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-li...

I like this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GUGG_Birsk.jpg
Question: What aspect ratio is the banner on Facebook? Maybe we could photoshop a montage of these into there?

Great idea, Michael.
+1 to Joe's suggestion.
This one (also by Delaunay) is cool too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Guggenheim_Museum#/media/File...

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, Joe

Great idea! The matter doesn't seem confidential, so how about CC'ing the social media list?

Hello everyone,
The Guggathon was a great opportunity for new users to come aboard
and learn
about Wikipedia and how Wikipedia interacts with the real world. The Guggenheim, as you may have read, was so great as to release digital
uploads
of 100 works of art into the public domain (Yay!). Victor pointed
out how
great this is.
In case you have not seen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Guggenheim_Museum
So, I want to update our old coverphotos on our Facebook, G+
accounts; we
could even update our Twitter profiles (@wikicommons, @wikipedia,
etc.) with
these works of art.
Just use this thread to shoot your favorites and I'll carry out your
wishes.
Thanks!
