First off, we are not lawyers. We cannot give you legal advice.
That said, you should not use art you do not own in your app, regardless of how you use it. As an app icon, it may well count as a logo depending on the legal/applicable definition of that term. It certainly counts as copyright infringement if you don't have the rights to the art in question.
Ideally, the company you're working with should be supplying the app icon and other art. If they're unable to do that, they don't sound terribly professional. Art is not (usually) the coder's responsibility. Check with the company and get a consistent answer.
As Jonathan said so well above, I am not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt... it is not legal advice.
Whether or not an image can be used with an extended license, without full-on purchasing the rights, seems to depend on it is technically a logo or not. Also, whether you are trademarking the image. The logo part is where things get grey... and I haven't been able to find any clear answer on it. There may not BE a clear answer.

首先，我们不是律师。我们无法为您提供法律建议。
也就是说，您不应该在您的应用中使用不属于您的艺术品，无论您如何使用它。作为应用程序图标，它很可能被视为徽标，具体取决于该术语的法律/适用定义。如果您不拥有相关艺术作品的权利，那么这肯定会构成版权侵权。
理想情况下，与您合作的公司应该提供应用程序图标和其他艺术品。如果他们做不到这一点，那么他们听起来就不太专业。艺术（通常）不是编码员的责任。与公司核实并得到一致的答案。

正如乔纳森在上面所说的那样，我不是律师，所以对此持保留态度……这不是法律建议。
图像是否可以在不完全购买权利的情况下通过扩展许可使用，似乎取决于它在技术上是否是徽标。另外，您是否正在为该图像注册商标。徽标部分是灰色的地方......我还没有找到任何明确的答案。可能没有明确的答案。
