Comment (by isabela):

 Hi there,

 Thanks for bringing it up, I will reply below - but first, what needs to
 take into consideration here is the lack of capacity we have at the moment
 to have a banner in time for the last two weeks of the campaign. So many
 of the things listed below were decided to be that way because of that.

 If we have more capacity we will apply changes, but we might not have it
 to make it better - and yes, we do know is not great and it should be
 better. But right now we are with time and capacity problem. So please
 keep this in mind if you don't see some of the suggestions applied to it.
 What we want to avoid is to drag this for too long and miss the
 opportunity to have it for more time in the HP.

 it's somewhat understandable but for the home page, it really isn't. It
 takes much longer to load. The content wouldn't be indexed and this design
 totally ignores visually impaired users, which is tbh offensive to them.

 Yes, we decided to go with image because it would be faster and since we
 are not translating this one, we could do img instead of txt. I agree with
 the problems you listed. But again, consideration here is capacity.

 body.

 Yes, we discussed it last night, I gave a go for it because it will be up
 for 2 weeks only and again, we are balancing time and capacity.

 rectangle or square.

 Both follows the same layout we have on TBB and tbh I think is trivial
 here in relationship to the main goal, specially because it will be there
 for 2 weeks only.

 contribution...

 hmmm I think this is a little bit of an exaggeration don't you think?
 Because we are already presenting ourselves like this to the world on our
 blog, tor  browser and tweets - because is the same art we are using on
 those channels as well....
