Just to be clear, Google using the Classroom product doesn't implicitly grant you permission to use their logo on your marketing materials. Did you obtain permission from the listed entities to use their logos?

I probably did, it's been a year though so I'm not entirely sure. For what it's worth this really is not needed and I actually hate the "look at all the logos" sections on websites so I just pushed a fix to remove it.

It’s hard to make a man happy without making another one sad. I hate that it’s true, but look at all the logos you recognize using this product is the only way I can ever get my completely non tech literate boss to sign off on any new tech. :(

Maybe you can find a way to demonstrate its usefulness without its endorsements :)

Probably a super unpopular opinion here on hn but your boss `aint completely wrong. It's not a bad strategy when considering starting a business relationship with someone or something you don't know much about.

Agreed. I expressed some concerns about the now dead "trusted by" section as well https://twitter.com/stephenrigsby/status/973640170648956929 .

Also why is your comment kinda-greyed out?

It was downvotes heavily (5 downvotes). "Move fast and break things, including business ethics and trademark laws" must be the prevailing thought among the HN readership
