Steve beat me to it, but I would follow the FAQ example and just add in 
a symbol:

LAYER
   NAME "copyright"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE point
   TRANSFORM ll #set the image origin to be lower left
   FEATURE
     POINTS
       60 -10 #set the offset from lower left position in pixels
     END
     #TEXT "� xyz company 2006" #this is your displaying text
   END
   CLASS
     STYLE
       SYMBOL '../etc/mylogo.gif'
     END
   END
   UNITS PIXELS #sets the units for the feature object
END
