I haven't used the Jypyter notebook extension, but I would assume it is the 
same process.  You need to include a LaTeX preamble that overwrites various 
macros predefined by Sphinx.  I haven't updated to 1.5 yet (still on 1.4).  

Update your conf.py to specify a preamble:
PREAMBLE = string.Template(open(
                os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'),'preamble.tex')
                ).read())
latex_elements = {
    ...
    'preabmle': PREAMBLE, 
    ...
}

Then the title page (and all the front matter) is made by the \maketitle 
macro, so you will need to redefine it in your preamble, eg:
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{%
  \begin{titlepage}%
    \pagenumbering{roman}
    \thispagestyle{titlepage}
    ....
    
    \newpage  % Make as many pages in the front matter as you want
    % Second page contents go here....
  }%
}


As for the custom logo, you can setup the headers with something like this::
    \fancypagestyle{normal}{
        \fancyhead[L]{\sphinxlogo
                      \vfill}
    }


You set the path to the logo in your conf.py:
latex_logo = 'some_relative_path/image.png'

Its been a long time since I set this up, so I may be missing a few steps.  
You need to become at least a beginner in LaTeX to make this work.  It took 
me quite a few days to make it work right the first time I did that, and 
that was a year and a half ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

Good luck!
