I’ve got an awesome contest this week, a contest where everbody is a winner. Alex, my cohort over at Designious.com is going to read all of your comments and design a custom vector pack, according to what the majority of you want. All you have to do is let us know what vector pack you would enjoy, Alex will make it, and it will be given away to everyone as an exclusive freebie here at BittBox.

What kind of vector pack do you want the most?
