Thanks for all your input folks. I think I have found a way to do it really
dynamically: I found the Perl script examples in the 'examples' directory,
and although I am not a programmer the scripts looked clearifying enough.
What I did: I used the basic-logo script, opened an existing image (my
background image) instead of creating a new one and added my text. And that
seems to work well. I haven't figured out how to automate things yet, but I
hope that that is a matter of time.
Thanks again for all your suggestions!
