By FCC logo I take it that you mean the DoC logo. If so, the DoC logo only applies under certain situations and is not for general use. Typically the FCC LOGO only applies and can only be used in those instances where the device can be certified or DoC'd. The devices that can use the DoC logo are found in CFR 47 15.101 and include such things as Class B computer peripheral device (class A cannot use the DoC logo), CB receivers, Superregenerative receivers, all other receivers subject to part 15 (receiver that tune between 30-960MHz only and which are not verified as part of a transceiver the transmitter of which is certified), TV interface devices, cable system terminal device, CPU boards and internal power supplies used in Class B personal computers, Class B personal computers assembled using authorized boards and power supplies.
No other device is supposed to or should use the DoC logo. Too many times, because of misinformation etc, companies try to put the DoC logo on digital devices that are not subject to certification or DoC and Class A computers or other type devices. For an exact definition of what can and cannot have the DoC logo you should refer to CFR47 15.101, Subpart J of part 2 namely 2.906. It should also be noted that testing for DoC must be done not only by an accredited lab but ONLY by an accredited lab having an MRA with the US or on US soil.

When should the FCC Logo be applied to a product vs. the FCC Statement . As I recall if the product is... 1) Meant for commercial use 2) An unintentional radiator 3) tested to be verified ( results of tests NOT maintained by the FCC ) by an independent lab to meet the FCC requirements IF ALL ABOVE IT TRUE THEN... the FCC statement (should be applied to the product and the manual. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR INPUT ON THIS ?
