I think your proposal is also good, so +1
I think on the timeframe this quick solution could be seen as 
provisional until the branding and website initiative have decided how 
to change the website design.
Btw, Christoph Noack mentioned that the design of the website affects 
many other site. By only changing the logo and the colors as in your 
proposal, would there be any problems for the rest of the websites? What 
would be the scope of implementing your idea?
