Is it currently possible to have a company logo appear with a Google search result?

Hello,

We're experimenting with rich snippets. It seems fairly easy to attain authorship through Google and have a headshot appear in a search result...

However, we are wondering if it is possible to have a company logo appear (perhaps through rel="publisher"?). Surprisingly, I can't find much info on this.

Thanks!

Rel=publisher will display your company logo and Google+ page on the right hand side of branded search terms (search terms close to or exactly your company name).

Google will not allow you to upload a non-headshot (such as a logo) for a rel=author snippet that will appear directly in your search result.

I've considered this but would this be a problem considering it is not an author but a company? I'd like to see someone who is implementing this where they are using their logo.

Meaning wouldn't Google frown upon this?

here is a  great blog post on why you should do it as well

the reason I ask is you say company logo. You could make your Personal & company photo the same in Google + photo your company logo and thus it would show up as you.

I did a little research and I think that is what you have to do is make them both one you can only have one unfortunately what I understand however these links I believe will shed a lot more light on this. I strongly suggest using a photo of yourself or your company's logo regardless and putting it as Google author
