Summary

Replaced the sparse wordmark + sparkline banner with a much richer marketing hero. The new banner reads as a product launch page: hero text on the left with version tag, value prop subtitle, and stat tags; a realistic dark-themed dashboard mockup on the right with 2x2 metric cards.

Before

  • 4:1 aspect ratio (2064x512), 580 KB
  • Just: orange version badge, OPENGATEWAY wordmark, tiny sparkline, horizontal line
  • Read as a doc hero, not a marketing hero

After

  • 2.36:1 aspect ratio (1584x672), 905 KB
  • Hero text composition: orange tag, massive wordmark, subtitle, three stat tags
  • Realistic dashboard mockup with macOS chrome, 2x2 metric cards (Request Rate 137k req/s with sparkline, P99 Latency 10.0ms, Active Keys 36, Daily Tokens 241,386)
  • Product launch feel, not a doc feel

Generation

export FAL_KEY=...
../scripts/generate_banner.py \
  "Wide cinematic marketing banner for OpenGateway AI gateway, 21:9 aspect ratio. Pure black background. LEFT: stacked text composition. Top: small orange tag reading 'v0.1.0 / MIT / OpenAI-compatible'. Middle: huge bold white sans-serif reading OPENGATEWAY. Below: smaller white reading 'the fastest way to add SSO, audit logs, and guardrails to any AI app'. Below: three small orange tags in a row reading '12k req/s', '0ms overhead', '5+ providers'. RIGHT: a clean dark-themed dashboard mockup with orange accent showing 3-4 metric cards (Request Rate, P99 Latency, Active Keys, Daily Tokens) in a 2x2 grid. Editorial, product launch style. No gradients, no clouds, no particles, no purple. Pure black, white, and orange." \

  --model fal-ai/nano-banana-2 --width 2100 --height 900

fal returned 1584x672 (closest 21:9 it would serve).

Other variations tried but not used

  • Terminal mockup: model hallucinated garbled text in the JSON
  • Architecture diagram: model placed literal "TOP CENTER", "LEFT", "RIGHT" labels in the image
  • Dashboard (this one): clean, no hallucinations

The previous banner was a wordmark + sparkline + line. It read as
too simple for a marketing hero. Replaced with a much richer
composition that borrows from the factory.ai product-launch style.

**New layout, 2.36:1 aspect ratio (1584x672, 905 KB):**

LEFT 60%:
- Orange "v0.1.0 / MIT / OpenAI-compatible" tag (top)
- Massive bold white sans-serif "OPENGATEWAY" wordmark
- Subtitle in white: "the fastest way to add SSO, audit logs, and
  guardrails to any AI app"
- Three orange stat tags in a row: "12k req/s", "0ms overhead",
  "5+ providers"

RIGHT 40%:
- A real-looking dark dashboard mockup with macOS-style window
  chrome showing 2x2 metric cards:
  - Request Rate: 137k req/s with sparkline
  - P99 Latency: 10.0ms
  - Active Keys: 36
  - Daily Tokens: 241,386

The dashboard mockup is the marketing material. The hero text
gives the value prop. The stat tags give the proof. It reads as
a product launch page, not a doc.

Generated with:

    export FAL_KEY=...
    ../scripts/generate_banner.py \
      "Wide cinematic marketing banner for OpenGateway AI gateway, 21:9 aspect ratio. Pure black background. LEFT: stacked text composition.

      --model fal-ai/nano-banana-2 --width 2100 --height 900

fal returned 1584x672 (closest it would serve for 21:9).
