[3000+ credits] XHTML/CSS templates and logo

[garrettroyce]

I'm in need of an XHTML/CSS template for a forum. This is my own forum software, so you have zero constraints except for those I explicitly post here. Note that there are three distinctly different offers here. Also note that the offer prices are at least what I put. If you think you have something worth more, let me know and I will consider it. If I think you really went above and beyond or really spent a lot of time and effort into this, you will be rewarded as greatly as I can afford

Offer 1 - Plain XHTML/CSS Forum template [750+ Credits]

• This should be a fairly standard forum index page
• Must be standards compliant (must pass WC3 validation)
• Must be an original design (I will check for plagiarism)
• Must be compatible with all modern browsers (do not use proprietary code)
• No javascript
• No images (except logo)
• No tables
• Avoid use of absolute positioning (treat this as a "NO" unless you have a really really really good reason to not
• Dark themed (use reasonable contrast - no dark grey font on black background)
• Must be able to be viewed on resolutions as low as 800x600 px without being completely distorted
• Please fake textual content with Lorem Ipsum or similar
• These elements at least must exist, though you may add your own personal touches
  • Logo area 400w x 150h px
  • Login box
  • Menu bar with room for up to 10 options
  • Title
  • List of threads
  • Forum statistics (post count, user count, online users, etc)
  • Execution staticstics (queries, execution time)
• Examples: http://forums.d2jsp.org/ http://www.freelayouts.com/templates/Melmac

Offer 2 - Advanced Forum template [1500+ Credits]

• Everything from offer 1, but there are no limitations on what you can use as long as you use your own scripts. Proprietary code is very highly discouraged.
• The template does not have to be identical to offer 1, but it should be similar. If you aren't working on both, you will need to collaborate with the other author.
• Still, no tables or absolute positioning

Offer 3 - Graphic logo [750+ Credits]

• Size must be 150h x 400w px
• Based on text "LiquidPHP"
• Dark colors
• Fluid themed

You may PM me your finalized products or ideas if you would like to keep your privacy. Please post questions or comments in this thread so others can learn

There will be more special rewards for you as well when I am done creating my software ;)

Thanks!

I don't have enough time to make a template but I can still play with logo

Here's a preview, colors and other details are changeable so feel free to suggest anything. Sample image has a dark background for displaying purposes, final version will be a transparent PNG.

Could you do something like this using the style from your first demo?

I was thinking of a silver type color (like liquid mercury)

Yeah, I like that a lot. Could you whip up something with the droplets of water like the image I linked? If not, I'll be happy to use this

Taha116, if you have something ready I'll consider using that too. I'll want some banners too so I can use an extra

I'm not taking any more offers on the logo after this, but the templates remain open for any takers.

[farscapeone]

No, I can't do that cos it means I have to making completely new logo and I just can't do that right know. Sorry

If you like this one please notify me so I can upload the final version.

And don't forget I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH THIS LOGO ON MY PORTFOLIO SITE.
