The new banner is in place, and it looks splendid. Vacuumslayer was kind enough to do a couple of tweaks for me, and I am well pleased. A donation to Occupy Wall Street has been made in the artist’s name.
Thanks again to those who voted. To the artists responsible for the other finalists (T. Pilsner, Stephanie, Morby, and William), please do e-mail me with your addresses so I can send you a CD.
With my new (and certifiably badass) look, I have a renewed sense of purpose and drive that my bichromatic predecessor simply did not convey.

I really think it embiggens the site.

Is it meant to look like a clenched fist punching a small bird in the face?

Two birds in the image – one silhouetted in the background, and one landing on the fist.

It looks awesome, but it does seem the bird is being swung as a weapon. To Kill (with) a Mockingbird?

The quill is mightier than the sword. A whole bird full of quills… well you do the math!

Is that red the blood of Jesus, the fist, or the bird?

But it does beat posting a Hitchen’s ESSAY on your banner. I like the Hitch, but that quote you had was some long-ass shit, man.

It’s hard to imagine any other alternative, now that you have it in place. Nicely done, vacuumslayer.
