_imageattach

When doing imageattach, be sure to set the path type to relative, or even no path, and then ensure that you include it when issuing .dwg files digitally.

you will have to etransmit the drawing everytime you issue it as there is no way of 'binding' an image like an xref. Of course if you are just pdfing then your fine.

Actually, since this is a logo in a title block, I would insert the image as an OLE object. That way, it will be embedded in the Cad file and you won't have to worry about it losing it's reference when moving or sending files.

Open the image in MS Paint and then Edit > Select All > Copy
In AutoCAD Edit > Paste Special > Picture (Metafile)

The only potential pit-fall with that is when the client changes their logo. Rare, i know, but I have experienced it, and images were inserted as a logo, and was a pain in the donkey to replace it on all drawings.

If it is a relatively simple image, you could use a rater to vector converter. Download the free trial of R2V at http://www.download32.com/raster-to-...2v-i18894.html

As long as you xref your title block into your drawings, it's just a simple case of deleting the OLE and replacing it with the new one. Were you not xreffing your title block?
