On our home page https://txmn.org/bptmn/, I would like to use the iNaturalist Logo in the Top Left of the iNat home page, then when it is clicked on from our blog it will route to our iNat Project?
I searched through your forum and could not find a topic related to this request.
Please let me know if it is ok, if not is there another way to do this?

This implies that you cannot use any iNaturalist branding or logos in your own site. Having said that, have you seen the observations widget?
It contains the iNaturalist logo, and is supplied for the express purpose of placing on your blog or other external site…
Hi @bptxmn, welcome! Apologies for the delay. Using the iNaturalist logo to add a link to your iNaturalist project from the Master Naturalists page is definitely ok. You don’t need our approval to use the logo in editorial contexts (i.e. writing about iNaturalist) or referral contexts (what you’re doing here with linking to an iNaturalist project page).
I recommend that you use one of the logos available on our press page. For convenience I’m also uploading just the iNaturalist wordmark here that you can use without the bird attached or .org.
Thanks for checking the Terms of Service, @mftasp. It’s intended more to clarify that you can’t use our logo to go make & sell “iNaturalist binoculars” or something. I will note that we should try to clarify permission for the use case @bptxmn describes.
