shortbus, Interesting, I don't really understand the icon however and it doesn't fit well in the corner it looks like it is jammed in there. I wouldnt mind seeing that with a different icon.
Yes they are very plain not really what I am looking for. If I wanted that I would have done it myself as even I could produce those in Photoshop. I am looking for something more professionally done.
Ok... Since I have not seen really what I am looking for I decided to give some more details. I would like someone to incorporate a graphic of this image which will be my icon. Now the graphic can either be before the words or after the words. If it is before you probably should flip the image. I think that would look real good as an icon accompanied with some text. The key here is that I don't want the exact picture I would like something similar or the picture made into a graphic. Hopefully someone can do this as I would like to finish my site. Thanks for all entries to this point and sorry for not providing these details sooner.
man, really having a lot of luck with this contest, both of my icons so far have come out exactly how I wanted them too.. here is my attempt at the hand with money idea: and a screenshot with some possible font layouts:
Will I really think this is a good start I dunno if I am exactly sold on the icon yet but the text is my favourite so far. Icon doesn't seem to fit in exactly. Maybe try revising it or have the text on top of the fan of money minus the hand? I dunno but I really like the text with the black background.
