Major companies rushed to show they were celebrating after the Supreme Court announced a historic ruling legalizing gay marriage across the country on Friday.

In a 5-4 ruling, the court stated Friday morning that the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and that states must recognize same-sex marriages performed out of state.

Company logos were decked out in rainbows and tweets and Facebook posts waxed poetic about equality. Public attitudes toward gay marriage are reaching new heights of acceptance, and connecting a brand to the civil rights landmark is any easy way to add a progressive, socially aware aura and connect a company to the nationwide revelry on a day when President Obama said "America is a place where you can write your destiny."

And with many brands already celebrating Pride month, those multi-colored icons and product-placement scenes of same-sex domestic bliss were likely already on hand for the occasion.

Here's how every business from multinational corporations to bootstrapping startups reacted to the news.
