Referencing LinkedIn in your business and branding

If you are planning on creating a business related to LinkedIn or providing LinkedIn consulting or training services, we want people to know your services come from you, not LinkedIn.

Examples

Do

  • You may use the LinkedIn trademark in standard characters with no stylization accompanied with the ® symbol to describe the services that you offer: LinkedIn®

Don't

  • Don’t copy or imitate LinkedIn’s website design, typeface, colors, graphics, or imagery.
  • Don’t adopt names that are confusingly similar to the Brand.
  • Don’t use the LinkedIn® trademark, Linkedin Logo, or [in] Logo in your social media account name, handle, or in social media posts other than in a descriptive manner to describe the services that you offer.
  • Don’t register or use a domain name that includes Linkedin in any part of the domain name.
  • Don’t use the Brand in a way that implies sponsorship, affiliation with or endorsement by LinkedIn of your products or services.
  • Don’t feature photos with the LinkedIn® trademark, Linkedin Logo, or [in] Logo to falsely imply a sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement with LinkedIn.
  • Don’t make the words “LinkedIn” or “in” the most prominent feature of your business or materials related to your business.
  • As noted in these Branding Guidelines, use of the [in] Logo is restricted to specific use cases, and should never be the most prominent feature of your business.
  • Use of the LinkedIn Logo is not permitted unless you have a separate License with LinkedIn.
