Those company-legitimacy boxes are useful for b2b sales when you're trying to sell a product that the companies in question actually pay for. This doesn't seem to be what you're trying to do so IMO I agree with the GP and you're better off removing it.

Look at the ReactJS homepage (https://reactjs.org/), it's the same as yours minus b2b fluff, and heaven knows they could list some companies in there :)
