Be careful with copyright issues. How do you make it work? Do you scrape them automatically or gather them from the brands marketing materials?

I tried different logos, and I find a few issues:

https://logo.clearbit.com/mcdonalds.com?size=256

Mcdonalds US logo background should be red (http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/newsroom/image_and_video_l... )

https://logo.clearbit.com/bk.com?size=256

The quality of that one is bad. Wikipedia's one is a .svg : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Burger_King_Logo.svg



I don't think they'll have copyright issues, it'd probably be considered fair use.

As for the McDonalds logo, I suspect the turquoise is because that's the current background colour of mcdonalds.com


Or because it's from here: https://twitter.com/mcdonalds


Ah, that makes more sense. It was mentioned below that it seems to be using Twitter.


I don't see any red backgrounds in your link.
