Narrative:
Our ramp control cleared our flight to the gate via taxiway F. Shortly after entering company area of airport crew observed some new deice trucks parked close to the taxiway. I could see the #1 engine from flight deck and clearance looked ok. Proceeded to gate. 1 1/2 hours later I got a call that #1 nacelle had a scratch. Company measured trucks from centerline of taxiway. Trucks were not parked properly. Supplemental information from acn 324440: aircraft taxied into ramp area via clearance (radio) following guidelines and struck an adjacent parked deicing truck with #1 nacelle. Truck was white against snow background and not in a marked area.
