Select the Clip Art and using the Format tab, change the position again. This time, choose the "Behind text" option so that your WordArt will be visible in front of your Clip Art. You can still adjust either layer as you see fit.

Tips & Warnings
The layers can get confusing; be sure to look for the 6 small white boxes that surround each layer to ensure you have the correct one.
You can always add more than 2 objects depending on your logo needs. Note that more objects tend to get more confusing, so keep an eye on your layers.
Always save! It is important whenever working with documents to save often and typically after every acceptable change.
