Adding a letterhead to an RMarkdown PDF

Question

I'm trying to replicate a report using RMarkdown/LaTeX. Is it possible to add a letterhead to the top of a page in a similar way to the image I've attached? Hoping to find a solution where I can have a letterhead with a logo in it (and where I can easily customise the text and color of the letterhead too).

TIA

I'm using the standard article document class. Here is my YAML in RMarkdown

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Name"
date: "4/8/2021"
output: pdf_document

The fancyhdr package could be a starting point. Can you make a minimal reproducible example that shows us which documentclass etc. you use? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz
Hi @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz , I've shared my YAML in the post. Just using the standard document class in Rmarkdown — Tanga94

To give you something to start with, you can use fancyhdr and tikz to design your own header:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Name"
date: "4/8/2021"
output: 
  pdf_document:
    keep_tex: true
header-includes:
   - \include{preamble}      
---

test

\newpage

test

and preamble.tex:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\usepackage{tikz}
\fancyhead{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay, outer sep=0pt, inner sep=0pt]
  \fill[blue] (-18,5.5) rectangle ++(\paperwidth,-4cm);
  \node at (-17,3) {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image}};
  \node[green,font=\large\sffamily\bfseries] at (-14,3) {some text};
  \end{tikzpicture}
}
\fancypagestyle{plain}[fancy]{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{4cm}
