For the little traffic that may pass through here, I am hosting a small competition! Due to the fact that my ancient computer is unwilling to open photoshop, I am very keen for a new button! I am very dis-satisfied with the current one, and would like a nice, attractive one to replace it. For those who don't know what I am talking about, I mean Waning Freedom's Affiliate button. Currently it is a portion of a horses nose; it's rather bland, with no text on it at all.
The competition has no expiry date at the moment, but when there is one I will state so in this thread.
Unfortunately I don't really know what I can give as a prize, but if you can suggest something, I would be happy to consider!
Thanks, and I hope to see your entry

I actually like this one, and I think there's nothing wrong with it, but if you like, I could make a new button, just tell me what you want on it and what the text should be. I can try to make one, rather, I don't whether or not you'll actually think it's ok, but yeah, just tell me what you want on it. [/size]

Oh that would be great! Ugh, I hate this one lol
Umm... Well it would be cool if you could somehow interpret a horse losing its freedom, however you may chose to do that.. Though the button is quite small, so if not just some type of horse with the main colour as dusty browns (kinda to go with the layout )
Oh, if you would like a challenge, perhaps you could try to add a human in there somehow? If you could put the name of the site somewhere on it, that would be great. Or "Freedom is Waning", you chose (or at least something along those lines)
I tried to give you more of an over-dose of stuff rather than an under-dose, use what you like, ignore the rest
Have fun, and good luck

Ok, I'll get started tomorrow, and I'll post it here when I'm done. I can have a horse's neck with a rope around it and then with the words...
I'll, anyway. I'll make several and you can choose one you like. If there are any particular pictures you want me to use, can you send them to me?
Anyways, we'll see how I go. [/size]

Mine's huge, but it'll screw up if I try to make it smaller. [/size]

Ah crap. Now this is really hard.. no, really, really, REALLY hard!
Mirage yours is wonderful! It's simple and clean but really affective and eye-catching, which is the same with yours Sim!
Umm... Ok, I think I'll make a poll and people can vote ^.^

Just use Simmy's! Seriously! Or we can use both and let the people affiliating choose which one they think will go better with their layout. [/size]

Oh, that's a great idea! Of course we can have more than one mini-banner xD
Mmk.. I'll add this to my to-do list
