I humbly propose, that in the interest of cooperation and to make more signal than noise—there's nothing wrong with posting design ideas on this thread...I thought this is what this area is for.

Steve, Grace, there's no reason why designers posting here needs to equal "pressure". Those who cannot program are interested in contributing, and for most of us, these are graphics ideas.

We realize that nothing is carved in stone, there's no winner, there's just posts and people liking or disliking them.

Let's all agree on mutual respect and let's pay some deference to those who have the most work ahead of them at this point.

By the way, I thought this was interesting: designers are already coming up with beautiful "flat designs", for mobile devices and Win 8

Pixeden free flat design icons

My Best,
