Okke,
        You will have to edit the postscript file. In this case your logo.
Search the file using vi (visual editor, etc.) to find gsave. Below that 
should be the translate position of the postscript file. It is usually in point
s
but can be changed to inches, as shown below. This measurement is in map inches
and the origin, I believe, is the upper left corner of the map. You can also
change the scale of your logo from within the postscript file.  I hope the
example file below will help you make sense of my instructions.:)
THIS IS THE ACTUAL FILE....

GRASS 4.1 > more CAST3X1.ps
/inch {72 mul} def
/picstr 646 string def
/plotimage

  {currentfile picstr readhexstring pop}
  image
} def
gsave
4.732 inch 0.875 inch translate
3 inch 1 inch scale
plotimage
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Hope this helped.
