You need to be more specific. If it's for private use, is it a registered farm vehicle, recreational vehicle, or other vehicle exempt from classification as a commercial vehicle under FMCSR? In those cases, no, you don't. You might, however, be required to display "Not For Hire" on the sides of that vehicle.

There's no logo requirement on a commercial vehicle. On a Class 8 tractor--a semi--you need the license plate (base plate) and either a DOT number or "not for hire."

Commercial vehicles are defined as vehicles that are owned or registered to a company, instead of an individual.
