(OP)
How does one insert a custom logo say from AutoCad. I.E. I have a block in my AutoCad with my company logo as a block. How do I insert the same block into the Solid Works Sheet template? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: import Custom Logo
Maybe as a Bitmap? Or you can put in an ACAD block

RE: import Custom Logo
If the logo is a ACAD drawing, you can import the file in SW and create an SW block. This block can be inserted in your drawing format.
If the logo is an image (bmp, jpeg, tif...), do not Insert/Object. Open the image in an image editor, select Edit\Copy (in the image editor), pick a point in the SW sheet or format, select Edit\Past (in SW).
In the second case, be carefull with the file size.

I find our logo is relativley simple - but to make it look good with sharp lines the smallest I could get it to was around 300kB
RE: import Custom Logo
If you try to insert a picture in SW (and not as copy/past) you will see an icon representing the image: not the image itself.
But there's a turn around. Creat a Word doc and insert the image in this doc. In SW Insert/Object/word.doc, select link to file and... voilá! You have a linked image now!
Good Luck
