I'm trying to convert a bunch of company logos to one single color (not just black and white). It's for a website I'm working on, for the "We support those products" type of thing.

Better results may be obtained by tracing the image to vector and then apply one single object color.

Add a 'Threshold' adjustment layer on top. You'll find it in he layers palette:



This will cause you to lose all anti-aliasing, though, for the layer reduces all variance and allows only white and your chosen monotone colour.

edit:

If you want to keep the anti-aliasing and don't mind fine-tuning settings for each image, you'd be better off with a curves layer instead. I had some succes with your example using a curve like this one:
