Of course you would need to tweak original login forms.

• For the logout is simple just call the proper page in the _layouts folder "/_layouts/signout.aspx" (Site collection relative!)
• For the login, one approach is again to redirect to the proper page as explain here, in the bottom of the article (http://kalashnikovtechnoblogs.blogspot.ch/2011/08/custom-login-page-for-sharepoint-2010.html)
