Your banner works rather well with the new site logo as well as from a visual standpoint. However, I think that instead of simply having a mostly neutral and random image, the site banner should be able to instantly encapsulate the ''Halo'' series. Yours has a Forerunner structure so that's one such element, but the rest is mostly cliff faces. I also don't like the current banner all that much; having a Halo there is a good choice if we're going for iconic elements (and I think we should) but aside that it has too much clutter. The [[Forum:Final decision on new wiki background|last time we voted]], I and many others proposed [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/a/a0/20110825154206!Headertest.jpg this one] - it certainly fills the criteria for iconic, having some of the most recognizable visual elements of the series. Though it probably wouldn't work as well with the current logo, I'm still in the favor of something similar; that is, scenery that evokes the first game's level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]''. Maybe something from the ''[[Installation 04 (level)|Installation 04]]'' Firefight map, along the lines of [[:File:Inst04 02.jpg|this image]]? I might try and come up with something. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 16:26, 31 October 2012 (EDT) | Your banner works rather well with the new site logo as well as from a visual standpoint.
