(The GPL doesn't demand any change, so how could it possibly change?) However, for rights you want to keep, I'd suggest pointing them out in some sort of readme in the sources. ("The XXX Logo is a registered trademark of XXX Websites, Inc.".) Frankly, in the context of (say) a registered trademark, the GPL for the logo becomes fairly meaningless ... sure, you can get "the source", but you can't *use* it except in those cases where you'd get "the source" for a proprietary logo anyway, unless it's a really weird case.
