Some information about relation of logo and trademark. (Just for background 
information.)

By definition logo (ie. logotype) is the font used to regonize the company. 
The mark, sing or symbol (what ever it is called, I don't know the excact 
translation for finnish word "liikemerkki" in english, trademark could be 
the closest one) is currently (after graphical applications and print 
technology has evolved) commonly used with logotype. That's the reason why 
people commonly think that the trademark equals to logo.

Trademark can be designed so that it can be used with or without logotype. 
Even in if trademark would be used without the actual logotype, there is 
logotype which is designed to be used with trademark.
