The ads were designed by David Gee out of Toronto, who by day is an advertising copywriter and by night is a freelance book cover designer. He's also the designer behind the cover for my own novel, Boob Tube. See David's fantastic work at his blog, David Gee, Works on Paper.

I like the "Save a tree" message. It's one of the main things that's going to increase the popularity of ebooks. Don't like the "Can't spell" one. Not good to promote the idea that self-publishing is comprised of some crappy writing.
Henry, a Smashwords author shared the same concern, and I agree, so we'll discontinue its use. Thanks.
How about making a 125x125 ad block? I'd love to include it on my blog
Tom, unfortunately, we don't have any square ones yet. How about if I changed the width of one of the vertical rectangles to 125?
