Show HN: Free Company Logo API

There has to be some level of fair use or copyright involved, no? You are taking corporate images, modifying them, and then distributing their modified brand/logo potentially without their consent. If they don't like the results, they could sue you.

Or at least, I feel that would be the case.

The trend is to have a different logo for apps and websites. another parameter might be helpful.

Hey Alex,

This is pretty sweet. Nice job! Is there a post where you talk about the tech behind this API? I've been working on a simple API that finds domain names from company names that I use on projects where I use business intelligence APIs like Clearbit and FullContact.
