John,
Something like the attached?
Yes exactly!
I did this in OO.o, trimmed the page size as small as possible, then saved
it as a .pdf file.
Shrug. I had hoped it would be easy in LyX (because that's what I tell
everyone!)
It is easy enough. :-)
Insert two minipages, reduce the size from 100% of line to something smaller
so they fit beside each other on the same line. Make sure they both use
"top" alignment (default).
In the first minipage, insert your logo graphichs.
In the second minipage, write your name. Set the font to Huge using
the appropriate menu.
Fine-tune the width of the minipage containing the logo, so you get a
useful distance between the logo and the name. They should already
line up perfectly thanks to "top" alignment of the minipages and
their contents.
That's it! Minipages is the answer, when you need to position blocks
of text/pictures relative to each other. Sometimes you may want lots of
space between such minipages, in such cases insert hfill between them.
