My wife is an IP attorney at a large UK based law firm. We have discussed this exact thing before (in this thread).
She worked on a client matter for a banking app that wanted to show the logo of each company next to the transaction. This was not cleared by legal given that the law only allows for the bare minimum reference.
I think it's dumb because a logo is faster to see in a list vs. text, but it doesn't matter. I think IP laws are so backwards in the modern era, but thems the rules.
Apple Maps also uses the logos when you bring up location details.
