How do I pop this logo on a square cake? I was thinking of cutting some cardboard out, covering it in fondant, and making the black with black fondant. Sound stupid or good?

. . . you wouldn't need the cardboard, just cut it out of fondant . . . or do a CT or FBCT . . . http://www.cakecentral.com/article12-How-To-Create-a-Frozen-Buttercream-Transfer.html
You could try FBCT. That design looks really simple to do. FBCT is so easy.

The above suggestions are good ones. You could also do the logo in run in sugar or make it in royal icing and apply to the cake once they are well dried.
. . . I would probably use gumpaste (or gumpaste/fondat 50/50 - so it would dry quicker) . . . but you may want to look in to CT's . . . and they truly would be edible (I don't think too many people really eat the gumpaste/fondant decorations) . . . CT's on the other hand . . . http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=457753
. . . chocolate transfers are done pretty much the same as FBCT (as linked above) . . . here is another link that speaks to CT's . . . http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/111071540UEhrpE?start=12
I'd use color flow. It dries very hard and has a shine to it (versus royal icing). It will "stand up" in buttercream for quite a long time. My nieces and nephews love eating color flow pieces (candy!), and they are easy to make.
