More behind-the-scenes-of-this-new-design info: The dinosaur actually consists of two image files: a 2-bit transparant gif overlayed on a subtle orange gradient. Splitting it up like this reduced the total download size by half.
I originally had the gradient dynamically sliding up and down over time (causing the dinosaur to subtly fade in and out of view), but found it to be rather annoying or at the very least distracting...

- Working on it... I'll probably make it an easter egg - activated by clicking on the creatures head, for example.
