Just add this code:

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions 
    {
        [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
    }

If your image size is 320x64 try an image with size 320x44.I Hope this helps.

do it in

- (void)viewDidLoad{
  [super viewDidLoad];

  [self.navigationController.navigationBar
        setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo_bar.png"]
        forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

  //...
}

or try this to set it to all navbars in you AppDelegate#didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo_bar.png"]forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

make sure you are follows the rules for Creating Resizable Images

first, change View controller-based status bar appearance in your info.plist to YES. Then use

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle {
     return UIStatusBarStyleDefault;
}
