Several paths actually. You can ask for help in the Help Wanted ( not for support ) board on this site. You can likely find someone there that can make one for you for nothing or for a few dollars.
I can make you one ( for free ) as long as it is simple. I am not an expert at graphic art but I can whip up a simple header with Gimp if you know the color you want for the header and if you want a name placed in the header. If you have an existing, simple logo design I may be able to move it onto the header for you. If you want to do this, pm me your email.
You can give it a go yourself. You can download for free Gimp ( www dot gimp dot org slash downloads ) and give it a try. If you go this path and need the 1206 x 151 header with a color in it, I will email one to you. I think though, that you will find Gimp fairly intuitive and easy to use so you likely will not need a header from me.
Hope this helps and glad you find the theme pleasing.

Thank you for your response.
I have a logo, I was just unsure how to make it show in the header of your theme. Some themes have the option of loading a logo, using a URL in the admin section. I can't find that option in Balanced. If I understand your post correctly; the logo I choose to use with Balanced would be part of a custom built header with the demensions you indicated?
Is that correct or am I missing something?
Thanks again

Hello Jim,
After you make 1206px by 151px file for your custom logo and give the image file a name, you would then enter that name into the index.css file and also upload the image to your host server.
First upload your custom logo file to the host server and place it in the themes/balanced/images/theme folder.
Then edit the index.css file ( should be in the themes/balanced/css folder ) and look at line 30. It should like below and will be a part of the #header section:
--- Code: ---
background: url(../images/theme/balanced_logo.png) no-repeat;
--- End code ---
Change the balanced_logo.png name to be the name of the file for your custom logo and save the file.
You can edit the index.css file whilst it is on the server or you can edit a copy on your home pc and then upload the file with your ftp program. Refresh your browser to see your new logo on your site. You may need to clear the site cache as well.
Hope this helps. :)
