All sites have a 404 page. This is the page that shows up when the content that you're looking for does not exist. You probably have seen ours, if not, here it is. It's kind of boring, no?
A lot of websites have really cool 404 pages. Here are some cool examples to get you thinking.
I think our current 404 page is a bit boring so I thought that since we have a very creative community of it would be great if YOU could design an illustration to show on our 404 page. Please, submit your proposals! The more Scratch-related, simpler, cuter, funnier, cleverer... the better. Of course these metrics are totally subjective so you'll have to agree with our decision
This is one of the most viewed pages in most sites, including ours! It would be great to have your art there! We can accept only one image, but feel free to collaborate with others or work on your own in making one. Your username will be properly attributed.
Scratch on!
The size limitations are somewhat flexible, of course, we don't want a huge image but also not a tiny one. Think about what would look good in a computer with resolution of 1024x768 or higher. Here is, roughly, the space that you can imagine your image would be displayed:

Wow... so many announcements today.
....................................
Hmm... I might try this.
Maybe a Scratch Cat with a speech bubble...?
I'll have a think.
Note: Check the BBcode on the link for examples...

I'm done! I took a Scratch Cat from Wikipedia, took a speech bubble and attached it, and I was finished.
Hmm... that didn't take much work.
But I'm pleased with it anyway.
Here it is:

Great work, Chrischb! It looks so splendid! But what makes me like it most is that it's so... ideal. It's just so perfect having the Scratch Cat there, saying that stuff. It's brilliant!
And it looks nice.
I won't bother doing my own... you did great. I love it.
By the way, fanofcena, I don't think animating will work... Andrés wants an image, after all.

Cool design, Chrischb!
Thanks! I was worried if it was too rushed.

I'd rather have an image with not much text in it because translating text inside images is more complicated than translating plain text.

Well then why cant the image he posted be used intact and just with a link down there to go back i mean the whole image with the text in it

I'll used Chrischb's image but got ride of the text so here it is.
Text goes here ....................................................
Now what does this look like?
Edit: That looks ok.
Each line must use a certain amount of characters. Replace the dots with a space.
You should see my error page on my site

I like the idiom "The server is 'scratching' it's head" still
But nice ideas people have made...

I made two . There supposed to be more fun, not serious. I also used a transparent background
(I didn't include anything like "This page wasn't found" because that's already at the top of the page, right?)

Any rumination? (Consideration) I want to add more, but I also wanted to keep it unelaborated.

Henley, just a sidenote: Chop off some of the pics in your sig. You are not allowed to have that many. I got warned once!
