If you want to convert an image to an LDraw-compatible format, you could also
use my Bitsticker script: http://anoved.net/bitsticker.html
It converts small images to LDraw "stickers." You could position a sticker of
your logo in front of a torso, or with a bit more work you could indeed merge
the sticker with a torso.
As an example, I've made a custom torso with a random picture of me on the
front. I used Bitsticker's "scale to fit" option with a 24 x 24 area (the size
of the hole left in the torso). It took a bit of chicanery to shift the image
into position, so it's not exactly easy as pie, but it's certainly possible.

Bitsticker is best suited to photographic images; if your logo is fairly simple,
it would probably be much more efficient to create it in LDraw normally.
Let me know if you have any other questions about using Bitsticker.
