The core goal of Commons is maximal reuse. Commercial logos are frequently under _both_ trademark _and_ copyright.

Short version: Trademarks are very different from copyright. They are more like "other laws which restrict the free use" of (any) content and Commons does already allow seals, flags, coats of arms, Olympic symbols, the Red Cross and Crescent (all of which are protected quite like "commercial" trademarks) as well as Nazi symbols (the use of which is extremly restricted in some legislations such as DE, AT, HU).
I would recommend removing all of those.
