The short answer is no, that should not be enough to get you rejected, as long as you do not use a direct copy of the facebook or twitter icons. There are plenty of apps that use similar images. As long as you don't make it sound like you are approved by facebook or twitter, Apple should be OK with it.

Interesting. Has anyone been rejected for using facebook's actual logo in the app? I'm using it to allow people to post a custom status update to facebook.

I've used a tiny version of the original (in the FBConnect dialog box), no problems.

You are allowed to use the facebook image for specific uses in your app, it's part of the agreement of using fbconnect,

Here are the official guidelines: Brand Resource Center | Facebook

Apple won't reject you for it, this is all an agreement with facebook itself
