In order to move your logo around you'll have to stack your logo on top of a video layer for starters. So you'll have your video layer and then on top of that you'll have your logo layer. Place the timestick on top of the logo and video. Double click the logo and adjust opacity if the logo is covering up the video. You will now have to make keyframes for your logo, in order for it to move across the screen. Go up to the canvas and choose Wire+Frame. This will enable you to move your logo around. Once wireframe is chosen, click the keyframe button that looks like a diamond. Once clicked, move the logo to wherever you want it to move to. That should automatically set a keyframe. After that move the video playhead to a different location, and move the wireframe again to wherever you want it to move to. Etc. Continue to do this to your liking. Hope this helped.

If you are using final cut then wouldn't it be easier to use motion?

No, it'd be more time consuming in Motion. FCP can do this just fine.

Also, use the keyframe buttons in the Motion Tab of the Viewer. Using the keyframe button in the Canvas keyframes every single value in the Motion tab of the Viewer. This puts more work on your computer.
