Company logos as track icons?
Would it be illegal for me to post track icons I put together of various VST Company logos using the same color scheme as the track icons that come with Reaper? Or wrong to remix images that came with Reaper into other icons? Like changing the acoustic guitar to be another color or using the meter symbol and kick drum to symbolize a parallel compressed kick drum bus? I've arranged 100 icons of various things I thought might be useful, though many are variations using the same symbols. I wanted to check before posting them on the stash. I plan on making no money. I only wish to aid people in their enjoyment of the products these companies sell to people. I appreciate any advice on the matter.

something I learned as a kid:
"If you have to ask the answer is NO!"
IMO... just do it
if anyone really complains you can always remove them.

Pretty sure company logos are licensed copyrighted items.
For your own personal use, I'd guess you could use them, but probably anything that gets used publicly, would not be legal to use without permission and/or. Paying a royalty fee.

garyo is right of course .... but using, say, an EZdrummer logo on your tracks can only really encourage one to use EZdrummer, there is no real point in having that logo on your track unless you are using the product in question.
Which doesn't make it legal, but it does blur the lines just a bit further IMHO.

Well I put them up hoping they will be taken as free advertisement for the company. Anywhere it pops up where potential customers can see I would say is a good thing. If there is a problem I can always take it down. Here is a link to all the ones I assembled. Please let me know if there are any others I can make. I had a lot of fun doing these and its nice to give back when I am always consuming other peoples work.

nice work!
I think the OP's aim was not colored but rather icons in the style of the default set that comes with reaper...
better get yer copy before the lawsuits start.

Is there a possibility to modify a theme so that the icon appears on the left of the TCP instead?

I could try and color them but once I have to start picking colors things are gonna get crazy. I am gonna end up making over 1000 icons of the same things just to cover all the bases. I would rather just expand the default set. Anyone can shrink a colored photo to the size of an icon. I am currently working on some more. If anybody has any ideas let me know. I might also break it into 2 sets. One with the logos and one without.
