Is it legal to post a completed test task (layout) in your portfolio?

Question

Layout

Hello, the situation is this, when applying for a vacancy, they offered to complete a test task - to make up several pages according to the provided layouts, pictures, icons and fonts. I completed the task, but the vacancy closed.
There are thoughts of adding such completed tasks to your portfolio (for example, on github), so that the work is not in vain. But here a logical question arises, but will this not be a copyright infringement?
In this layout, for example, employer pictures were used, as well as the trade names of three trademarks, two in the footer (i.e. copyright: © 2018 "Company") and one in the header marked "TM", i.e. "Company ™". Of course, no papers were signed, only correspondence by mail.
Please tell me who has experience, what in this case I have the right to post according to the law, and what not? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If this is a test task and is sent to all potential employees, then it is logical that it is distributed freely and employers do not claim any copyright, so you can use a similar task in your portfolio. The question is, is it worth it?

Answer 2

For a paid test task - you can not.
And it is also impossible to use the name of the customer or his materials (logos, etc.) without the permission of the potential employer.

Answer 3

Were there real trademarks on the test task?
It looks like you did not do a test task, but a whole commercial project)
The situation is twofold: if such a company really exists, then the trademarks belong to it.
However, layout - as an object of intellectual property - already belongs to you.
You can check the existence of the company, for example, through the site "for honest business".
Therefore, I support those who have already written the answers: the best way is to replace the trademarks with stubs and, in my opinion, you can safely upload the work to your portfolio.
ps Learn js and go to the frontend. The layout designer profession is much less paid and much more prone to such collisions.

Answer 4

If it is not explicitly agreed with the employer that publication is prohibited, then it is possible.
