I'd love to see some ideas or suggestions for a better banner image for this community, something that shows a bit more spirit and interest. This current image is one that I found on Unsplash.

If anyone is interested in creating a new banner image for the community, please submit it in the comments of this post!

Here are three I tried putting together, I hope the aspect ratio/size is okay.

EDIT: I have no idea why it's prompting an 18+ warning lmao... I think imgur is a little too gung-ho on their anti pornography filter lately

Are there any guidelines for the dimensions of the banner?

There isn't much official, but I just did some testing and had good results with 970x240. Less than 1MB size and smaller is better.

Here's how I found it:

Although on mobile is way more boxy 🥶

Right, but you need the biggest possible image and then the ui will downscale it as needed.
