Fun fact about trademarks - US copyright laws have, rightfully, a high threshold of originality, making most corporate trademarks public domain and uncopyrightable, as basic geometry shapes and fonts (even fancy ones) are too simple. Wikimedia has collected many copyright office rejection letters over the years for reference, and it's pretty hilarious to read. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Threshold_of_originality#United_States_of_America

This allowed Wikipedia to collect a large number of high-resolution logos, sometimes you can even see SVG recreation made by editors for ancient logos from now-defunct companies. Trademark laws still apply, but using them to describe the entities they represent is always legal...
