How to add both logo and site name to theme

Permalink
I am trying to recreate a menu, as seen here (staging.lifestylerevolutions.tx) in Concrete5. I need to know how to add both a logo and a site name to the theme menu. As of right now, here is what my theme code for the menu looks like:
<nav class="top-bar">
        <ul class="title-area">
          <!-- Title Area -->
          <li class="name">
            <h1><a href="http://www.concrete.lifestylerevolutionstx.com"><img class="logo" src="<?php echo $this->getThemePath()?>/images/logo.gif">Lifestyle<span class="accentText">Revolutions</span></a></h1>
          </li>
          <!-- Remove the class "menu-icon" to get rid of menu icon. Take out "Menu" to just have icon alone -->
          <li class="toggle-topbar menu-icon"><a href="#"><span>Menu</span></a></li>
        </ul>
         <section class="top-bar-section">
             <!-- Left Nav Section -->
             <?php
                $a = new Area('Header Nav');
                $a->setBlockLimit(1);
                $a->display($c);
Viewing 15 lines of 25 lines. View entire code block.


I need to know how to add the extra elements (site logo, site name, and also social icons if possible) to the theme via PHP. Finally, I need to know how to style the site name in the menu so that the words are two different colors.

Any pointers are very much appreciated!

You can add extra elements with this:
<?php
         $a = new GlobalArea('blockX');
         $a->display();
         ?>

Note: GlobalArea means that it will come back on every page

If you want to style it and position it you can use this:
<div id="blockX">
         <?php
         $a = new GlobalArea('blockX');
         $a->display();
         ?>
</div>


Edit: You can also use this for your site name
<?php  
               $block = Block::getByName('My_Site_Name');  
               if( $block && $block->bID ) $block->display();   
               else echo SITE;
               $a = new GlobalArea('Logo');
               $a->display();
            ?>
