This could be very useful if we want to display company logos on product or team/company pages programatically. Nice work, @maccaw, @apv87, and @oniworks.

We've been finding this API useful internally across admin dashboards etc, and we're super excited to be opening it up to the world. 🎉 Having access to company logos through a simple API (literally just an image tag) has so many use-cases - from CRMs to job boards to pretty much any SAAS company's signup flow. We're hoping that this API will become the Gravatar of company logos. Let us know if you've any suggestions on how to improve the API.

Possible to aggregate same sites but having different TLDs?

Pros:

Easy to install API.

Cons:

only shows 4 results in autocomplete.

Jamie Lawrence
Oh, yes! This is going to be so useful for marketing purposes (automated customer wall anyone?) or SaaS services which allow companies to upload their own logo. Brilliant!
Justin Mitchell
You have no idea how perfect of timing this is! I'm working on an app right now that needs this exact service.
Xavier Castaneda
Awesome concept. Something that I would use routinely. Is there some explanation of the algorithm / priority tree when generating the logo? I tried a few examples and the results were mixed. On my personal site, nothing was even generated. If i knew some of the "behind the scenes", I could optimize my sites so that this api would always find the right image.

Liking this! Utility is bit limited if one must check to see if the art is the "official" logo -- necessary in some use cases. For those and for brands with control issues, consider creating a custom image tag for each logo format you ultimately support. Brands can then publish their "approved" artwork for easy retrieval by your API.

Oh jeez, amazingly useful. Any way to *add* a company, if it's not yet been indexed?
Alex MacCaw
@clarklab No need! :) The first time you request a logo that hasn't been indexed, we'll go out and index the company.
Simon Males
@maccaw What if I get a 404?
Alex MacCaw
@simonmales @clarklab As soon as the cache expires you'll get the real logo.

Nice! It would had have been great if you'd provide a textbox in which we can type in URLs to test this on. This time to quickly test it out I had to open the Developer Tools and change the image URL to the one I wanted to test.
Adam Cooke
@drorco You mean like your address bar?
Dror Cohen
@adamcooke @drorco just much more convenient in the sense that I wouldn't have to copy the whole thing, also not force me to lose context of the website and it would also be nice if it would let me test it in different sizes, all through a simple widget.

@drorco @adamcooke great idea. Added to the logo page: https://clearbit.com/logo

We've gotten dinged by a company's legal counsel (and had to pay fees) when we've used an organization's logo without their permission. How do you overcome this?

This is amazing. ✌ I'm sure it's on @maccaw et al.'s radar, but I wish there was a way to crowdsource image selections — a public interface for voting on logos Clearbit's robot found, possibly feeding back to the robot to improve its logo selection in the future. Many of the logos selected for iconic companies aren't great, e.g. https://logo.clearbit.com/disney..., https://logo.clearbit.com/apple.com, https://logo.clearbit.com/google..., https://logo.clearbit.com/hp.com

I'd also love to see support for a few standard aspect ratios, possibly landscape and square to start off with.

Logos of companies of a certain size generally have brand guidelines with a bunch of do's/don'ts when displaying their logo (example: https://zapier.com/about/brand/). I imagine applying greyscale would violate such guidelines.
Lewis Lebentz
This is very cool. How does it work though? Tried it on my site, where I don't have a logo, and it picked out my profile picture from a Twitter widget.
Alex MacCaw
Oh and here's Product Hunt's logo! https://logo.clearbit.com/produc...
Mayank Jhawar

I suggest if you can have image manipulation via same APIs like I can play with size of logo as per my need Or I can play with filters on logo to show case. That will enhance the product

Pros:

API WORKS amazing

Cons:

No cons
