As long as the usage is in line with ASF-wide trademark policy:
    http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/
personally I see no problem.

If you want to really get an authoritative answer to your legal team,
the easiest way (which I personally used a number of time) is to
send exact wording/art to vp-brand@apache.org and ask for explicit
approval.

Thanks,
Roman.
