:On second thought, don't think I need to come up with anything - I've found a favorite among the ones from last time: [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/a/a0/20110716172307!Headertest.jpg this one]. It has a Halo to make it sufficiently relevant to the site's focus, a neutral enough coloration so it doesn't stick out too much, and it works very well with the Chief logo. Don't think we need anything more than that. --[[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> 16:32, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

::The first one you listed with the Halo ring and the facility on Forge World looks neat, but the emphasis on the blue is a bit displeasing. The second one looks pretty boring and makes us look like an environmental conservation wiki. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

:::I agree that the first Forge World one is too blue and besides, it doesn't blend well with the lighting of the site logo. This is why I prefer the second one I mentioned - it's still blue-tinted, but not too blue and the Chief blends to it very naturally. As for it being boring, don't think it's any more boring than a random, nondescript landscape. Besides, I don't think the point of the banner is to draw attention or be particularly exciting; all it really needs, to me, is an immediately recognizable ''Halo'' universe element (what's better than a Halo ring?) and the way the scenery echoes ''Combat Evolved'''s unforgettable first journey on a Halo is a bonus. Also, a nature conservation wiki with a Halo ring in the background would be quite a thing to see.  --[[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> 04:30, 1 November 2012 (EDT)
