Megabyte: Thanks for the comments, but I like I said before, I'm not going to change it, I've worked on 'em enough.  XanderX's are better than mine anyway, so just use his.  I can live without the GMail account anyway.  It was fun to make 'em, though!  Good Photoshop practice for me.  That's all, folks!

Deezer, I'm just going to have to disagree with you there.  I think anyone that "can't notice that it's a T" is either completely blind or just not understanding the banner, and that's pretty sad.  YOU know it's a T.  I know it's a T. EVERYONE HERE knows it's a T.  Where are you coming up with this?  If you didn't realize, part of the "Oh! I see!  The "T" is also the mushroom platform!  That's pretty clever!" is basically the reason I did it that way.  I think I've put enough time and effort into these banners (probably more than I should) so I'm just going to stop now.  Good luck to everyone.

Ok guys, for your pleasure, I brought back the gold lettering and even animated it!  How's that for BLING BLING!?
all that and only 28K!  (that's kilobytes, not karats ;))

I noticed if I changed the letters from "gold" to peach, they blend in with the stalks better.  So, I don't think it will be hard to register that I'm using the first platform as a T.  I'm sticking with this idea, because I think it's a good one, and it's what made me start making these banners!  Anyway, do you think changing the O's to coins and a shroom is a little much?  And I also can't move the URL to the bottom b/c it gets partially covered up and blends in with the stalks.  I could change the color of the URL, but I think white is pretty appropriate.  I gave it a little more room to "breathe" though.

I made a couple more.

Here's one with the tagline:


And without the tagline.

Ok, I took all of your suggestions, Deezer, and here's what I came up with....

Here's how it looks with the white border...or do you guys use light gray?  Anyway, it's a little less colorful than the other one, so you guys decide, I guess...


EDIT: I'm probably getting way too excited about this whole thing but I just added 3 more coins to make it 7, which represents the seven years the site has been running (since 1997).  I don't know if you would want me to put that in the banner somewhere, but it's just an idea I thought could work pretty well.

Here I made one...I could also make the main font like what you have at the top of the board (white border) if you think it's too much like the old one...anyway, any comments or suggestions?


*EDIT*  I was having some problems looking at the colors and I changed them to the exact palette of those from Super Mario World and I think it looks tons better in comparison:
