THERE'S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! Wait, actually there is.
Our Theme this time: MEDALS
"Holdonholdonholdoooooon. Don't we already have enough medals? Are you planning new ones?"
Kind of.
We're rolling out a new medal system soon, and I'm right now finishing up the code. But obviously, we can't go live unless we have some medal images!
YOUR TASK: Make shiny medals.
YOUR GUIDELINES:
Here are some samples to get you started...

YOUR TASK: Make shiny medals.
YOUR GUIDELINES:
- 48x48 pixels, PNG, no transparency, it's a square.
For normal medals, use #4190D8 as background color. For event medals, use #333333, and for secret medals, use #FFFF33.
Try to keep it simple, 3 or 4 colors at max.
Try to keep a consistent style with the existing medals (see below). Use this template border to get the effect.
Bonus points if you can upload your XCF/PSD/whatever so staff can still edit it a bit.
Protip: M$ Paint is almost useless here.
