April Graphic Contest!! Fifty bucks for the coolest, bestest looking buttons!
Okay, we're LONG over due for a contest y'all so here it is...

PC101 is in need of some cool new buttons! The current ones are these from the original skin which was called "Web Designers..." something... I've forgotten. That's what the WDC thang is all about.

There are a total of 16 buttons lil buttons.

Very important that all the buttons look like they belong with the skin... so color, size... synergy is important! I wouldn't stray too far in size because we don't want to have to change up the skin too much.

Okay, now to the important part, what could you win?! The winner of our lil graphics contest wins $50 USD paid through PayPal!

The contest will run from GO until Midnight (CST) April 30th!!

Any questions?! Ready... set.... GO!!!

Here's something to start things off.

Hey Nick,

Thanks for tossing your hat in the ring!

Yeah, I'm not getting why there's so lil interest. There was a time when people jumped on these things! I've asked around and $50 is a good prize. My guess is buttons are boring. Shrug!

Ohh... neat stuff guys!

Here's what GraphicGuy (Welcome, by the way!) submitted... just so we can see it more easily...



Orange a big part of the skin theme Anyway we could get some orange in the buttons?

Here are some RGB Color Codes (I think that's what they're called) for the different colors on PC101. That way everything will be all color coordinated. lol

Dark gray: 677B8C
Medium gray: C4CED6
Light gray E2E7EB
Orange is EE8600
Blue Gray: 98B5E2
Light Blue Gray: C1D2EE

Don't know if this helps or not!

Welcome ohgarboy,

Wow, you're fast! Great submission too.

Just so y'all know.. you can submit as many variations as you want! You don't have to submit just one style.
