Some time ago, I suggested using Meta for this purpose. That would be the best solution; the second-best being to use Commons and expanding the scope to chapter logos and the like (as I suggested already: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Pikiwiki_logo.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=22003706)

Either would be acceptable. The status quo is not.

For some time Mediawiki has had the technical capacity to use more
than one shared media repository simultaneously.

My personal opinion is that non-free materials owned by the Foundation
(or chapters, or other authorized uses, etc) should really be shunted
to a separate repository with Commons reserved for truly free works.

This could be accomplished either by setting up a new wiki
specifically for that purpose or by converting an existing wiki, such
as Meta, to also serve as a shared repository.  The latter is my
preference.  Move all the unfree content to Meta and configure the
shared repository settings to also pull from Meta so that the various
logos and what not would still be accessible to all the projects
exactly as they are now.

I think the advantage of clearly separating free and unfree content
outweighs the disadvantage of having to maintain two repositories.
