Now that the logo question is getting some attention it's time to start discussing the rest of our site's look for its life beyond beta.
Try to keep one idea per answer so we can vote them up and down independently. Multiple answers from the same person if you have multiple ideas is perfectly fine on the Meta site.
How about a background of various kinds of maps of different styles and ages strewn about?
For part of the theme I had the idea of crisscrossing lines formed by a stylized road, train track, jetstream, and bow wave. Perhaps as a border or just here and there were straightish lines are needed?
Background can be some collage contains photos and maps, especially old ones - with many dark sides on them:
I'm not too fussed - I'd like it to be simple, possible a faded map, old school sepia style.
But if it IS a map - there had better be a "Here be dragons!" on it somewhere!

Actually - I have no idea what the copyright is on this image, but I kinda like it ;)
Growing on Hippietrail's idea, what if we just have it as one old looking map. Like the old sea-farers maps. The background could be weathered parchment and the borders dark brown lines. Something like this.
An alternate theme from maps would be something in the style of transport timetables: trains, planes, boats, subways, ...
Related to this question the favorite icon is a topic, too :-)
