Custom HTML with logo image, editing header

I am using a child version of the Virtue Premium Theme and have my header style set to “Standard” in Theme Options–>Main Settings –>Header Style.

For the site’s logo I am using a large image spanning most of the width of the page.

I need to position some DIVs on top of this image. I have done this in the past through using a “hook” in a previous web site that used a different theme. I do not see an option to add HTML to the header through a “hook” here in Virtue Premium.

If I understand correctly, I can create a copy of the header.php file, edit it and add it to my child theme.

However, currently the header.php residing in my “virtue premium” folder only contains the following:

<?php
/* empty */

In other support discussions in this forum, I have seen people reference lines with high numbers (say, 17, or 60, or whatever)… but my header.php file from the theme really doesn’t contain anything.

Could you please point me in the right direction as to where I can find the right file to modify? Again, to clarify, all I need to do is add some DIVs that will overlay my logo image, which I will then style using CSS in my child theme’s style.css file.

Thank you!
