Your fellow Sciencebloggers are all very disappointed in this choice...
I assume your students will see to making your banner hot pink next April 1!
I think 756 x 100 is the proper size.
The PersonalDNA Test pegged me as an "Encouraging Analyst" who should, "try to embrace the imaginative, creative part of your personality more often." Taking that to heart, I dowloaded a demo of Adobe Illustrator and tried my hand at putting a banner together. It's 100% pink and possum free.
