Hello, After all the experience and A/B-testing, I have confidence in the banners. My personal taste wouldn't matter. Kind regards Ziko
Yes, but brighter doesn't mean better. The A/B testing results apparently show a small difference between bright yellow and something more subtle like http://awesomescreenshot.com/0dcogli4f
As another person said, the thing we are selling to people is an ad-free encyclopedia, yet we are using some of the most hated web banner techniques like pullouts, floaters, and painfully bright colors.
Even the original facts banner in a blue was better - on every screen I've seen, I want to get rid of that banner as fast as possible. Wikipedia content is pretty plain and that banner is bright yellow.
