print or digital formats for an instructive or illustrative purpose provided that you are in compliance with our usage guidelines. The uses must be unaltered: you can't superimpose graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot or change the look of the screen-captured image in any other way. Outside of screenshots, you do need to obtain our permission to use the Google logo.

You cannot use the logo on the cover of a publicly-available book or publication without our permission. Please submit a request and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device (or a combination thereof) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion. Read a list of Google's trademarks.

Rights to a trademark can survive indefinitely if an owner continues to use a mark to identify its goods and services. If trademarks are not used properly, they may become weak or lapse-putting one of the company's most important assets at risk. Rights may be lost not only by a trademark owner's improper use of its mark, but also by improper use of the mark by third parties or the public. Please use Google's trademarks consistent with the Rules for Proper Usage.

You will need to contact the trademark owner for permission. For more details, please review our Adwords Trademarks Policy.

We cannot approve any company names or application names that incorporate a Google trademark, or that are confusingly similar to Google's trademarks. If you state that your product is compatible with a Google product, the product must actually be compatible with that Google product. Any notice that your product is compatible with a Google product should be made in a referential matter using phrases such as "for" or "compatible with" or "for use with." If reference is made to a Google trademark in connection with your logo, your logo must be larger than the Google trademark. The first instance of the Google trademark should contain the TM symbol. Examples: "XYZ software for Android™" or "ABC plug-in for Google Chrome™".

Thanks for looking out for us! You can let us know about the violation here.
