The iShop needs some more decorative symbols/icons aside from what we currently have. I will need your help on it and I will be awarding you for it. However, it is not just some random copy from internet site images and paste it here. You can do that but you need to fulfill several criteria for the picture to be valid for this contest.
Criteria for picture:
1) Must have transparent background.
2) Must be saved in .png
3) The area size of the picture must be 60 pixel(height) x 50 pixel(width), the symbol itself can be around the size like what you see in the iShop.
4) Think of symbol that can be used for both dark and light background.
5) If you have chosen an existing symbol but with a non-transparent background, please clean/clear it up first using Photoshop and paste it on a transparent background.
6) It can be fancy or very simple.
7) Not animated.
8) It can be existing image or an image you created by yourself. If it's an image you created on your own, please include it as a note in your entry.
9) Not a must but preferably something that's not very flat or looked like a card image... something with a bit of 3D or shadow too if that helps. Please think about images that you might want to be a part of the iShop.
10) Do remember to keep the .psd of your file just in case.
11) Better sample size that I prefer will be like this:
Types of symbol needed:
Any types from... hearts, stars, slash, music notes, patterns or any icons/symbols.
I am also looking for the male and female symbol in a set, like male ♂ and female ♀

8) Please don't post something you feel you don't really like but just to get entry points =x
I will be rewarding some points for each pic at the end of this contest, haven't decide how much so it depends on how many submissions I am getting. But it will be at least 10,000 points for each symbol submission or more, not 100 points don't worry.
Winning symbol gets to be featured and sold in the iShop. Your name will be credited in the iShop. Winners will get 200,000 points per chosen entry.
NOTE: I reserve the right to pick or not pick a winning symbol at the end of the contest, just in case all the symbols are not what I really expected. And most of all, please accept that I might not choose your symbol as the winning symbol eventhough the symbol looked fantastic in many people's eyes... I am picking one that I felt is suitable for the forum. I am the only judge in this contest. I don't know how many symbols I am going to pick for winners.
