    was wondering if someone could help out and make a button design for PAX.

    this link has some info on what it is about
    http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=117417

    the template for the button is here
    http://www.purebuttons.com/templates.php

    ive done this in the past, but this year as im going with XoO, i wanted a XoO button design and im really bad with photoshop.

    Some sort of Xen of Onslaught design what be grand and my name on the bottom somewhere, because of the button rules need a name on it.
    would be a great if it had the xoohq.com somewhere also.
    button size 1.5
    it would be a way to show off the guild and show XoO pride at PAX :)

    giving 10 dollars paypal reward for the help :)

    thanks for reading

    Sure can do mate, tell me only which 1.5 button you're interested in (round or square)
    Also do you need the name 'asgaga' on it or maybe your real name, then you can PM me with precise datails what you want there.

    I do not expect any payment for helping you, if you really want to give away some money donate the XoO.

    Cheers ^ ^

    thanks abunch :)

    round would be great and Asgaga for the name.

    the name if possible on the outside really want XoO to the centerfold of the button, but have to have a name on it since its the rules.

    thanks again :D

    Better? I assumed only what was inside the dash-line circle actually made it onto the button.

    better yes but would it be to hard to have the name and guild inside the {[]} above and below the X - but i still do think this is better cause symbol is much much larger

    / /---asgaga---\ \
    | |------X -----| |
    \ \-xoohq.com-/ /

    more of what im talking about

    ignore the - in the pic above they are there to keep the space

    I think I see. You're looking for something more like...

    [:eek:]

    Right? Someone who's better in Pho'shop [pretty much anyone, lol] could make something that looks a lot cleaner.

    That thing is basically not allowed since it alters the XoO logo.

    This is what I came up with - tell me if the style suits you / what changes would you like.

    thanks for all the work :)
    if possible can it be darker like the xoo banner, but still keep the metalic blue aise?

    also if the you can take away the www. and just have xoohq.com.

    and finally if possible make asgaga and xoohq.com slighty smaller and in shinny black.

    sorry if its to many requests.

    also checking what format it needs to be in.

    I do not understand what you mean by shiny black... when I put the background in dark colour the black ain't gonna be visible on i? Unless I misunderstand the shiny black part s;

    dark enuff ? or do you want it darkish darkish blackish dark with some blueish tint? It might be hard to preserve the metallic look.

    I can help work on it a bit, I like what Aise did, but the xoohq.com text is too hard to read.

    True enough, I think I understand what you mean - lighter with no dark contrast will just blend... I will try to enhance a bit the contrast and try to change the letter's colour a bit, it does not quite match the background atm.
    Gimme few more hours <;

    Do you need it in CMYK ?
