menu logo block

I am trying to get the logo and menu for my website in a block. That way I can make it disappear on certain pages. I am using Drupal 7 with a theme called "Professional Theme"

Has anyone had any luck with this? Here is what I tried to put in the block with no apparent effect. This is basically the php from the actual page.tpl.php with an added settings reference. I saved it in a block in the php format.


<?php
$settings = theme_get_setting('professional_theme');

<

header id="header" role="banner">
