This has already been hashed out technically, and is doable. The only issue is getting people to standardize on a banner size, which I've tried for the past few months to get people to agree on, but with no luck. In order for this to work we need a benevolent dictator (Zach?, Erik?) to state that all banners (including chapter banners) need to be a certain height during the fundraiser. As it's not a high priority issue currently, I'm not sure if there's any likelihood of that actually happening.
