I'm also still struggling to understand why we need a huge promotional image on our own wiki's main page. Once the users are there, they're there and it's better to let us enchant them in our own ways. It also means that we won't have to find a promotional image that is a) very very high quality (due to the size of the image as displayed on the main page), b) that can capture the essence of the wiki in one image for promotional purposes in off-wiki areas, and c) doesn't look like crap on the main page (when you consider colour, style, and content). If you must have this image thing on the main page, then can it please be separated from the regular promotional content?  I just can't see how it's an asset and seems to me to be more of a headache than necessary for wiki admins who just want to get their wiki's name out there.
