1UP!!!!

Springleap.com sends out a mega congratulatory WOOOT WOOOT to our latest winner Eggzoo.

This super talented designer walked away with our November 2 Open Theme win after his retro video game inspired Old Friend design made huge waves with our community.

Everybody knows the classic Mario Brothers characters from the legendary Nintendo franchise. Mario & Luigi have appeared in countless sub-culture designs over the years, but this is certainly the best that has ever come through on Springleap, or most other design contest websites for that matter.

Our Open Theme November 2 was Eggzoo’s first contest with Springleap and also his first win! This is a rare phenomenon. Usually new designers need to find their groove and see what kind of designs work for the community. However, Eggzoo chose the perfect design to kick off his Springleap career. Using such a universally popular theme like the Mario Brothers is always sure to generate interest and popularity quickly…as long as the quality is there - and that it definitely is!

While the Mario Brothers theme is relatively common with regards to sub-culture, it does not mean that it is always easy to win with it. The very fact that it is ‘popular’ means that you have to work double hard to just make it equal to other top submissions. Old Friend is so much more than we are used to seeing from the Mario Brothers theme, and the community echoed this sentiment from the start. The design received massive ‘vote recognition’ and a stream of positive comments from Springleap members the world over!

This design is going to be a huge seller and we have no doubt that our certified resellers will be ‘chomping at the bit’ to get their hands on it.

If you want to say hello and congratulate Eggzoo, please pop across to his Springleap profile page, or comment on the Old Friend design page.

We for one are very excited to see what this designer comes up with next. Will it be retro, something quirky like his Strawberry Crab, or perhaps something totally unexpected? We can't wait to see more!

Well done & welcome to the Springleap family !
