Names are one thing:  you can mention them as long as it is "fair comment".
 But logos are a lot more restrictive.

We still have to get Zeiss's permission to run a Zeiss Ikon logo in the
Zeiss Historica Society Journal, and Zeiss pulled the plug on Zeiss Ikon in
'72.

One interesting note:  German companies are often slow to respond.
Advising them you're going to use it if you don't hear from them in, say,
ninety days often results in silence:  by the time they've made a corporate
decision, six months have passed on.

Better safe than sorry is the best rule here.
