Orkron Studios has a new, unique login screen! And thanks to Binary Moon, who created a plugin to streamline the process of installation,  upgrading Wordpress will no longer overwrite your hard work!

From Binary Moon:

I developed this plugin to give people an easy way to add a custom wordpress login screen. The plugin eases upgrading (in particular on client websites) and includes a login screen kit to speed up development of your own screens.

You can download their handy Wordpress plugin from their site – I highly reccomend it for anyone who wants a custom look for their Wordpress Blog!

You can see the Login Screen in action here.
