Just a quick opinion. I do consider the new banner a bit too... child-like and family friendly? If any non-furry person were to come across this website and see this banner, probably they'd have a wrong idea about the community (as it is has been represented in the internet) which I cannot declare, but it would be related to encouraging minors to join.

Furthermore, I have not seen anyone noticing this, but all characters are represented as male. I do not see any of them being female, which hints at being a mostly male community.

I won't deeply analyze the new banner, but I strongly think it has got misleading references: intentional or accidental ones, which altogether would not be appropriate.
