There were numerous non-Jimmy banners used during the fundraiser because
they were tested and proved to work well. The Jimmy banners were used
extensively too because they still perform very well in the tests,
particularly when improved using the lessons learnt from the other banners
that were tested.

In future, I suggest you pay more attention rather than asking such
ill-informed questions. I wasn't involved in the tests - everything I've
said in this email came from the reports the fundraising team published
before and during the fundraiser. If you had bothered to read them, you
wouldn't have had to ask. They are all on meta - I suggest you go and read
them.
