Some of the responses so far have been quite nice.
Is there a "make cool button" filter in photoshop that I missed or are we witnessing real designers?
DICK TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
Some really nice entiries up. I kinda of wish I hadn't put mine up now. But what the hell, I gave it a shot. And considering it was a first for me, don't think I done too bad, not the quailty of the others, but what the hell?
They said they wanted something straight forward and simple, and with different colors. That's what they got from me. But the themes that tie the others together are really good.
i may have to bring back my club flyer days and come out of retirement.....theres some real competition here...though everything is starting to look the same.
I'll give it a shot if i can come up with something original.
I'm not saying it looks bad but it's very unoriginal. I'm sure you can do better than this.
what you said exactly is "this is a blatant rip off"! I'm a little curious how you expect to play this off with a line like, "I'm not saying it looks bad but it's very unoriginal" .... unless of course you don't really know what the words blatant rip off mean.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Ripoff/unoriginal/uncreative/copied what other words do you want me to use?

Are you suggesting that ripoff/copied and uncreative/unoriginal mean the same thing?

Are you suggesting that you are a moron, and fail to get the point? I think so.
It took you 3 whole days to come up with that response? What exactly was your point? He either ripped off a design or he was uncreative. Just so you know, the word ripped off is normally used in the context where you are insinuating that someone stole a design, ideas etc.
Do have a bash at explaining your "point" though, I am pretty intrigued.

I obviously care less about your opinion, than you do about mine. I don't feel I owe you an explaination for my opinion about his design as it wasn't directed towards you.
If you took offense in anything I said about his design or about you, then maybe you should go out and enjoy the sun for a bit. Or cut down on caffeine. Because you're getting worked up about something that is none of your concern.
Hey RazorSharpe and ssp please can you stop with that war, I thanks you guys for the good or bad comments, but I posted before, This is suposed to be something serious and not a kids game.
I'm my opinion the buttons are not copied. Btw, please stop this.
We need some buttons made and we're going to let u guys go at it
There will be only one winner chosen for this contest. The prize is $500.
You must design 6 buttons. They all need to have the same feel/theme/look to them.
We need "Powered by XXXXXX" buttons for NATS, CARMA, and SPARTA.
We need one for each at 120x60 and one for each at 88x31 for a total of 6 buttons. Again, all buttons should have the same concept/look/feel/general design to them. They should differ in base color, logo and text only. All 6 need to work and go together.
The buttons should say nothing more than "Powered by XXXXXX" with XXXXXX being the product name of course. The logo of the product should be included tho not the focus. No URL or other text can be on the buttons.
They should be simple, clean, and professional, almost mainstream looking. They should be static not animated and as clear as possible (the carma and sparta logos should create a big of a challenge).
Any questions can be posted here.
This contest will run for 2 weeks ending on The 29th of November at midnight EST. We will choose only one winning set of 6 matching buttons from one designer. We will NOT use the non-winning entries.
Have fun and good luck! (I'll be bumping this periodically of course )
I have images to post but GFY isnt taking the [...IMG...] tag for some reason
