Re: Banner idea

(Totally not feeling strong about this.)

I’m mostly concerned about the positioning in context. There’s a lot 
one could do, for example the W3C logo could be TV-style low-contrast in 
the bottom left and when a resource is announced, the logo would be 
white on blue with the blue banner on the bottom.

In the current video, there is no consistent place for the resource name 
(which I think is OK), but having the logo in several places might be 
distracting.

I personally don’t care for the gradient, but maybe animated it would 
give a little bit of dynamic to the video.

On the other hand we don’t use gradients elsewhere in the videos or 
the site.

Again, hard to say how it would look in context, but then I did not 
really have a problem with the previous display.
