Countdown banners for Ubuntu 11.04

Post your ideas for a countdown banner here. Guidelines are:

width: 180px
height: 150px
optimized png, gif or jpg, or
iframe containing interactive content (using static html, css, js and images - no PHP)
no flash - must work perfectly with only free software

A successful implementation will countdown the days from the Beta to final release. This means 28 images numbered 28 to 1 plus one for day 0 that says "coming soon" and one more that says "it's here" (30 images total).

For reference see the JauntyCountdownBanners

Post your drafts and mock-ups here along with any extra information you feel is useful then send a message to the web presence team mailing list so we can discuss it.

A few of the best will be selected to be syndicated from www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown.

Extra ideas

One time we featured a Facebook block. If you have ideas for seeing this enhanced, please discuss them on the mailing list.

We've also produced animated iframe countdowns in the past - I think this would be awesome to do again.

And if you want, we can get really innovative - how about an Android widget? What other cool stuff can we do?
