: Can I use the Apple Logo in a low run ad (think bulletinboards, not magazines + billboard)? I'm wondering if it would be possible to use the Apple Logo in a really cheap, low-run, homemade

@Steve758

I think -- no lawyer here -- a case could be made for fair use -- if you are absolutely clear that you are offering a service for Apple customers, say, and not that you are offering any Apple-owned product or service, or have the right to use their logo.

To stay on the legal side: Read Apple's rules on what they allow as told in comments. Do not think that "this is so small thing that Apple doesn't care". They will care if they notice and you will pay maybe 000,- for their costs to cover the caused damage that can be judged to be only $ 100,- or so. Of course, it can be that Apple consider your effort to be useful for Apple's goals. Then, maybe, no consequences. But to be sure, send your work to Apple or its local representative to get a written and signed acceptance before a cry.

The following is ok without a written acceptance:


A line in the program sheet of Säynämäki Village Summer Festival that states the time and place for "The meeting of senior age friends of iPod" Apple logo there not much bigger than one character.


The following may do need some thinking and refining:
