Another idea is taking advantage of HTML5 and redoing the banner using
canvas.  Here are two nice tutorials talking about Canvas in general and
another focused on the usage of text and fonts:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/canvas_tutorial
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/drawing_text_using_a_canvas

Unfortunately Canvas and HTML5 in general depends a lot on JS and from my
experience, the sliverstripe platform is not good enough supporting it. The
advantage of using Canvas is that the banner will be more scriptable and
easier to enhance with SSI for a more dynamic meter.

The raphael JS libary might be an overkill but still is a smooth resources
to take advantage of.
