Actually I just did a check with David and I think the better 'big' banner will be a 24" high version that has the Wikipedia puzzle globe on one side and the 'WikipediA' stylized wordmark adjacent. I think that will be about 6 ft in length total, which would make it perfect to hang up above the booth.
If anyone has an alternate suggestion, let me know. I can have a few others of the ones I listed made too, including one of the '10 years of...' banners so people can come up and sign up. I bet they could fill one of those up in a day, and we could put it in the office here for safe keeping and presentation later.
