Are you promoting the company, like an affiliate of them? Do you have their express written permission to use their trademark icons etc? So companies do allow it, but they may have strict guidelines about using their trademarks, logos etc. Think you'll definitely need to check with the company before you do anything.

Sometimes they put this info on their website, like correct and incorrect ways to display and use their trademarks, logos, icons., e.g. here's the brand guidelines for Android.
