Don't use a figure but only \includegraphics:
\begin{titlepage}
\raisebox{\dimexpr\ht\strutbox-\height\relax}{\includegraphics[width=.2\linewidth]{images/logo}}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{.79\linewidth}
Univers\dots
\end{minipage}
\vskip 2\baselineskip
{\Large Titel\par}
\end{titlepage}
Here, if top aligned the text and the image, because using multi line text this is common and mostly asked. If you want the text beside the image be vertical centered to the image, you may use one more minipage and adjustes vertical alignment options:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove option demo if you have images/logo
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{minipage}[c]{.2\linewidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/logo}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[c]{.7\linewidth}
Univers\dots\\
at somewhere\\
under controll of someone
\end{minipage}
\vspace{2\baselineskip}
\begin{center}
\Large Titel
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}
Here I've used a horizontal centered title, to show more alternatives.
Alternative you may simply change vertikal alignment of images changing the first argument of \raisebox and the alignment option of the minipage with the text.
Another solution would be to use package adjustbox to add the vertical alignment option valign to the \includegraphics options. See the excellent manual of package adjustbox for more information. Some lines below you may even find an example of using the package.
One more alternative: If you are using a KOMA-Script class like scrartcl, it's very easy to do it, using \titlehead:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove option demo if you have images/logo
\begin{document}
\titlehead{%
\raisebox{\dimexpr\ht\strutbox-\height\relax}{\includegraphics[width=.2\linewidth]{images/logo}}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{.78\linewidth}\raggedright
Univers\dots\\
at here\\
with there
\end{minipage}
}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\maketitle
\end{document}
And if you don't use a KOMA-Script class but like that title, you may install package titlepage (link destination in German!).
The \raisebox in these examples is used to move the baseline of the graphics from the bottom to almost the top of the graphics. An alternative solution for this would be using package adjustbox and add option valign=t to \includegraphics, if your adjustbox is up to date:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove option demo if you have images/logo
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\titlehead{%
\includegraphics[width=.2\linewidth,valign=t]{images/logo}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{.78\linewidth}\raggedright
Univers\dots\\
at here\\
with there
\end{minipage}
}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\maketitle
\end{document}
If you want the titles of the KOMA-Script classes with, e.g., a standard class and installation of package titlepage is to difficult, you may try package scrextend. This package is part of KOMA-Script, which may be installed via package manager of almost every TeX distribution and often is already installed.
Here's the example above with standard class article but KOMA-Script title:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[extendedfeature=title]{scrextend}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% remove option demo if you have images/logo
\begin{document}
\titlehead{%
\begin{minipage}[c]{.2\linewidth}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/logo}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[c]{.7\linewidth}
Univers\dots\\
at somewhere\\
under controll of someone
\end{minipage}
}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\maketitle
\end{document}
To show one more alternative, I've changed the vertical alignment of image text beside the image:
You could misuse the \publishers element:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,abstracton,titlepage]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\titlehead{University}
\title{Title}
\subject{Subject}
\author{Author}
\publishers{%
\normalfont\normalsize%
\parbox{0.8\linewidth}{%
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
}
}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Since it’s value normally is centered an in \Large you have to put in it a \parbox of the desired width and set the font back to \normalsize (the \normalfont is a little superfluous here but does no harm at all).
If this doesn’t fits your needs on can redefine {abstract} and \maketitle to let the first collect and store it’s contest and the latter print out the content. But this would be an equal effort as making the title page manually. And only gainful if you need this in more than one or two documents …
Update
How to misuse the \date field to make the abstract appear higher on the page?
\date{%
\today% thats the default I guess
\\[2\baselineskip]% Space between date and abstract
\normalfont\normalsize%
\parbox{0.8\linewidth}{%
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
Your abstarct Text. Your abstarct Text.
}
}
There’s only the little problem that the argument of \date can‘t contain paragraphs (i.e. blank lines or \par) so we must use \\[<dim>] to get a new line an insert some space.

The
maketitlecommand creates a title page with a specific layout, I don't think you can combine it with other elements. I don't know how exactly thetitlepicpackage works, but I suppose that it redefines themaketitlecommand. If you don't like how it works, you can always redefine themaketitlecommand yourself to produce any wanted layout for the title page.If you don't want to redefine the
maketitlecommand, you don't have to necessarily use it to create a title page. To create a title page, just useIn that way, you are free to define any layout you want.
Here is the minimum working example:
