TEAM A!

There seems to be an unintentional double-post.

That aside, I'll be completely honest. I cannot read the glowing pink text over the harsh green white-and-black contrast and the background looks grainy with the random green pixels, so it actually looks kind of bright and ugly. I think it can be refined a lot better. You could probably make the green background generally darker and have a lot less color variance; it'll make the text and the animated sprites stand out more. A shot of a pile of leaves will do nicely, I think.

I'm not really an art person but that's my take.

There's been quite the lag on the site lately that's most likely why. I'm not the only person to have accidentally double posted today.

I wasn't aiming for legible, I was going for stylistic. I can read it just fine but to be fair I stared at it for about four hours so I can probably notice the details you can't because I was working on it for so long. I tried other patterns first, including nature shots such as flowers, leaves, etc. and none of them fit very well with the style of the banner. So I opted for some patterns instead.

If you really hate it that much I'll try to change up the patterns but be aware that every change warrants about 30 minutes of work on my end due to the inclusion of animations. They can be very picky when it comes to those bottom layers. I'm not Neo, I'm not an expert. I'm very limited in my capabilities so just bear with me and be a bit nicer next time. It's not exactly uplifting on my end when one of my teammates refers to something I spent most of my night on ugly. Really makes me not want to do anything for you if you don't even care to put some sort of compliment in. Your phrasing makes it sound like you don't appreciate the time and effort I went through to make this.

So here how's this. Since I like mine, and there's ten of us in total, I'll just make nine more versions of the banner and upload them as I go. Depending on how fickle the layers decide to be, if I get them done quickly enough that I'll have them done before you see this post. I'll upload the finished ones as I go.

Spoiler:

Still not satisfied? That's fine, I guess. Just let me know what you'd rather have and I'll do my best when it's not nearly 1 AM.
