I agree - filling all the empty space with a banner attracts more attention.

I don't think that we need to add the "Home of the LibreOffice 
Productivity Suite" text at the side of the banner. It can cover all the 
area at the right side of the logo - if we really need the "Productivity 
Suite" information in the header, it might find a place inside the banner.

About the height: We'll probably need mockups to compare 60px height to 
45px height (the height of the logo), but I think every smaller banner 
than 60px might have too less space for the content.

We should avoid adding a full width banner over the page header:
Even if this would be the best eye-catcher, it would move the content 
even further down, causing people to scroll for important content.

Already on the main page this would cause me not to be informed about 
the TDF Blog and Twitter at all - why should I scroll?

Best regards
