The official Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat countdown banner is not available yet, but a lot of designs have been submitted to the Ubuntu Wiki. All of them look amazing but only a few are already functional. So why not use them on your website or blog already?
Here are the banners which you can already use and their corresponding embedding code:

Joern Konopka's Entry
This banner comes with some awasome HTML5 transitions (so make sure you use a HTML5 capable web browser) as well as the new Ubuntu font.
<div id="ubuntucounter"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://upinthesky.net/ubuntucounter/counter.js"/></div>You can find a lot more Ubuntu Countdown banner designs @ the Ubuntu wiki. Hopefully more of these will become functional soon.
