This is the best so far, but it still needs to be slimmer. Once I add a logo, the login box will look too big.
If we can get an actual size screenshot we can get more accurate results. The screenshot looks to be resized and gives the login box a larger feelings because everything else is much smaller. With a screenshot that's to size, the login box itself will look a bit smaller. Hope that makes sense. I put in the text: "This is 12 point font" (Right next to the heading "Latest News") to give you an idea of what 12 point font SHOULD look like.
and this is the screen shot of my entry.. http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loginboxccopyne3.jpg
should be slim like this but put more emphasis on the username and password text box. This contest still has no clear winner, keep the designs coming!
