Prompt
Create a YouTube channel banner, 2560 x 1440 pixels (16:9).

Channel name: "Simple Money Talks"
Tagline: "Money basics, explained simply"
Theme: calm, trustworthy, modern
Colours: deep navy with warm orange and gold accents

Layout rules:
- Put the channel name and tagline only inside the centre safe area (about the middle 1546 x 423 pixels), because TVs, desktops and phones crop the edges differently.
- The rest of the canvas is background only: soft shapes, texture or a scene that extends to the edges.
- Large, bold, easy-to-read text; spell it exactly as given.

Avoid: faces, real brand logos, small text, important details near the edges.

Customise

For example: Simple Money Talks.

For example: Money basics, explained simply.

For example: calm, trustworthy, modern.

For example: deep navy with warm orange and gold accents.
