I've been wondering about that. AFAIK CC-licenses aren't about trade mark law. So, anyone else won't be able to use te logo even if it is part of a CC'd work, since it will be protected as a trade mark. Isn't it the same discussion as about the moral rights and personality rights? A free copyright-license doesn't mean you wave moral or personality rights (so, Virgin can't use the picture they used just by claiming it's CC), nor does it wave trade mark rights (so, we can't use Virgin's logo even if it would be part of a CC'd work).

aproaching a free licsense.
