How about you keep the same banner and just replace the text on the right with an image like what SD_Ryoko did two years ago during christmas?
Why is the monitor screen pink?
check! i made sure that the gradient of the gray bar turns exactly to the lower color of the site.- it keeps the original background, and optionally also that gray bar thingy
i copied the header directly from the site.- it is exactly and precisely pixel-perfectly the same size as the original
the jpeg is 80+ but the gif is 30+- it's less than 50K
quite recognizable- the helper is still somewhat recognizable
lol...- it does not want me to have a look at the food from last week
it's here- it's ready at least 24 hours before "the event"
waaaks! likes it...- it has at least some support...
