I'm definately going to enter this... I want to get my forums off of phpBB and onto IPB.

By the way, does anyone know if there is a limit to how many entries you can send in?

Add as many as you want, keep in mind they are looking for professional look not renders and everyday siggy look.

Thanks.

And yeah, abstract brushing and a render would be really bad for this sort of thing. The one I'm working on now is a vector/interface sort of thing. I even made a simple logo.
