Help me design my sticker!

I need help designing a sticker. I have an image in mind but no way to get it across as my drawing skills are pretty rudimentary. Maybe someone out there can help. I want an image that's pretty basic: a hand about to press down on a button viewed from the top and with little detail. Like a basic line drawing. Something you'd see in a technical manual or an old comic. Something that says something to the effect of "ALERT ALERT, The Zylons are attacking!" visually.
Any one up to the task?

I could give it a shot, but I'd need a few more specifications...

Is the button an oval, a rectangle, a circle, or a square?
Is any part of the drawing in color?

Is this something like what you're looking for?


Note: I didn't make that, it's something I found somewhere on the internet...but it might provide some guidelines and a point of reference for what you want.

Hey thanks for digging that up, cool image but I have a different idea in mind. I figured that the sticker would be a rectangle, 2 x 4 maybe, and the image would be on the left hand side taking up about one third of the available space. The remaining two thirds would be text. The image itself would be one colour, extremely simple and the text also being the same colour. Super cheap. The picture of the hand I have in my head is seen from the top at around a 45 degree angle, but its not set in stone. The lines of the hand and the button are very clean, as if they were inked by some comic book inker. or like something out of a technical manual. Think tof he art you see in the safety fold out on the airlines and that's the idea. The button is on the larger side and the entire hand is looks like it's about to slam down on it quickly. There are also "lightning bolts" for lack of a better term radiating from the button ala something you'd see in a pop art piece to indicate urgency. I don't know if any of this makes sense.

Alright, I'll have a go at it.

And just curious... what is this going to be used for?
