I'm going to second what User:Jak himself said earlier. In my opinion, the bar is much too big, and the Wikia logo and "Start a wikia" buttons should be smaller as well. I would also prefer version 3, with the banner disappearing when you scroll away and reappearing when you get back to the top. But I'm fine with the other options.

My biggest thing is that the bar doesn't match the bottom bar, which is currently the MOST distracting thing about it. If there isn't unity of design it seems incredibly "tacked on," and that's what makes it intrusive. Perhaps adding a color feature in Theme Designer would help, but I just wish it matched.
