Scratch Logo Usage Rights

I'm making a project related to Scratch that uses ScratchAttach to fetch forum posts, followers, and other site stats. I'm wondering if I'm allowed to use the Scratch “S” in part of the logo for this project. I specifically want to use this Scratch S icon from SimpleIcons, colored white. Do I have permission to use this or should I do something else?

Edit: This project is not being made in Scratch. It's made with Python.

Im pretty sure if it's outside of scratch, you need to ask the ST for permission

Well, according to the terms of use, I am using it to refer to the Scratch website. I'm just wondering if I'm allowed to use it in a README for a Git repository, for example.

I don't know much about this, but I'd guess it's fine. You may need to ask someone that knows more about this stuff, as I'm only going off what I know.

You can use it if you are referring to Scratch, but can't use it as part of the logo for your own project. So, you could say “Works with Scratch” and use the logo in that context (since it's clear that you are referring to Scratch and not your own thing).

Ah, thank you. This is what I needed.
