Looking for a way to fix the orientation of a grouped object.

I want to make a north arrow, where the linework of the arrow, and the letters (N, E, S, and W) are all grouped into a single selectable object that can be rotated to indicate the direction of north in a particular sheet. I've got that part done.

But I also want to have our company logo positioned in the center circle of the north arrow, with its orientation fixed so that it does not rotate when I rotate the arrow around it.

Right now, I have the arrow grouped, and the logo grouped separately, and then the two groups also grouped so that I can move everything together. But to rotate the arrow, I have to ungroup the two, and then re-group once I've got the arrow rotated. I'd prefer a method where everything moves as one, but the logo orientation stays fixed.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks for any help.
