[Competition] Skeleton Board for a Mousepad design from you

This is a little competition.

My goal is to have a wonderful design for a Mousepad from treble318.
http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t=Mousepad
I need a picture with a minimum of 2700x1800 pixel resolution for a 18"x12" Mouspad.
My skill in gfx is very limited so i would be happy to get one from you.

The slogan (motto) should be out of this proposals:
Arcade (old Arcade Games like Defender or Asteroids)
Unreal Tournament (only the original from 1999)
Nametag "CeeSA"
Abstraction from this Foto

Less colors are prefered. White is also welcome. The gfx could be small.
Maybe you could do something that would be suitable to my desktop:

Your reward for your desgin (i will pick a winner or max. 2) would be a skeleton board like this one:
http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t=Skeleton
Cherry 1851 ISO Board w/ Cherry MX Black.

Special: you could specify the 6 buttons on the right: 1,4,7,Enfg, Entf
I will rewire (hardwaremod) them for your needs.

Worldwide shipping costs are on my side, so you have no money output at all!

Deadline is the 15.04. 19:00 CET

Please post your serious suggestions here.

Love the idea but we need more info mate!

1) Will you be using the pad in portrait or landscape position?
2) Will the entire pad be visible or will it be partially covered by for example a keyboard (12 by 18 inches is pretty huge)?
3) What is the current theme/color scheme for the desk the mouse-pad will complement?

1) only landscape
2) pad is for the mous only
3) Image

Not that I'm likely to get you anything useful, but out of curiosity, if you have a minute:
- What's that keyboard on your desk, and what's the case made of?
- What's your screen background when it's not covered by Chrome?
- Is your monitor bezel white or grey? Can't see from the pic.

If I was a true artist I'd want to coordinate the mousepad with the wallpaper too.
But I'm not, so it was just idle curiosity. :)

And this?

Also, that pic I fudged up was just your brother's head 8 times neatly in a circle, the color was all his :P
Oh, and you have footswitches.. what functions?

Tip: You might want to make sure your mouse will actually work nicely on a mat with solid colours.. (cloth does help)
Is that an mx500? Thought I was the last with a live one ;)
