The 'No Effect' Challenge

An exercise in restraint. This is something I've been trying recently and found really useful, so I thought I'd challenge others to it! Rebound something awesome, it can be something you're already working on, or something new, or the words 'No Effect', or something you like, or anything you want pretty much! But don't use any effects (see below).

Rules:
• No Textures
• No Gradients
• No Shadows
• No Gloss / Shine
• No Glows
• No Gubbins
• Anything else that feels wrong, don't do it

So just use solid text / shapes and colours. I would love to see what you come up with! If you disobey the rules hitherto mentioned, I will be forced to unleash my wrath. And I might even throw a bear.
