Calling all artsy folks in St. Blog's Parish!
The Catholic Blogs and Resources page, St. Blog's Parish Aggregator, and St. Blog's Parish Web Ring are in need of promotional buttons. They should be at least 100px by 100px and no larger than 130px wide by 162px tall. Designs should be simple, elegant, and not based on any copyrighted images or phrases. An example from which to draw inspiration would be the Firefox and Thunderbird logos. I don't want to offer any more suggestions for fear of stifling creativity.
I really have no way of rewarding the artist whose design is picked except in the form of attribution and gratitude. Are there any kind souls out there who'd be interested in helping out with this?

Unfortunately, I don't have the resources nor the talent, but I do have a couple of ideas for a design if you or any of your artistic readers would like to consider them.
Note: I'm picturing some slick colorscheming like many of the XP Icons and the Firefox/Thunderbird buttons.
One would be to have the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart together, perhaps having the Immaculate Heart a bit smaller, but sort of overlapping the Sacred Heart.
The other idea, which is actually quite simple would be an orb like that of Christ the King and Infant of Prague. Essentially a globe with a gold crown over the upper half and a cross on the top. You can see the basic idea here.
