[i got a message that this email failed so i'll try again] Sorry Joanna, here at Philips Consumer Electronics {Magnavox}, we put the logo on the boards on the component silk screen or the bottom {solder} side copper. The only other OEM i worked for did the same thing. The only thing i could suggest (unless you are using single sided boards) with no component legend silk screen would be reverse image in the solder mask, preferably over a copper fill on the top {component} side of the board [bottom side would end up as a collection of solder blobs if wave soldering]. You also might want to solicit the opinion of your legal department on this as it may involve some common law copyright issues.
