I don't like the wiki. Sorry! Anyone is welcome to collate them though.

Home goes to subsite home. FAQ is subsite FAQ (i.e., about articles and
all of that junk). And Contact on the Articles section would link
foremost to a form/email that contacts the Content team. That's how I've
seen it being for at least a year.

Already tried it. Looks too common.

Already tried it as harsh block and gradient. Doesn't work, and also has
the problem that you mentioned of adding a very prominent point of
alignment.
 
Maybe the key is adding the search/login to the black bar. I just wanted
that to be quite slim as it will exist on EVERYTHING evolt.org-related.

Will play around further.
