Well, I tried that and quickly found http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FBI_Badge.jpg
That is not a logo but a badge and fits right inside the statute Mike and the FBI are discussing. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000701----000-.html I've nominated this for deletion. There may be others. Also, this is a object not an image. It presents the same problems as an image of a statue.
