I think the quickest solution to adding a logo to your studel.dat instances would be to simply
edit that file and add one of the provided logos
https://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/Primitives_R...primitives
to it.
For example, to get a logo mimicked by a line-drawing
which becomes visible in LDView but not in a 3D rendering:
1 16 0 -4 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 logo.dat
Or, to get a real 3D object, use instead
1 16 0 -4 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 logo5.dat
which then would look in LDView like this
and also would appear in 3D renderings.
Adding logos to all of our parts manually would be not desirable.
You can centrally put it into the global stud primitives (stud.dat, stud2.dat, studel.dat) and - voila - will see them everywhere.
What CAN be corrected is the placement of studs in a part. It could be that it is oriented wrongly so that the logo appears
wrongly oriented. Correcting this for all files would be tedious, but maybe you only have small handful of them which you
are using right now, then a manual correction of stud orientation of course is possible there.
EDIT: I just noticed that studel.dat already contains a comment explaining exactly this.
It additionally informs about the logo orientation on studel.dat, which is WRONG in my above description.
See the comment in studel.dat for further details.
