You could use the drawImage method. Maybe something like so:

try
{
    BufferedImage source = ImageIO.read(new File("..."));
    BufferedImage logo = ImageIO.read(new File("..."));

    Graphics g = source.getGraphics();
    g.drawImage(logo, 0, 0, null);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Create a BufferedImage with desired size. Use getGraphics() of the image and paint the first image and then the second one. Graphics has the method

public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, 
                      Color bgcolor,
                      ImageObserver observer)
