About the Show
For years we have always wanted to create beautiful website templates which are dynamic and customizable. Over the last 30 days we put those thoughts into motion and with a lot of stress, coffee and lack of sleep we are now ready to launch the Obox Signature Series, a collection of Premium Wordpress themes.
To celebrate the launch of our new Premium Theme collection, we are holding a competition by giving giving 10 lucky winners the theme of their choice!
To help you decide on which theme you would like to win we have compiled a little list detailing each one. For more info please visit the re-organized and re-designed Obox Design website where you can take advantage of our 2-for-1 special which runs for 3 weeks.
Enough talking though, let's get into the themes!
Arcade
Arcade was inspired by the genius Martijn van Dam who creates some incredible designs. This theme is perfect for gamers or Sci-Fi movie bloggers who appreciate the roots of retro design.

Left Handed
Left Handed is a hand drawn theme and is perfect for those who have an art orientated blog and don't want to be left in the field with just another blog template. This theme will impress your readers with its attention to detail in the custom hand drawn fonts and a really cool threaded comment section.
This theme also includes three color options, Blue/Black and Red/Black and Army Green/Black. You will also receive a copy of the hand drawn font layer file that we created for the logo and sidebar headers.

Pinotage
Pinotage is based on the successful 'Hash One' theme. The scope of modifications in this theme are huge, the design is focused around the wine farm theme in terms of colors and texture.
With a well documented CSS file, easily modifiable image files and a powerful administraion section you will be able to customize this theme to your exact needs. Features include super slick jQuery and video blogging features.

Hey guys, Awesome to finally be at launch day. :)
I love Pinotage. The fine details around the edges of the content blocks and the colour scheme are really awesome... as is the video player widget ( and the cool way that it hides away :P ).
Cheers guys, the themes are looking awesome, Matt.
Mark Fulton 07 Jul, 2009 09:18:49 AM
Pinotage looks excellent, it's definitely my favorite! Left Handed is one of the coolest personal blog themes I have seen to date. Arcade is very sleek and fun, though some of the jQuery navigation effects seemed to act odd on the live demo.
Congratulations on your launch. Excellent collection so far!

Hi David, Hi Marc,
Congratulations to the both of you - all the hustling has definitely been worth it and has paid off. This is absolutely brilliant you guys!
Left Handed rocks the house, love all the hand drawn elements... and the details.... W-O-W-!
Looking forward, as I am sure many of us here are, to seeing this collection grow :)
Cheers, Analiza
Mike Smith 07 Jul, 2009 10:04:11 AM
AMAZING work. I believe you guys are setting a lot of standards when it comes to premium themes. I've been amazed at your work for a while now. Kudo's for getting the signature series off the ground.
With that said, I'd like to win the "Left Handed" them if possible :-P
Justin Slack 07 Jul, 2009 10:06:45 AM
Congratulations guys. All your hard work has certainly paid off. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
I think Pinotage is my favourite because of the video blogging opposrtunities it offers, generally an overlooked aspect of WordPress themes.
MarcForrest 07 Jul, 2009 10:08:33 AM
I dig Left Handed...such an orginal theme that won't be found anywhere else. Even if someone tries to replicate it !! Nice work guys !!
wdohmen 07 Jul, 2009 10:30:43 AM
Well, I think all the designs are great, left handed looks so much different then anything else, also makes me think of we are not freelancers.
The best one in my opinion, is Arcade, looks really nice and polished (love shiny)
Pinotage looks really nice as well, although it would feels more like something for a wine blog ;) To bad hash one isn't up for sale it looks so nice.
Hope you guys will get the success with these themes you deserve, my bet is they will be very successful and popular :)
Brendon 07 Jul, 2009 10:31:40 AM
Congratulations guys! Looking great. The Left handed theme is very cool. Keep up the good work.
Lauren Fowler 07 Jul, 2009 10:39:02 AM
Guys!!! They all look fantastic!!! Pinotage is a winner for me as it's slick, simple and has video blogging!!
You've worked so hard, you're an inspiration! I'm glad I got to watch for the last long haul. Keep it up!
Craig Farrall 07 Jul, 2009 10:53:53 AM
Wow, you guys never seem to stop amazing me. You two have done a great job, and only in 30 days, hats off to you both definately.
As @Colorburned said, get some much deserved sleep.
Whereas which theme I would like to win, I am torn between left handed and Pinotage, but I think Pinotage is my shout.
Kirstin Pauk 07 Jul, 2009 12:00:38 PM
Wow, the themes look amazing guys!
I'd pick Pinotage, as it's flexible and allows for some great customization ideas.
Rob MacKay 07 Jul, 2009 12:02:33 PM

Dave and Marc,
I love this series!! I especially love Arcade and Left Handed. Although, Pino definitely has its place!
If I were lucky enough to win one, I'd take Left Handed. :D
Giddy.
Jacques Bruwer 07 Jul, 2009 16:19:49 PM

Andrew S 07 Jul, 2009 16:19:59 PM

Nic Brownlee 07 Jul, 2009 18:46:53 PM
Left Handed all the way ! And I REALLY deserve it as I've just come back to the thunder storms in the UK from the totally awesome Cape Town. Last week in Hout Bay was magical . . . you lucky guys !
Ricardo Chiappe 07 Jul, 2009 19:11:59 PM
Hi guys.
Finally the "final chapter" of the series of previews. I was expecting something amazing, but man I was way short on that.
Love all of them, but specially Left Handed :) (I am left-handed and illustrator, so fits great).
MMM... I'm forgetting something... oh yeah! Go to sleep now, after these 30 days u don't forget about that one :P
Saludos,
@6omma

