IL APP IN THE SCREEN SHOT,
here is the code snippet,
UILabel *titleView = (UILabel *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
if (!titleView) {
titleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 800, 50)];
titleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
titleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
titleView.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
titleView.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; // Change to desired color
titleView.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
titleView.text = #"IL APP";
titleView.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentCenter;
//self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView;
[self.navigationItem setTitleView:titleView];
[titleView release];
}

Answer 1

#Gama as far as your question is concerned you are asking to put an Image but your real issue being described is that the label is not covering up the title bar. To cover that properly you can use
UILabel *titleView = (UILabel *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
if (!titleView) {
titleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 32)];
titleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
titleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
titleView.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
titleView.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; // Change to desired color
//titleView.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
titleView.text = #"IL APP";
titleView.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentCenter;
[self.navigationItem setTitleView:titleView];
[titleView release];
}
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
For using an image you can use an image view instead of a label to be assigned as the titleView for navigationItem.
Hope it helps

I tried to solved your problem but I get the same result.
But you can hide navigation bar and add the UILabel in to your ViewController
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = FALSE;
[self.view addSubview:titleview];
UIImageView *imageNav = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed: #"navImage.png"]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imagenav];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar sendSubviewToBack:imageNav];
[imageNav release];

Hi i wanted to do the same thing and i saw your posting, i basically used some of the code you provided and modified it a little and got it to work see below:
//declare and initialize your imageView
UIImageView *titleImage = (UIImageView *)self.navigationItem.titleView;
titleImage = [[UIImageView alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.width/2)
- (100/2), 0, 100, self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height)];
//setting the image for UIImageView
titleImage.image = [UIImage imageName:#"photo.jpg"];
//NOTE: you have to do this line at the bottom to add image to the navigation bar Try it it WORKS!
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleImage;
