Suggestions for the new header banner/background

I'm bored. Let's do something. lmao

While I was Somewhere Else, I went to make suggestions for designs on their sites, and no impact really occured. However, since I'm now a Codidactian (not a Codidactyl, sorry), I want to start doing the same here. And let's start off with the upcoming site design.

The live mockup currently looks like this. It's a nice one, but I want to spice it up. I posted an answer and @Monica Cellio commented:

Meta is just the example; this would be used on all the communities (with each community being able to customize that orange banner area along with its logo).

So maybe, just maybe, we, as a community, have a chance to choose what we want on our site header's banner/background.

Place your suggestions in the answers! We choose what we want in it by voting, and we can discuss them with some chit-chat in a specific comment thread.

Binary and code plastered a lot

One of the more generic ways of adding design to a code challenge site. The binary digits can be plastered around the header in a way that it looks cryptic. But binary is not enough, we can also have code of certain languages for some diversity.

What's more cool about this idea is code coloring. You know how when you set the language on a code block in Markdown?

```lang

```

It adds color in it, in other words, highlights the code. We can probably also highlight specific code depending on which language is where.

Here's an image I made for demonstration: Code demo

I'd just use random code as filler text instead of binary, it looks wrong
