What should a community ad for gardening.stackexchange look like?

Question

Fully launched StackExchange sites can show community ads for anything their community chooses. There are premade templates for ads for Area51 proposals:

area51 ad http://area51.stackexchange.com/ads/proposal/1369.png

but they're perhaps not the best for betas, since they still say "proposal" and are pretty generic. Is the premade one good enough? Or does anyone have something they'd like to offer up as an ad for any sites interested in advertising for gardening?

For example, text on a simple image can look good. Here's one from space:

Here are the image requirements:

• The image that you create must be 220 x 250 pixels (except 440x500 seems to work too and looks better on high-resolution monitors)
• Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)
• Must be GIF or PNG
• No animated GIFs
• Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

Answer 1

Would something like this work?

Here is the smaller size at 300 x 250:

I had to go this route because my original was smaller than the 600 size ... when I tried to blow it up, the lettering became pixelated.

The original picture would not format as we'd want and still allow it to work right. Here is another attempt using a different picture ... let me know if this works, though I don't think it's as stark as the other picture.

And yes, I think orchids are awesome, lol.

Try #5 ... Here is the original chopped down to the correct size. Let me know if it works or which you like better. I actually like how this one came out.
