Hello and welcome @Aravind_Swamy_Vinjam 🙂

I think that particular theme component is a special Meta one, though the [Versatile Banner](https://meta.discourse.org/t/versatile-banner/109133) is really good if you’re looking for something more swish than the standard Pin Topic/Maker Banner Topic option in the topic wrench. 👍

You are not the first one asking that

> wave There different ways of going about this. Make a Banner topic Go to topic admin wrench and select pushpin Pin Topic and select ‘make banner Topic’ Use the versatile banner theme component. I believe this is what the Meta banner is is based upon. There is a version of this banner that is configurable [Welcome Link Banner](https://meta.discourse.org/t/welcome-link-banner/218743) See this topic if you need more help on installing theme components [Install a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682) Hope this helps smiley
