Sales message and logo won't go away

I have tried desperately not to post this here because I know how frustrating it is to have the same questions asked again and again.

My header image is up at the top of the page but I cannot remove the logo and 'Sales Message'. I have gone to includes/languages/english/custom/header.php
and made the changes according to what I have read

  // added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', '');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', '');
  
  // header Search Button/Box Search Button
  define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
  define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');
  ?>

but both are still coming up. I am using the classic which I have done some basic changes to. Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I should be adjusting.

Also how do I make a space between the Information box and the bottom footer.

My cart is at http://www.digi-scrap.net/catalog/index.php

If you are using the classic template then make the changes in

includes/languages/english/classic/header.php

Thanks I have done that and it worked except now there is a little box in the corner with a red cross.

If you don't want or need a logo, open includes/templates/classic/common/ tpl_header.php find and comment out this line of code by adding “<!--” at the beginning, “-->” at the end and “//” between the words php and echo, as shown below.

<!-- <div id="logo">
<?php // echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?>
</div> -->

Save the file and upload it to your server.

Under includes/templates/classic I don't have a 'common' file, only a 'css' file and an 'image' file.

I also tried to use the Developers Tool kit and run a search for the file
tpl_header.php and it all came up none.

Then make the change in

includes/templates/template_default/common/

Thanks so much for your help Clyde. That's working perfect.

Now the second part of my original question. How do I make a space between the Information box (which is my last box) and the bottom footer. Sorry I only know basic html so am taking this step by step.

You either commented out too much or you forgot to put in the ending comment indicator

<!-- <div id="logo">
