| I've another minor change by adding a slogan on the earth;

In Latin the slogan reads: "Unity from enmity". I think it represents this forum well. _________________

| Renegade Kautsky's is really good but I made my own.

I know it still uses the UN globe but Iceland is no longer visible so it should be ok. I'll probably make a better one that is more Marxist later. _________________

| I'm just playin' around mattabesta,
I tried the gold lettering, and it didn't work as well as you'd think. 
I chose do the black background with symbols because I wanted the banner to represent all the viewpoints on this site. I think that the problem with current symbol is that is seems to be blatantly socialist in color schemes. Though I myself, am a socialist, I still think we need a banner that represents the full political spectrum of this forum. As far as Oligarch's banner is concerned I think it even more biased than our current one, because the traditional UN symbol is now surrounded by the CPUSA symbol. _________________

The UN symbol itself has also been modified to exclude Iceland.
This version is even better as it includes Lenin's hanging order.

|  I'm working on a new banner and even though its made from the state emblem of the Soviet Union I still want it to neutral. Does anyone have any idea as to what I should do with the hammer and sickle? _________________

Dude,
That is the symbol of the soviet union with a white background
If that's neutral than I'm a talking ferret.  _________________

Once I've found a way around the hammer and sickle it will actually be very neutral, besides this forum takes its name from the World Socialist Republic and therefore its only natural that the banner have socialist overtones. _________________

| Hmm.. Better, but you should get rid of the hammer and sickle and make part of the banner blue if you can. It would also be cool if you could incorporate the slogan "Unitas ex Inimicitiae" (Unity from Enmity).
Just some suggestions...  _________________
