Getting a logo on my custom theme

I'm having trouble getting the logo to show up on my custom theme. The image is in the same folder that the pages are. I don't have it in a images folder, but I will once I get it to work.

I've been doing some research on my problem and there is some PHP code that I'm missing I think.

I think this is the code

<!--LOGO-->
<div id="logo">
<a class="text_logo" href="<?php...?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/images/jazzysteez.jpg" alt="" /></a>
<h1><a class="text_logo" href="<?php...?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<?php if($option["scl_description"] == "1"){ ?><div class="desc"><?php bloginfo('description')?></div><?php } else { ?><?php } ?>
</div>

<img src="/images/jazzysteez.jpg" alt="Jazzy Steez" />

So my image would go before the php?

I think it is best to post the header.php.

This is how my logo code looks. It looks different because they have the option to upload their own logo so it calls in the code:

<div  id='header' class='container wrap_logo'>

            <?php do_action('main_header'); ?>

            <div class='container'>

                <?php 

                echo logo(BASE_URL.'images/logo.png', false, 'strong');

<div id="logo" class="grid_3"><?php do_action('main_header'); ?>

        <div class='container'>

            <?php 

            echo logo(BASE_URL.'images/logo.png', false, 'strong');</div><!--end logo-->

Something like this?

Good job! :)

The code I posted was for my own site. It was coded a little differently.

I used the basic HTML. What's the advantage of the other code? Other than the user can place their own logo?

Either way is good.

I only did it to make a template where they can upload an image and set it as the logo. Please let me know what you think of the colors I used in a navigation bar I am working on:
