Using copyrighted logo for wallpaper.
Is using a registered trademark logo within my design an infringement on the Terms of Service?
I plan to upload an image for my twitter home design that includes a logo of a company I have no affiliation with.

Inappropriate?I don't work for Twitter, but I thought I'd offer my opinion.
Short answer: If in doubt, don't do it.
Long answer:
I think it depends on the context. If you're creating a background that includes images of things in which you're interested, or if proper attribution is cited on the image.
As long as you're not purporting to represent the company and it's clear that the logo isn't your own creation (and you're not using it to promote your own business or generate any other financial gain), it's probably okay - not in the strictest sense of copyright law, but in a general 'meh, who cares' kind of way.
Again, if you're concerned? Don't use it. Or better yet, see if the company to whom the logo belongs has a Twitter presence or other well-established dialogue with customers. If they do, run it by them. Chances are, they'll be all "yeah, whatevs."
I’m probably gonna get sued. ;)
