The short answer
The safest Google reviews icon is the one Google gives you. The free Business Profile marketing kit includes review stickers and graphics with the Google logo already approved for that use. On your website, a plain "Review us on Google" button linked to your review link works too. Don't redraw or recolor the Google logo.
Google allows its logo in some marketing uses and asks that it isn't changed, stretched, or made to look like Google endorses you. Using the kit's files keeps you inside those rules without reading them. Icon packs on free download sites often ship old or altered logos.
