Can you change the banner (ASAP -- i.e., in the next few days) as follows:
1. Put this image in the upper left instead of the image you have:
http://sagemath.org/ss/cube5.png
Note that you should use a command more like this to generate your
own copy of the cube to some high resolution:
sage: graphs.CubeGraph(5).show3d(iterations=300, xres=600, yres=600)
with maybe more iterations.
Actually I can't think of anything else to change. Fortunately you'll
be on hand
to explain what the heck the poster means :-).
My plan is to have a big printout of your poster behind the booth. Then have
lots of color fliers that look something like this.

(click on flier.png or flier.pdf)
Thoughts about the flier? I changed one of the logos based on Martin
Albrecht's poster. Otherwise, this is basically a typeset version of the
Sage homepage.
We'll also have free DVD's to hand out and printouts of the Sage tutorial.
If all goes as planned the DVD's will even be professionally labeled with
the Sage logo.
My plan is to not write "Free" anywhere on the poster or the handout, but
tell people Sage is free when they ask how much Sage costs. (The word
"free" can be confusing and misleading.)
I also plan to have a shiny new imac setup with Sage running on it, and
a screen saver that cycles through screenshots of Sage. We'll also have
3d glasses, so people can play around with 3d stereoscopic plots via Jmol.
