Dear Mr. Altaf,
Yes, you may use the standard logo of the client under the client list in your profile. Regardless, to the business it depends on how you want to disclose but generally no client does object as it's a kind of promotion to your patrons.

Dear Altaf
To avoid any dispute, it is advisable to seek the written approval from clients for the usage (whether it is the logo or the company name).
It is a common practice to use logos in presentation slides and the more prominent companies are used. It is usually just a sample of your clients and not the full listing. Another common practice is having moving logos on company website for the same reason.
Having said so, you still need to have a full listing of all your clients (without the logo) as potential clients may request for it.
