I'd rather see individual works and not collage. It makes attribution more simple (nice to give even for public domain) and gives us more future updates ;)

I can help make the image in Photoshop. As professional as we want it :).

I currently do something similar with the Wikimedia Highlights lead image.

Checked on this: 

The cover photo will display at 851px wide by 315 px high; If we want to use smaller it needs to be at least 399px wide and 150px high.

We can use a software called "Lightroom" from Adobe Photoshop to generate professional looking collages for our cover photo: http://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/facebook-cover-photo-collage-lightroom

Question: What aspect ratio is the banner on Facebook? Maybe we could photoshop a montage of these into there?

I’m a big fan of this one, personally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GUGG_Circular_Forms.jpg

Seems to also echo the WMF’s colours a bit, too, which is nice!

best,

Great idea! The matter doesn't seem confidential, so how about CC'ing
