It is the single largest space that we have to illustrate. And it will show up, briefly, every time a user loads AOO. But it is too brief, I think, to put a long text block. For example, the current text is probably not readable for most users. It is not translated, either. So I'd focus on something graphical, but maybe more than just a larger version of the core logo.
