it is not OK, Unless website is Under Opensource Terms. Especially Graphics, They are heavily copyrighted.
For example Google, I was a Unix/Linux system admin of a company website , which is a web development company. We do not copy anyone else design , we did our own , But under a page which is for SEO , we had Google/Yahoo/MSN Screeshots and Logo mentioning about our SEO Services . Then within a few months An email from google arrived asking us to Remove Properity logos of google and screenshots, and to replace with Royalty free logos they provided.