Aaron Irizarry 07 Jul, 2009 21:03:09 PM

kyle steed 07 Jul, 2009 22:53:46 PM
I think any of these would be wonderful to have. You guys have seriously upped the game in custom theme development. Plus the back-end OCMX-Live is pure hotness.
Great job you guys.
alberto 07 Jul, 2009 23:19:25 PM

Wogan 07 Jul, 2009 23:26:18 PM
Very cool - I'm blogging, not commenting, so you'll see that in a bit.
Hate to nitpick (and this is a fair oversight, completely permissible given the amount of work you guys put in) but all the preview images link to arcade.
Keep up the good work!
Brett 07 Jul, 2009 23:39:23 PM
Awesome job! You guys do some of the cleanest design I have seen in a long time. Very good.
Sam 07 Jul, 2009 23:57:31 PM
Love Arcade... brilliant theme (well, they all are, but I'm a Sci-Fi geek). Being a winner of HashOne I won't be greedy and enter the comp.
Dainis Graveris 08 Jul, 2009 00:01:49 AM
I wish you best luck and seems like very good contest - I think you'll be doing just fine, beautiful themes, though I will not compete, I like the whole idea together :)
Lucas 08 Jul, 2009 00:31:43 AM
I'd really like to win that Lefthanded theme *pretty hot theme* Good luck everyone (: And congrats for the good job guys.
Matt Hodder 08 Jul, 2009 03:04:09 AM
Digging all the themes. I'm going to go against the grain and say I would love to win Arcade. Keep up the great work, hoping to see more like these in the future.
Dave 08 Jul, 2009 04:01:27 AM
Been looking forward to seeing these themes for a month now. You done a great job of hyping their release.
I would like a copy of arcade. Like the attention to detail. Mostly of all I want to take a look at the backend of these themes!
Lane 08 Jul, 2009 13:38:23 PM
The sites I build seem to look better with a light theme, so I'd love to get Pinotage.
webbografico 08 Jul, 2009 17:49:47 PM
i really like left handed... come on like this guys... you're doing a great job (i've won HashOne in your previous giveaway... let's try another time
Chris Bishop 08 Jul, 2009 19:49:53 PM
I love the left handed theme (I am left handed myself) great job guys can't wait to hopefully get my hands on it.
SE7ENize 08 Jul, 2009 20:00:41 PM
I like Pinotage theme.
The title of each post on this blog always interests me, but my internet connection speed is too slow to watch the video. I prefer to reading the text.
casidios 08 Jul, 2009 20:02:30 PM
I love Pinotage. In fact, I loved Hash-One, could you put it again to buy, pleeeeeease
Sanid 09 Jul, 2009 14:25:11 PM

Nikolai 13 Jul, 2009 11:23:24 AM
Hey guys.
Well done on the launch of the Obox Signature Series! I was away on holiday when it launched, but I was extremely excited to check it out yesterday when I got back, and I have to say that it is AMAZING!
Well done for sticking it through!
I would have to say that my fav is Left Handed ;)
Jacob Haug 13 Jul, 2009 11:23:59 AM
Looks great guys, amazing work! The Web Squeeze has followed you, and I'll add you to my twitter as well!
Rachel 13 Jul, 2009 12:16:23 PM
Wow! I just recently discovered the Obox themes because of Chat Creative and I'm amazed I hadn't already heard about them...the themes are so fresh and so well designed and coded. My favourite has to be Pinotage - although Left Handed is a close second with the amazing attention to detail with the hand-drawn elements. However, Pinotage looks so easily customisable so it would be perfect to customise for any wordpress website. Also, the latest video section is simply amazing. Love it :)
formlotse 14 Jul, 2009 10:01:18 AM
Congratulations on the launch! I really would like to win the Left Handed theme.
Gabi 14 Jul, 2009 10:17:34 AM
I just want to say that all the theme's you've created are amazing and you guys have done a stellar job-well done!
I'm a fan of Left Handed as I think it has a personal feel with the hand drawn element yet still retains an air of professionalism, perfect for any blog.
Arcade comes in as a close second as I like the overall set up and design with it's clean lines and array of colours.
Again well done as it seems all your hard work has certainly paid off to produce an outstanding number of themes! :)
TheLanceLife 14 Jul, 2009 15:18:56 PM
Really great work in both graphic and coding !
I would love to win Arcade Theme and use it for TheLanceLife ;)
Keep up the great work Obox bros :)
frujo 14 Jul, 2009 15:27:40 PM
I do love Pinotage the most. Arcede is pretty nice too, but I can't see it to used anywhere except a blog about cars and races or console video-games =) Anyhow, all of the themes are cool and you guys rock, just as you usual :)
Dave 14 Jul, 2009 17:54:12 PM
I love Left-Handed. You guys did such a great job on these themes, I envy your abilities!
Great work!
vik407 14 Jul, 2009 18:01:58 PM
Love it Pinotage, the solid clear design is a great value in this template.
