If it is from a reputable company, install it.

Logo testing does not "proof" a device driver. Logo'd drivers are as
susceptible to failure and bad interactions as un-Logo'd drivers. The Logo
program does provide an additional testing environment that catches a lot of
problems before consumers get them. However, it is more of a "piece-of-mind"
placebo for the end user than an absolute certification and proof that a
driver will not fail. Since it is time consuming and a bit costly, companies
have a tendency to release pre-Logo'd drivers, generally the same binaries
minus the certificate, before they have passed WHQL.

To follow on to Gary's note, it may be that the driver is actually unsigned
or it could be you are having a problem that several others have had. For
this latter issue, I have included a link below that is supposed to help
resolve that.
