You can use a HTML_Mod just go to the Joomla Site and you will find it there.

Create a new HTML module and choose a position in the template for it, or use an existing module. Then, create at table inside the module, and assign one column for the logo, one for the text, one for the link etc.
Actually that's pretty easy basic Joomla stuff. No knowledge of HTML involved at all - if there was I'd be in deep shit

Use the format function in the Joomla table editor. Depending on which text editor you use, you can even prepare that table in Excel, edit its design (frames, underlining etc.) and then copy/paste it into the module's window.
Btw, try using the JCK editor module instead of the one that comes with Joomla. It has several advantages, like internal links, direct picture upload and formatting functions etc.
