Do you think it's time for another great freebie? Yeah, I do to. This time, I present another high resolution texture pack called Seashore Shells. This pack contains 5 textures (1000 px of width) of small shells, stuck to a pole in the sea together with seaweed. I made these pictures on a beach in the Netherlands while I was on vacation.

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use. Download the texture pack from the download section.

Q-dance is one of the leading harder styles dance festival organizers of the world. I really love these harder styles (hardstyle / hardcore) of music and already visited a couple of these great dance events.

Every festival from Q-dance has their own logo. These logos are already really good, but what I like most about it is the fact that Q-dance changes the logo of the festival to the theme of the festival. This theme changes every year, which means that there will be continuously new logos for the parties.

These logos are great to look at and will surely get your design juices going. You'll recognize the logos over each year, but each time with a different touch (theme). You can try it out for yourselve: Pimp your own logo (if you have one) to own-chosen theme! Get inspired by these logos to get a good idea on how great this can look like.
