Related: There are some issues with the design of these banners, especially the floaty thing.Why are you using a <table> element? It's really wrong for this kind of thing. Also, please commit to just one color for the floater - the highlighting thing doesn't make sense in that space. (See a possible solution, if the icon was black with a yellow i, at http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d622k4fb2). Furthermore, that shadow is hideous - it should be blurred out some more or just eliminated - it adds little (without shadow: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0e622k4k3c, blurred shadow: http://awesomescreenshot.com/06d22k4s6f). This a) looks better and b) would probably increase conversions since it's all around brighter (but in a better-looking way). At the top, it's best looking to eliminate the shadow on the right side which looks unbalanced and increase the blur (like box-shadow: 0px 5px 10px #aaa;). See http://awesomescreenshot.com/01022k566a. I highly suggest you adopt these changes. Thanks,User:Mono

Love it! Looks like there's more than one banner too: http://imgs.xkcd.com/store_news/store_gd_g1_QG5Z.png

Largely unrelated: it looks like xkcd (http://xkcd.com) has spoofed the "DEAR WIKIPEDIA READERS" donation banner as part of its store campaign: http://imgs.xkcd.com/store_news/store_gd_d5_FyaR.png. :-)
