The situation is somewhat different for logos. In general, we like to illustrate an article about an organisation by including its logo. In most cases these are subject to copyright; however we follow a similar approach tlgbo Wikipedia in making use of such logos - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Logos for a much fuller discussion (although in the context of American law).
