michelangelo needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We'd like a skin to drop over our kids arcade game website at http://xn--12c8d1a4fxc.com/ (that spells "games.com" in thai - see main brief). We're happy with our general IA - we just need a "look and feel" for it. You can play with the IA if the design really requires it. We've run 7 sitepoint competitions and have 7 happy and fully paid 1st place winners. Will you win this one? :)
Desired Color Scheme:
Colorful and cute colors in general. Working a red theme into it would be ideal but not essential, and especially not if it looks bad or doesn't work with the other colors.
Desired Style:
Cute, teenager, web2.0, vibrant and colorful

Thai people like the color red, so we would like to go with a design that uses that as the main color, and use that variant of the logo which has a red background.
$50 bonus to the winner if they code the template into HTML.
You don't need to know Thai for this comp. If you want to rip text off the existing website and embed that in graphics, you're welcome to. English placeholders are also fine in a PSD file, and we can change that to thai as required.
The logo PSD can be downloaded from: http://xn--12c8d1a4fxc.com/logo.zip

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) What is an IDN?
http://xn--12c8d1a4fxc.com/ is an IDN (International Domain Name) and translates to "games.com" in the Thai language. Currently only IE7 and Opera support IDNs out-of-the-box, and if you use them to load that URL, the messy "english" domain "xn--12c8d1a4fxc" will appear in proper thai characters.
What is an IDN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern…omain_name
2) How do I enable Thai characters?
Very easy: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/…pp.mspx#E4
3) What browser do I need for IDN?
Any, but IE7 and Opera work out of the box. Firefox works but you have to change the settings as specified here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/sec…-list.html
4) Where can I get some thai fonts?
There are many unicode fonts, as well as dedicated thai fonts. Here is a list of unicode fonts containing the thai alphabet:
