I need a Logo and background image designed for my soon to be launched online photography magazine. I am thinking of using the logo as an element in a common header graphic that I can use on websites and social media sites.
I might use the header design/image as a whole page background without the logo.
I give you the site information:
I have included a couple of photos from a website that I have found that shows what I have in mind. See attached.
You will notice the “yellow arrow” logo and behind that is a graphic image. Some other sites are below.

Updates
Hello all,
I have been asked by some designers to explain what I want better and as such I have uploaded some images to the brief that I think better shows what I want with the background graphic supporting the logo.
I am using the same example as I gave earlier but you will get a better idea I think with these 4 new files.
The first is the complete background graphic / image. The other three show how it is used in different situations. Base image.jpg is the main image and when you look at the different ways it has been used or cropped, you will notice that the theme is always there. In this case the theme of business and professional development. In my case I am looking for something photography related.
Thank you
