Batman, use "on" in all those cases.

And omit 'side', unless the logo is on the left side or the right side.

We don't say 'front side' or 'back side', which sounds like 'backside' (one word), meaning 'buttocks'.

You could also say on the side without specifying which side, but front side doesn't work, as Rover says.

For me, the side​ of a T-shirt is neither the front nor the back. The sides are where the seams are.
