So was sarcastic hinting suffice enough?

To be honest, there are indeed several bland styles here. But lets not forget, they are free. That's actually probably why they're listed for free. Perhaps a few users trying to get the swing of things, and donating along the way (which is very kind imo). Or maybe a designer who has a few extras he wouldn't mind donating or receiving publicity from. Regardless, you get what you pay for in life. And in reference to the designers here, I think we have a few talented ones actually. Whether they decide to use the hours and hours spent on "donations" or not.
