Things like advertisements, where form is more important than content,
and the result will never be reused, are generally best done in graphic
or page description languages (e.g., PostScript).  Business cards are
of course reusable, so this argument does not apply quite as well.

The most straightforward way to put a logo onto a page using TeX is
to make the logo a character (or several characters) in a METAFONT font.
There are even consultants who will do this for you.
