Isn't that what geostationary orbit is? Unless I'm missing something here...

  Technically yes, but geostationary is over 22 thousand miles out (nearly a hundred times as far away as the ISS). You'd need a big-ass billboard.

    Ah, didn't consider that!

  Unless your logo is a straight line of dots (like Lastpass's recent logo change, I guess), you'd still have everything not on that line sine-wave wobbling once per day. You'd get one window of your logo looking good for maybe an hour or two, and 12 hours later, it would be upside down. Presumably you'd time it so your target audience sees the logo in the evening, but there are still some people likely to see it upside down in the sky. Marketing departments get fussy about things like that. Plus in that orbit you're much farther away, and need to be much brighter than the satellite proposed. You won't get "brightest star in the sky" with 12 sq meters of reflection from geosync. I'm pretty sure you'd get "effectively invisible".
