Step 1 - Preparing the Timeline

Drag the image into the timeline beneath the video layer. Select your original media layer and go to the Inspector window. Click on the drop zone placeholder. Then select the PNG image in the timeline, and click the blue "Apply Clip" button in the FCPX Viewer window. Once the logo is in the drop zone, you can discard the image from the timeline.
