Survey: What kind of site banner do we want?

I agree that we should focus on the new site, Tea. I like both the Destructions and the Elementals feel, but I do have a slight worry that the elementals will paint our site as more of a fantasy site at first glance, not that that's a problem for current players, but new ones. A banner is kind of our focus point on the site, so I feel like it might be a little saddening for new players if they saw things like the astral designs or brighter elementals because they can't obtain that right away. On the other hand, it can show possibilities of what you can do using the point system, which may be a plus.
I feel like violent banners and dark themes are kind of cool, but can set an overall dark mood for the site. I used to use multiple themes on old sites because darker themes made it a little hard to play happier pups or threads. The same may be reversed, though, if the banner is really bright. That said, I like kind of the neutral beauty of the current banner along with the neutral, but not boring, color scheme.
Is it possible to have a changing banner? Depending on how many monies the site has, commission some of the major families or major alphas or major moments and have like a slide show effect? Maybe that's too complicated, but I kind of like the idea of like having a picture of Bass on a fitting background (I imagine warm colors) with the text "Abaven" on it, or Valentine on a darker theme with the text "Imperium" in the corresponding pack colors? Or like for events have text like "pack name vs pack name" and maybe like "Fall year 5" or something that the event took place. That way, you could show a few examples of the site like the elementals, but also like stronger normalcies in the game?
