I can understand the frustration that members of WMIT are expressing here, but I also see Fundraising's point. I wonder if there are not some other options that could be considered. For example, instead of a banner, perhaps a big bright button on the sidebar that says "Upload images for Wiki Loves Monuments here!" may be technically feasible. It's not quite the equivalent of a banner, but it does address the wayfinding issue at least. (I think that's possibly the biggest downside of not having the WLM banners in rotation.)
I can see this working, to a degree. I think it would be quite valuable serving the role of wayfinding for a returning contributor looking for it - but I'm not sure it could effectively replace the banner as a first port of call & way to attract attention.
Still, nothing ventured!
Some projects have restyled the globe logo for special occasions - that might be another approach to consider.
