I like the invader-like icon.

I like the invader-like icon.

I'll second that; the invader is definitely cool.

Also helps that it'd match the startup screen I'm planning on using... ;)

What do you guys use to do the mockup? I am not a graphics guy by any stretch, but I would like to give it a go...

OK, let's put an end date on this.   Please submit your final entries by end of day, Sunday July 8.  Pixel, will you be able to 'bling' all the entries after that?

Alrighty, here is my final for the front. I don't have Adobe Illustrator, but I do have AutoCAD and can provide a DWG file if requested (no text, though) (I've heard it can directly import into Illustrator).

Edit: It helps when I actually read the instructions for image dimensions...

We preserve the invader, so that we may destroy him.  ;D

wow, very impressive..... every year it seems like the best designs come through at the very last minute.....

although I would lose the 25 and change it to 1 token or something since Santoro does have customers outside the US borders....

it does need a little cleaning up, but once finished, it could be a very great design....

Please send any final entries to Pixelhugger for blinging.  This will ensure you get apples-to-apples presentation in the upcoming voting threads.

 Thanks Missioncontrol  :)

   I think Ill wait till next time to try.   Mr.c's  coin looks really nice, and
I think Im too late to try to rework my design this late into the
show.   Seems I always catch the design thread too late.

Just to confirm - the design sumission period is formally closed as of last Friday.  I will try to post polls with what I have tonight or tomorrow.  If you haven't sent your design to Pixelhugger for blinging, I will use what you posted as the picture of your design.  (you should send it to him for blinging!)
