As others have said, it's just excessively big, and obstructive due to it having a fixed colour (instead of basing it off Wikia Central and making it white, it should just use whatever colour a wiki is using). Why is the "Start a wikia" box so big? It's not something we'd be pressing daily. This new layout is a fine example of putting graphics over usability first, much like every other site on the Internet does. There's so much blank space, it's pointless to have it so big.

Is Wikia going down the YouTube route? It seems they're removing all forms of customisation from wikis. Now we can no longer have a custom header or notification icon. How will we identify a wiki if they'll all look the same? I hope you add some custom CSS that will give us back the old layout. It's not a matter of me not being able to accept change, it's just an unnecessary change.
