My final version is now uploaded as of 10:40 PM EST. Enjoy. Best of luck to everyone!
EDIT: Thanks Phobetor! I just now read your post. Hope you like the newer version even better. 
It's a pity you can't change the background for user notes on the right of your homepage. Especially in darker theme's, like excelguru's, it would be useful to be able to change the background color.

First off THANK YOU ALL for participating :) You all made some fun and interesting themes - very nice!
Jay and I unanimously agreed on the following:
Top Selection: Phobetor (wins 6 months of Chess Mentor!) - we chose this one because it was the most appropriate for the Chess.com homepage (most readable and inviting) and also had a fun logo. simple, effective.
Most Creative: excelguru (wins 3 months of Chess Mentor!) - we just loved this theme! so creative and interesting :) unfortunately it wasn't appropriate for the homepage, but what a wonderful theme.
Best Logo: RC_Woods (wins 3 months of Chess Mentor!) - really cool logo and great choice of overall site colors.
Thank you to those of you who worked on this. There were several other cool themes, backgrounds, logos, etc.
Congrats to all and thank you! We'll be doing a similar contest for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, and New Years!
:(
man this sucks. My logo didnt work for no reason!?! got any ideas. I used photoshop and saved it once as a .gif and once as a .jpg both didnt work!
Wow, thanks! 
I really thought excelguru would win... But I also understand that for the frontpage, you'd prefer a lighter theme over a darker theme. I guess that's the main reason why I came first and excelguru second
DAMN!! I new mine wasn't good i didnt know how to use the photo shop for the logo
lol. my logo did work afterall :P yay! Thanks erik. too bad luke!
here, i dont know you to post the link, but its on my profile. BTW, its not mine, its KevenSyx's. I would mind 3 months of free time though :-P

You should change the motto from "Play. Learn. Share." to "Play. Learn. Scare." methinks.
lol
need submissions by Oct 28th.
you can gift it (but it is 6 months of chess mentor, not membership).
you should make it at least 1700px wide if you center (and remove the middle 900 px to keep it small!)
It's Oct 28th now, so I guess someone will become very happy today
If my theme doesn't win, I'd vote for excelguru's theme. His colors are nicely balanced, and the logo looks nice as well. I almost like his theme more than mine...
(of course I like my theme a little more than his 
)
