SV: Fancy cover page?
To get the header I would probably make the white text, the blue background and
the logo in gimp or similar and make it a picture and then include it as a
ERT-box at the beginning of my document with something like:
\begin{minipage}[t]{1mm}\vspace{-30mm}
\includegraphics[height=1.5cm]{/full/path/logo-jpg}
\end{minipage}
remember to add \usepackage{graphicx}
in preamble if this is your only picture.

Fancy cover page?
Hi, This time I need to do a fancy cover page, like http://curry.virginia.edu/uploads/resourceLibrary/17_Castleman_All_or_Nothing.pdf Can somebody help me do this in LyX? I have the logo as a svg and png. Thanks a lot! Ignacio PS: They are pushing me to use MS Word, which is a problem because I use linux...

That is all, provided the format of the cover page is a single page and matches the page size of the document.

This will at least show what document class you're using and show that you're willing to spend some time and effort to help yourself, it's just (as you put in the comments) you don't have the LaTeX knowledge yet.
