I see the max score for a logo on the top row as 45 points.
AUTONOMOUS SCORE: 3 UBERTUBES on the top row x 6 points each = 18 points
PEG SCORE: 3 LOGO PIECES over UBERTUBES on the top row x 6 points each = 18 points
LOGO BONUS: 9 points for a LOGO on the top row
18 + 18 + 9 = 45
Here's some evidence for my interpretation of the LOGO BONUS. These are the only 3 instances of the phrase "LOGO BONUS" in the Manual. Emphasis mine.

The words "added," "sum," and "additional" tell me that we should be adding a set bonus (9, 6, or 3) whenever there is a LOGO, not just doubling the values of those PEG SCORES.
