Bootstrap menu blocks

I always have trouble with what should be the simplest, creating a navigration menu. The blocks are a good start but I typically like to have a larger logo instead of navbar and like to have background images in the header and be able to control the heights during responsive changes. Could there be more sample navigation blocks like these or tutorials? That would be of big help. Creating fancy looking header navigations is very important to make a new website stand out. Any advice?

Thanks,
Rick
