Is that picture interpreted as a logo?

Q1: There is a label on standard license terms like: "You may post the asset to a website or social media site with no limitation on views." At this point can we put a standard licensed asset to our non commercial instagram page profile picture? Is this interpreted as logo and can the copyright holder of the stock image blame us about copyright? Please identifiy and illuminate us about this grey zone

 

Q2: If we buy a stock image with standard license to use as background of a concept and post it on instagram, is there a view limit (500.000) or the label "You may post the asset to a website or social media site with no limitation on views." is also valid for this?

Should be okay if you expect less than 500,000 views

But it is told in standard license that "Post the asset to a website or social media site with no limitation on views" 

And i have to highlight a point in in question: gör example we have created an instagram page for non commercial personal use like hobby and set the standard licensed stock image as profile image, does the copyright holder of that image blame us about using his/her image as logo?

or there are other requirements which makes an image logo (ex: registration as logo, using it on commercial firm or page etc) ?

Non commercial or commercial use does not make a difference. It's the intended use that is imortant. You cant't use Adobe stock assets as logo, as a logo requires exclusive use, and Adobe does not give you exclusive use to their assets. Logos do not need to be registred, but registration will provide protection against misuse. But you can't register Adobe stock assets.
