For everything that you want to talk about?  If you are going to use an 
example of logos, sure, you can find *an example* of a PD logo.  But 
even the WMF logo is not public domain.... it isn't even a free content 
license.  The only way you can use the WMF logo in a Wikimedia project 
(in an article or book module) is under fair use concepts.  Of course 
such a fair use application would have to be in context.
