    ok i offer two solutions

    one is a very boring way of editing the header.php to replace the title text with a banner much like what i did here. http://covenant.isgreat.org/ Notice the banner doesnt merge completely, so you would need to spend some time make the banner look good

    The other solution is easier. after you get rid of the title text, instead of putting in your banner you edit theirs.

    Notice http://rolfcopter.com/wp-content/themes/inove/img/header_footer.jpg this is the banner they used

    Just use a photoediting software to edit that and reupload to your server.

    I hope you like these two suggestions if you need more help please ask

    Yeah, find or make a header image you like better and upload it to the same location the current header is in (should be http://www.rolfcopter.com/wp-content/themes/name of your theme/images/). It doesn't have to be the same file name as your current header in case you want to revert back to it someday. Just make sure you insert the different file name correctly in the wordpress stylsheet editor (style.css). It should look something like this:
    /* Header */
    #header {
    width: 907px;
    height: 300px;
    background: url("images/your file name.jpg") no-repeat;
    position: relative;
    }
    Hope this helps.
