Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a logo to an existing or a pending trademark. As a matter of fact, it is not possible to add any extra elements (written or visual) to a pending or registered trademark.
If you decide to change your brand logo by adding an additional element, it is advisable to submit a new application with the new version of the mark that is currently in use.
Furthermore, if you wish to add a new class of goods/services to an existing trademark or a pending application, you have to file a new application as well.
I am a Canadian citizen and I want to trademark a name in the US. Can this be done?

Can I start using the brand with the trademark application still pending?
I want to register an US trademark in one class; how much would that cost?
What sales do I need to make to satisfy the in-commerce requirement?

If I register a trademark under my personal name, can I later change it so that my business owns it?
