I decided I wanted some case badge type graphics for a new theme I'm putting together. I think they came out pretty good.

If you want the graphics I can give them to you in PNG or PSD to preserve the transparency in the drop shadows. Then you can use Photoshop or whatever to add them to your theme background.

Here's an example of what they might look like on your today screen.

I chose these three because that's what's in my e750. The example theme is "Skate Punk" which is available with a matching WMP skin and desktop wallpaper at PocketGear and Handango (without the badges).

If you want to make your own badges to match these let me know and I'll make sure I include a clipping path in the PSD version for the rounded square shape. The glass and shadow effects came from Alien Skin and I'll be glad to send you those settings as well if you need them.

What's Alien Skin? Is that a Photoshop plug-in?

Alien Skin Eye Candy (http://www.alienskin.com/ec4k/ec4000_main.html) is a set of filters for Photoshop.

Hmm...interesting. Nice design, but be careful about copyright laws. Also, I value my today screen space, so I'm not sure if I'd really use these.

Nice job though.
