I know the actual logos are trademarked, but the proposals aren't. If these are creations by Wikimedians, then hopefully they are under a free license. They should be uploaded to Commons and organized, if so!

For the most part no. They were deliberately ot released so the the copyright could be transferred to the foundation. Some have since been released when they found other uses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Example.jpg for example) but most have not been.
