#9, Zen-ish gets my vote.

[xray]

You forgot to vote Fade. I voted for #9 also.

[donnhw]

Damn, that was tough! :( I just spent the last 10 mins looking them all over. ALL of them are very much deserving of gracing the top of the page - Well done everybody!! :bowdown: :clap:

:1st: BUT, I did vote & went with #6, MM's entry. :thumbup No offense to the others, his just caught my eye more than the others for whatever reason.

Personally, I think we should use them all & just rotate them (if that's not too much of a pain-in-the-bollocks). I think, because we are choosing a winner, that we keep the winner's banner up for a full month (or something like that) and then start rotating the others in every two weeks (or whatever). :unsure: Any thoughts?

[Jack Ass]

I vote for number 5. :P

And with the help of my 200 other accounts it will win. :muahaha:

[Radon]

Voting for #2 :D

Stood out the most to me, with Superfly's ones close on its tail.

[Mister Mischief]

Well, I know it defeats the purpose of a contest, but I do have a very small script that can be used to rotate the banners. It just needs to have all the images in the same folder.

That wasn't up when I checked in last night. Just did, so if you added number 9 for me then just take one off the final count.

All of them were great but in the end Zen's just did it for, he had a great number of celebs & JHBs without making it look "crowded". Just stood out more to me than the others but all were really hard to choose from. All of them are on the same level and no one fell behind. This vote is going to be tough for many people.

[masterthes]

Going with 9, but great job on all of them

[xray]

They were all up last night. I posted all of these at once.

[Mister Mischief]

I voted for crash myself, I didnt wanna vote for myself. I like Zens except for the way the pics in the middle are cropped, looks tacky.

[xray]

I thought of that too Mr. M, like the sigs. ;) Maybe you could ask NFS about that.

[Crash Override]

Thank You for any of the votes.

I do have the same qualms with number 9... I think it would be good, but the -cut- (meaning the straight edges) on them middle two pictures are a bit off.

I'm going to be honest I voted for myself cause I think they are the best (I hate sounding arrogant cause I try not to be.. but I had to) followed by MM and Superfly #1

Good job on the entries though

[Zen_ish]

I voted for mine of course too. But actually I've got one that's just as good if not better that I made today before I realized that the contest was over.
Maybe we could use it some other time.
If you'd like to see it too let me know
:thumbsup:

Sure, I'd like to see it, post it! :D

[Superfly]

Number 3 gets my vote.
Nice work Crash. I think really, mine was my favourites, but I'm not going to vote for myself and Crash was a lose 2nd.

Quite frankly, i wish we could've had some better entries (even from myself) - But I guess we all have our constraints.

Skill, Time, Software, Effort.

[Crash Override]

Hey man I appreciate it, but if you think yours is the best you should vote for it and be proud!

I think I did pretty damn good myself even with the tiny space that we have to use. :D

I always go the art route in my uh.. art, because I appreciate seeing beauty and stuff rather than just skin so my stuff will never really be TNA

Don't get me wrong though, I love me some tna :D

Ok, in case I win anyway now we'll have two to choose from. (or alternate with)
But it just hit me yesterday that since I had a horizontal medium to work with that I should have looked for horizontal pictures. :rolleyes:
Also concerning the straight cropped edges on some of the pics... I didn't crop them that way, that was all there was to the pic so I wanted to include as much of the girl as possible which meant one edge was straight. And if I rounded off a cropped off leg it would look like a stump. :shocked2 :rofl
:thumbsup:

[Crash Override]

The thing is though Zen that the design is completely thrown off when you leave straight edges (it distracts the eye)

:agree I wouldn't say it 'completely' throws it off, but it does distract.
Still, good effort...way to think outside the norm though! :thumbsup:

Actually in the my second one the straight lines kind of give a break for the lettering.
Plus I don't really see much difference between these two pics. (except one has a little less Love to love)

I agree. Nasty nasty straight lines.

We do realize don't we that the "design" is built out of straight lines?
We call that blue thing in the background a "rectangle"...
:whisltes :banana :banana :banana
:lol:

[Superfly]

Smarty pants. Its only confined to a rectangle because it needs a border.

anyways, i fear if this goes on for much longer its gonna get catty, and none of us want that.

[xray]

OK, let's just declare Zen_ish the winner, #9.

[Superfly]

Hey hey, im on the come back, hehe, lets not get to a hasty decision - the voting has only been up for a couple of days.

[xray]

I PM'd NFS about that, but this will remain open to voters and if the winner changes, then the top banner will change accordingly.

YOU CAN STILL VOTE.

[Jack Ass]

Yay! Somebody voted for my first entry. I'm coming, guys, I'm coming!

What do you guys want to do about #10. It didn't get any votes because everyone had already voted before it got posted.
(including me)
:huh: :hmmm:
