The answer is always AviSynth . Heres a small script i used to display Slideshows in the lower right corner of PAL DV footage, i rewrote it a little to better match your scenario:

LogoClip = ImageSource("D:\dv\Tape9 W1\0%d.bmp", 1, 6, 5)
LogoClip = BicubicResize(LogoClip,60,60,0,0.5).ConvertToYUY2( )
LogoClip = Loop(LogoClip, 400)
LogoClip = ChangeFPS(LogoClip, 25)
MainClip = aviSource("D:\dv\Tape9 W1\uvs050407-002-1.avi",True).ConvertToYUY2()
Return Layer(MainClip, LogoClip, x=600, y=480)

First step is to open the GIF in ACDSee; click on Tools -> Format Convert, click the button Multipage Options, then save it as individual Bitmaps. In my script the ImageSource function will read bitmaps 01.bmp through 06.bmp and play them at 5 FPS (change to a number that matches the speed of your animated GIF most closely), the framerate is later changed to 25 FPS for PAL in the third line to match the framerate of the main video, you would want to change this if your video is NTSC.
The Loop function (2nd line) repeats the clip 400 times, you will need to set another value here so it will match the length of your main video.
x and y in the last line is the position where you want to place the Logo on the main video meassured from Left-Top.

Edit: Fixed some linebreaks in the script.
