Contest 237: Build me a banner

As Cl&m&nt has pointed out elsewhere, the title of the forum could really do with a bit more life in it. It hadn't occurred to me before, but it does look rather dull.

So your challenge for this week is to devise a banner for this site. The size should be 750 pixels wide by 150 pixels high, and needs to mention the name of the site! Just so we don't stray into the realms of typographic fantasy, I've attached a png of the title here. Feel free to rearrange the words, but please stick to this font.

Rather than have one overall 'winner' - something I've always tried to steer clear of - I think I'll rotate the best entries, giving a week or so to each one.

Now all I have to do is work out how to stick an image up there...

Created one using all my own imagery, in the form of a photo I took recently.

Lexus that's really clever it suggests that you'll get up to and beyond speed using HTCiP although I would like to see the sign and little bigger on the banner and perhaps you could dull down the specular highlight so that you can brighten the overall sign?

GKB I do like the colour and makes the logo look really dynamic.

I hope I can do justice to the Logo - will work on ideas soon.

You could set it up to have a new image appear with every page load.
