Can I use Adobe Fonts in a logo?
Yes
Yes. Adobe's licensing FAQ allows logos made with Adobe Fonts, and says the logo can be registered as a trademark.
Adobe's font licensing FAQ says you can use the fonts in any desktop app to create images or vector artwork for any purpose, and that you can copyright or register the resulting logo as a trademark. The typeface design itself can't be registered. These answers cover fonts you add through your Adobe account, not fonts you bought elsewhere.

What the licence says
Trademark registration
“Yes, you can copyright or register the logo as a trademark. However, the fonts or typeface designs used in the logo cannot be copyrighted or registered as a trademark”
Modifying outlined type
“Yes, you can modify or decorate type that has been rasterized or converted to outlines. The resulting image may be copyrighted, registered as a trademark, or used in commercial products.”
After you cancel
“Any file that embeds the font data, such as PDF or image formats, and any text that has been rasterized or outlined will continue to display correctly.”
What this means for client work
- Deliver the logo outlined (vector) or as images and the client doesn't need an Adobe Fonts licence.
- If the client wants to set new text in the same font (stationery, signage, a website), they need their own licence: Adobe says through Creative Cloud or a desktop licence.
- Adobe Fonts can't be packaged and sent to the client or printer. See Can I use Adobe Fonts for client work?
FAQ
Does my logo stop working if I cancel Creative Cloud?
No. Adobe says files with embedded font data, and text that has been outlined or rasterized, continue to display correctly. Live, editable text in documents will show a missing-font warning.
Can I trademark a logo made with an Adobe Font?
Adobe's FAQ says yes, you can register the logo as a trademark, but the font or typeface design itself can't be registered.
