When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Used in a legal context, then "trademark" is to be preferred. In commercial contexts and indeed, in colloquial contexts, then "brand" or "brand name" would be common.

I do agree that the term "esneigne", close to "sign", meaning company etc can also be translated to mean "logo". Nowadays, however, it is now very commonly used to mean "company".
Google the following phrase for example :
"les produits de l'enseigne" which gets more than 133,000 hits, and you will see examples of this usage.

Whilst not denying therefore that "enseigne"can mean "logo" or indeed "sign" (as in signalétique, panneau etc), it has long come to have a widespread use as a synonym of company. Financial and economic journals use it, particularly when referring to ell-known high-street names, chains of supermarkets, boutiques, banks and so on.
Other examples where "enseigne" is used to mean company, business etc :

Voici une nouvelle enseigne installée à Roquefort, sur la zone artisanale de Larrouy. Il s'agit de Micro@cro, boutique de dépannage informatique doublée de vente de matériel, à domicile et en atelier. C'est le Sérignacais Sébastien Cheminais qui a décidé d'installer son commerce à Roquefort depuis le 16 août dernier. Auparavant, il exerçait chez lui, à domicile.

Les Français prêts à abandonner leur enseigne traditionnelle pour une banque en ligne
Ne cessant de faire de nouveaux adeptes, grâce aux tarifs attractifs qu’elles affichent et aux nombreux services innovants auxquels elles ont donné naissance, les banques en ligne gagnent peu à peu du terrain sur leurs homologues plus traditionnelles et tendent, aujourd’hui, à les dépasser, comme le montre la nouvelle étude Crédoc-monabanq., qui vient de dégager le profil des usagers de ces nouveaux prestataires, fraîchement apparus sur ce marché et qui réussissent tout de même, malgré l’immobilisme chronique dont souffre ce dernier, à le révolutionner.

Pourquoi choisir l'achat en ligne plutôt que l'achat dans une enseigne traditionnelle ?
Si on y réfléchit bien, l'achat en ligne présente bien des avantages !

: Enseigne refers to the logo. (Would request you to correct it, if possible. TIA) Rest of your explanation is excellent and very useful.

See additional note above. Note that "esneigne" has at least three similar but different meanings. The one I gave here at the top of my post is the one which I believe applies in this instance.

Discussion
IPO UK on Brand: A company's brand refers to a combination of tangible and intangible elements such as the trade mark, design, logo and also the concept, image and reputation associated with that business. http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-about/t-faq/t-faq-brand.htm Compare Disney brand vs Disney logo!
Careful use of trademark would mean that it is registered (whereas a brand does not have this connotation).
