Logo for my personal blog

This is what a business in Taiwan, Province of China was looking for in their web design

I am using the Balance theme on wordpress using the Genesis framework. The website is:

www.cindywords.com

I would like a custom designed logo to go on top of my blog. I'm not sure if it's do-able with restrictions to the theme, but I'd really like to make it happen. If I can somehow incorporate either my signature picture (attached) or a graphic logo with my name Cindy Brandt, or CB, or a banner that distinguishes my website as professional and eye catching, that would be awesome.

Please see http://goinswriter.com for an example of a logo (his g with a circle around it).

Another idea would be like this website: http://sarahbessey.com where the blogger has her name in an interesting font.

I would also need help installing the design into my existing theme. Read more
