Can we add social media icons to business cards products?

[RookChester]

I would like to design business cards and have been looking at the various social media rules for using their icons.

It looks like Twitter wants only their blue bird to be used, yet I see it in black --- a black glyph.

I see black icons for Facebook and Instagram and Pinterest and YouTube. Are these icons required to be in the brands' colors?

I don't want to put anything on a Zazzle product that would be in violation of a company's rules, but I would like to use the black icons on business cards.

Does anyone know for certain what is allowed?

Thanks!

For twitter—
The basics
Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we love it, are protective of it and ask you to follow the rules when you use it.
Here’s how:
Only show the logo in Twitter
blue or white. You can use black for certain exceptions (please reach out to us for approval).
Don’t alter, rotate, or modify the logo.
Don’t animate the logo or make it talk, chirp, or fly.
Don’t use outdated versions of the logo.
Color
Remember, the Twitter logo is always either blue or white.
When placing the logo on an image, always use the white version.
For images with a light background, we suggest applying a 10-20% black tint to the entire image, so that the white logo is legible.
There may be some exceptions to the rule. Please reach out for permissions

Pinterest  logo

Our primary logo is a circle with a script “P” knocked out of the middle. Use the EPS and high resolution PNGs provided below. While our primary logo is red, it may also take a contextual color approach, allowing it to feel cohesive with your brand communications. Aside from the exception of changing to contextual colors, please do not alter our logo with other elements like filters or effects.

You can go to the other sites and review their guidelines to get their information on logo usage.

It doesn’t matter that you have seen logos that violate their trademark. Either they have permission from that company, or more likely they haven’t been caught yet.
if you have questions, email or phone and ask them directly.
