latex - place picture at top left of coverpage

Question

I need to have the coverpage of my phd dissertion match a stupid word template from my university. While the whole layout is pretty set i'm unable to place to logo/picture in the top left of the coverpage (only) as I am required to (!). Right now its sitting in the middle of the coverpage. I'm using the title function in a report class-document. This is really the first document I've made i Latex so my Latex-skills aren't quite top level yet :)

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

While I agree with Werner's comment that the cited question provides various excellent means to do that, here I give an alternative answer, in which the picture is placed relative to the words "Fancy Title". The \raisebox dimension (2in) and the \hspace dimension (2.2in) may be adjusted to suit. The 2in is the vertical gap between the top of "Fancy Title" and the bottom of the picture, while 2.2in is the horizontal distance between the right edge of the image and the right edge of the words "Fancy title"
