It depends on the message you're trying to send.

  • "this company is evil and/or a figure of fun" may be defensible as commentary, but you'd need to be willing to defend it in court.
  • "this logo is cool" would require permission, and you never know how that's going to go.
  • "this company supports this art" would be considered fraudulent.

A sandwich would only be protected by copyright if it were literally a work of art.
