Are you using MUI pages ?


In that case:

!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "img.bmp"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP "img.bmp"

&

!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT "text"
Text to display on the header of the page.

!define MUI_PAGE_HEADER_SUBTEXT "text"
Subtext to display on the header of the page.


More info => helper\Appendix A: Modern User Interface

Read the appendix....

MUI_HEADERIMAGE
Display an image on the header of the page.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP bmp_file
Bitmap image to display on the header of installers pages (recommended size: 150x57 pixels).
Default: ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Header\nsis.bmp

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_NOSTRETCH
Do not stretch the installer header bitmap to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_RTL bmp_file
Bitmap image to display on the header of installers pages when using a RTL language (recommended size: 150x57 pixels).
Default: Non-RTL bitmap

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP_RTL_NOSTRETCH
Do not stretch the installer header bitmap when using a RTL language to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP bmp_file
Bitmap image to display on the header of uninstaller pages (recommended size: 150x57 pixels).
Default: Installer header bitmap

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_NOSTRETCH
Do not stretch the uninstaller header bitmap to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_RTL bmp_file
Bitmap image to display on the header of uninstallers pages when using a RTL language (recommended size: 150x57 pixels).
Default: Installer RTL header bitmap

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP_RTL_NOSTRETCH
Do not stretch the uninstaller header bitmap when using a RTL language to fit the size of the field. Use this option only if you have an image that does not use the whole space. If you have a full size bitmap that fits exactly, you should not use this option because the size of the field will be different if the user has a custom DPI setting.

MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT
Display the header image on the right side instead of the left side (when using a RTL language it will be displayed on the left side instead of the right side).

MUI_BGCOLOR (color: RRGGBBR hexadecimal)
Background color for the header, the Welcome page and the Finish page.
Default: FFFFFF

MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT
Set a transparent background for the header's label controls. Useful for custom user interfaces that set a bigger header image.

custom MUI pages are deprecated as noticed in the helper. I use nsDialogs instead, and it is more complicated (the macros are very closed to the native Windows API), so I can't give you any advice.

I tried to do what is written in the doc:

General page settings
MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT text
Text to display on the header of the page.

MUI_PAGE_HEADER_SUBTEXT text
Subtext to display on the header of the page.

so:

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT "My TITLE 1"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT "My TITLE 2"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE
