I dont know about Illustrator, but i would open it up in photoshop, then image - ajustments - hue/saturation
move the saturation slider all the way to the left, and mess with the lightness slider
Hope this helps

Think best results would be when you select all you shapes and make them all with a fill of none and a borderline (very thin) in grey r black.
Then use bucket tool to fill with black r white manually.

Open it up in photoshop first, then desaturate it by hitting ctrl + shift + U on your keyboard. Or try adding an adjustment layer, particularly a gradient map with a black and white gradient.

You can try out everything they say direcly in Illustrator though, cos after rasterizing your logo, it will have same basic filters as in photoshop.
