Not if it is for corporate work or you have their written permission. ****Note From Asker*** Let me make sure I completely lay this out right. If I work for a corporation, say a full-service chain restaurant, and I use their logo in an ad in order to bring more business in am I breaking a law? I ask because I have recently been terminated for doing so I and I am fighting it. Any hard fact answers and directions pointing to where those answers can be found and referenced would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
You really need permission from the owner of the logo for any advertising or use of their copyrighted items. Assuming the logo is a trademark or is copyrighted, you do need that permission. It would be rare that a company would make this an issue unless the ad was put into some paper or for a group that has some controversy. They may feel your attempt was not innocent and had political overtones. Your position would need to be one of complete innocence. If there is zero issues in your mind over the placement of the ad, you could make a case.

It is best to seek permission or use alternative methods to represent the brand on your website.
Yes, if you use another company's logo that is already registered, it may be considered copyright infringement. The company that owns the logo in question may dispute your use of their logo.

The Disney logo is a really stylized rendition of the word "Disney." It is how Walt Disney, who started the company, signed his art.
It is illegal and charges will be brought against you for fraud. The company involved may also sue you for use of it's logo and product. I would suggest you not do it.
