Hi Tevin,

Take a Panel and inside Panel place your GridView and Image and Set visible false to Image on page and during exporting set visible true when panel is render then again set visible false to image.

Refer below sample.

HTML

<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnlPrint">
    <img src="http://www.aspsnippets.com/images/Blue/Logo.png" runat="server" visible="false"
        id="imgLogo" /><br />
    <asp:GridView ID="gvCustomers" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerId" HeaderText="CustomerId" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Country" HeaderText="Country" />
        </Columns>
