As with everything, it depends, but at least one layer, separate from the
background layers.

For logos and small graphics in a fixed position could go on a single layer.

The advantage of using separate layers is individual elements can be adjusted,
moved, scaled, rotated without disturbing anything else.

Text is best kept as a text layer. If you try and copy-paste from another image
it will end up rasterized. Always best to try and recreate.
