Obox Signature Series Contest

The Obox Signature Series Contest

David and Marc Perel founded Obox Design over five years ago in Cape Town, South Africa. They have experience ranging from blog design to full site customization. In my opinion, they have created some of the best designed websites on the Internet!

For years the guys from Obox Design have always wanted to create beautiful website templates which are dynamic and customizable. Over the last 30 days they put these thoughts into action. With a lot of stress, coffee, and lack of sleep they are now ready to launch the Obox Signature Series, a collection of Premium WordPress themes.

To celebrate the launch (literally moments ago) of their new Premium Theme collection the ‘Obox Signature Series’, we are holding a competition by giving away 1 of one of their new themes!

I don’t know about you guys but I love the number seven and I can’t think of a better day to launch these awesome themes!

Below are the three themes in the series. Click on the screenshots and demo pages for a full view.

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 our ultra 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 admin section you will be able to customize this theme to your exact needs.

Features include super-slick jQuery and video blogging features.

All their themes are packaged with OCMX-Live, a powerful add-on to the Wordpress backend which allows you to control and customize elements of your theme including:

  • Comment Control
  • Analytics Install
  • Custom Logo Input
  • Menu Structure Management
  • Create custom galleries
  • Advert Management
  • Meta tagging

In the front end their themes include features like:

  • AJAX commenting
  • Threaded Comments
  • Video support
  • jQuery effects
  • High quality design
  • Feature Post scrollers

I use WordPress a lot — Viddler’s blog runs on it — and I’ve never seen a WP theme that puts so much effort in to the frontend and backend. The winner of this contest is going to be one lucky kid!

Simply leave a comment on this blog stating which theme you prefer and follow @oboxthemes on Twitter and you stand a chance to win a copy of either Arcade, Lefthanded or Pinotage.

All winners will receive a full year of support for their new theme for free. For more info you can visit the Obox Design website where you can view their full theme collection and more details on support and pricing.

Giddy luck!

    All their themes are awesome, very cutting edge. The details they put into the design really make them stand out.

    Pinotage would be the one I would have to pick if I were to win one!

    I think Left-Handed is probably the best of all of them.

    Arcade is very original, Pinotage is sharp, but I love left-handed.

    Great work @oboxthemes!
