The trademark or registered trademark symbols are generally displayed immediately following the protected words or images (see the "Answers.com" and "WikiAnswers" logos at the top of this page).
The location of a copyright notification varies appreciably more. In books, they appear on their own page, generally the reverse of the title page. Notifications for recordings appear in the liner notes, and in the embedded metadata of digital files. The bottom right-hand corner is a popular place to mark photographs and prints, while sheet music will have it on the bottom of the first page of music.

For example, the McDonald's brand applies to "hospitality services in the form of restaurants" (among other services) as well as many of the actual goods you can obtain from McDonald's.
Is it illegal to put a designer's logo on a piece of clothing and either sell it or wear it yourself?
Yes! This is a potential infringement of copyright and trademark laws. Since a logo is often a trademark for a particular product or brand, using the logo without explicit permission is punishable by law. And because most logos are more than mere letters, they usually have copyright protection. So using the logo may be seen as a copyright violation. If you want to use another's logo, seek a license or contact them to see what you might be able to do with it. You'd also be wise to consult a lawyer.
