RealPlayer does not support transparency but you could put a small
rectangular region over the video using a realpix region and put an
image with your icon in that region.  This is relatively simple,
something like:

<smil>
<layout>
   <region id="vid" top="0" left="0" width="240" height="180"
z-index="0"/>
   <region id="logo" top="150" left="5" width="25" height="25"
z-index="1"2/>
</layout>
<body>
   <video region="vid" src="rtsp://server/encoder/live.rm/"/>
   <image region="logo" dur="60s"
src="http://server/logo.gif?url=http://www.yourcopany.com"/>
</body>
</smil>

The image can be referenced either directly (without a RealPix file like
above) or indirectly using a RealPix file.  You can get more details in
chapter 7 of the RealSystem G2 Producer Guide at

cheers!
