I think our readers and users will as well. For the website (http://www.openoffice.org/) the idea was to put it in the upper left, to replace the current logo for the days leading up to DFD. But that space is currently only 100 pixels high. We might be able to exceed that by a little, but I'm not sure 240 pixels will work. One idea might be to toss out the text and the date and tighten the remaining elements. We can still use the text headline on the website (where it currently says "Call For Designers: Apache OpenOffice 4.0 Brand Refresh Project<https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/call_for_designers_apache_openoffice>") for the actual DFD text and date. Does that make sense? Would that get us closer to 100px? Btw, I'll use the full version, as you have it now on the blog post, where we have more room to play with.
