No problem. I think I know who you're talking about since I'm also staff there (mentor). The thing is that I am also a designer and consider the icons to be a nice idea, but low graphical quality. They are indeed original, but pixelated. and that means they don't display OK on your forums and that means they need more work. I don't think it's a compare situation in the end.I am not here to brag about how many skins for forums I made or how many titles I got for my creations, I don't even want to tell you the advice there is bad because it's not. I am just telling you that I like the icons as an idea, but they are as I said low image quality and detrimental to your overall look for the forums
You can get a lot of people to do graphical work for you, free or paid. The problem with free is that you need to get the designer in an "clientless time", otherwise they won't work. I made some free skins and graphics, but I can commit to a project only when I have a hiatus in the work with the clients. The second option would be the paid work and in this case you'll find many people available. You need to check the portfolios with care and then decide. Highest price doesn't mean best work as lowest price doesn't mean best work or worst. It's all about the portfolio and what that designer can do ...
