Have you read

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/custom-headers-footers-and-titles#custom-layout-for-headers-and-footers

?

I took an example from there and modified it a bit:

\version "2.15.28"

\book {
  \paper {
    print-page-number = ##t
    print-first-page-number = ##t
    oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
      \line {
        \on-the-fly #first-page
        \epsfile #X #10 #"testlogo.eps"
      }
    }
    evenHeaderMarkup = \oddHeaderMarkup
  }
  \score {
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 1000 c''4 }
  }
}

A quick search in the user archives showed at least

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-08/msg00403.html

which could be adapted to your needs.
