It looks good, but it would be much better if you used the right font for the text.

Yeh, when I've got the time I'll put a similar font on. It does have the correct font for the wallpapers though

Gill Sans was my guess, but looking at the R, I'm certainly wrong.

Thanks for that, I have a new wallpaper!
I just have a nitpick: I think it should break the two words into different lines, like the original does. I first thought it was because the word I chose was shorter (I used "WAVE ON", as in Hendrix's If 6 was 9), but it happens with "CARRY ON" too.

Yeh. I thought that too, but it needs some more general tinkering anyway. I'll get round to it at somepoint

on my screen the background color of the crown is a different red than the rest of the page

The lettering is what makes the original poster. The original poster was most probably hand lettered by a talented lettering artist. Arial doesn't come remotely close.
Especially the capital "r". Arial's "R" makes me want to turn away. "I'm a capital p, but have a protuberance!" Its leg is about as graceful as a heavy duty shoring rod that has been heaved to, propping up an obese person. "Spare me that next step!".
So far it's on track for exponential traffic growth, which is exciting. All traffic either comes from facebook sharing or google.
