We need new icons! Show your skills!

Our current icons next to the forum sections are dull and we need some better ones. Since there are lots of you out there with artistic and graphic skills, we want your submissions for our new icons!

We're currently looking for 3 icons: one for a section with new posts in it, one for a section without new posts in it, and one for a linked section. Let's get creative!

As a bonus, anyone who designs an icon that gets picked will get 5000 credits!

Well, it's certainly attention-getting! I think we're looking for something just a bit more subtle.

My poor attempts:

LOL

Would need to be resized, obviously, to whatever you want, and that will get rid of the rough look...

I understand the section with new posts , section with no new posts , and based on those urls I guessed the url for the linked section , but I don't see any linked sections. What is a linked section?

Yeah, those are the three we need to replace. A linked section doesn't really mean much if you just click on it. It has to do with how the sections are laid out in vBulletin. For example, you might have a program on your computer in C:/Program Files/My Program but since you've got a shortcut to it on your desktop, you can just click on the shortcut to run the program. Linked forums work the same way.

ok, I was just wondering if there was an example of a linked section. If there aren't any right now, that's fine.

Do you want the icons to match the color scheme of the
active , stats , and birthday icons on the forum index?

Nobody else seems interested, may be if I post a bad set someone will be motivated to make a serious entry I kept these at the same size as the ones already there, 30x30

- new posts
- no new posts
- linked section

and quoted to give them the gray background

whoa, I didn't even see these before! Those look good. I'll see if Shaun likes them too.

If anybody else has something, feel free to post them as well!
