I honestly didn't think my 8 minutes of work would even qualify as a runner up. I was mostly doing it to kill time before I left for ny-eve party. I'd be curious to know how much time the other guys spent on their's, and where they got the inspiration for the design.
I had seen a picture of a circuit board before I looked into the thread. So I thought it'd be cool if the letters looked like the gold circuitry. Didn't turn out as well as I'd have hoped, but not horrible either. The background was just some difference clouds over a purple to blue gradiant, set to Luminosity.
How about you guys?
High quality models and graphics, low prices. Graphics for the rest of us.
