I agree with some of your points. Specifically with the banner thing... Needs to change 100%. I love sc2, and the banner is fun, but it doesnt reflect the dedication some of us commit. It should be a combo of skill and fun. Like incorp screenies of burrowed bane hits, or mass queens, or anything zerg related really. +1 change banner. I hear Jemsk is a pro at this type of thing!
I dont see a problem with the banner, but meh, whatever floats your boat. But for the love of god if we get a new banner keep it simple and to the point. I hate seeing a bunch of forum places with bad contrasts and complex designs and lines and a billion semi-transparent images laid over one another.
This website is way overdue for a design overhaul. I've had friends see me browsing the website, just to immediately comment on how cartoony it looks. Im sure there might be somewhere on the internet that would want such a design, but a competitive gaming community? It doesn't reflect what the community is about. Almost all the posts in this thread say something along these lines, so why hasn't anything been done yet?
For a pretty lame reason actually. In any case, let's rectify this now. We can't make big design changes quickly but obviously we can replace the banner. So-
First past the post on 12 April 2014 (i.e. one week from now) gets implemented.
