You do not need to remove the template for that. All you gotta do is follow the instructions in this link and you are good to go.

If you want to remove the SMF logo upper right, do this -

/css/index.css



/* float these items to the right */
#siteslogan
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: right;
line-height: 3em;
}
img#smflogo
{
display: none;
}

Ok, you said the help page linked earlier "does work" but you want a "much more stable banner or logo across the top of the forum".

Exactly what do you mean by that? Are you after something like this?
