Title: Suggestions for the banner.

I like your banner, but I think it could be bigger and better. I think if you stretched it out and put it under the menu bar (like OMG! Ubuntu) it would be so much more eye-catching, rather than being perceived as an ad on first glace. Just my two cents. Feels free to disagree.

I did a quick cut n paste job on a screenshot with gimp, and agree that would look good

Not sure I follow, OMG's logo is inside their nav bar not under it? Someone do a mockup and I will test.

Inside the nav bar box, under the menu choices... I have a mockup but don't know how to attach it here

Unless you mean CSS mockup, I just did sloppy cut n paste of a screenshot to get the idea. I could take a look at the CSS if you want though.

If you just send me a screenshot so I can see what you mean.

Ok, how do I send it? The hacked screenshot is about 6 x bigger than the limit for uploading a tagline image for a fake article :P
Don't see how to attach images in PM either... I guess you could PM me a suitable email address

I don't do this often enough to want to keep track of yet another account. Luckily I found a site that lets you post without an account though, so here is the link: [hacked up screenshot with banner moved](http://postimg.org/image/qygj28upb/)

imgur does allow unregistered accounts :)

Honestly I don't really like it, I think it looks really odd :(

I assume by "odd" you mean a merged banner/menubar like omgbuntu, as opposed to my horrible hack at simulating the redesigned menubar with the current differently-sized banner. If so, then forget about it; I'm sure your usability tweaks to the javascript are more important to your core audience anyways.

Just prefer it as it is now personally.

No no no, not that banner. The scrolling news banner:

I think that would look good (like OMG ubuntu) to be stretched out under the menu

Ah that, I can test it and see what it looks like. Will give it a go I don't mind that idea.

Don't change your logo. It seems perfectly proportioned. Now you see what I mean? OMGUbuntu has there news scroll-er extended fully under then menu bar.
