[edited version of the previous voting thread]

To create a contest that's perfectly fair, please:

A) Don't vote for yourself
B) Don't make duplicate accounts to vote for yourself
C) Give us a reason why you voted.

If your vote doesn't have an opinion, it will not be counted. To make sure all is fair we ask you to judge based on the colors, the render, the positioning of the characters (not the characters themselves such as "LUIGI ISN'T THERE, IT SUCKS"), the contrast, and everything else that makes a banner, a banner.

The winner gets to modify his banner, aka to fix the errors the others have requested/noticed.

The current banner is NOT mine anymore, so it is a contestant for itself.

Refrain from harsh criticism such as "it sucks dick, add more color contrast" because not everybody is as "good" as you. If you have criticism, SAY it, don't leave it open-ended.


Vote for a 1st and 2nd place.
1st place will gain 3 points
2nd place will gain 1 point


Contestants:

The current banner: There is no point in posting a screenshot of it. It's right up there, so compare it with the others.

My votes go to Zman, for his surprisingly well-fitting banner and to the current banner, which I like a tiny bit more than Pik's.

Zman, your banner looks really ordinary when it stands alone, but as soon as I put it up on the forum, I was amazed how good it actually looks. There's nothing I'd fix, except perhaps drop the DDR Mario and change it for some other picture.

Pik, I liked your previous banner, but you really made almost no changes since. I still like it, I just like the current one a bit more. But I'd really like to change it, along with the icons, so I hope you'll vote for the others.

That's all.

My fist vote goes to Mama's. It is well cropped, god images and goes well with the Nintendo theme.

My 2nd goes to the current banner. it is still nice looking, with good concept to go for another round.

1. Mama. My gosh. It's awesome. Can I say anymore?

2. Bloody el, this is a close one, but I have to say Pik's. Although it's basically the same from last time, it's one of your better ones and has really nice blending with everything.

Sorry Zman, but that 3D effect. Wai you hurt mah eyes? D: lol

My vote goes to Pikmintendo, because it's centered perfectly. The choice of font is also pretty cool. Best of all, the positioning of the characters makes it look like it might be a preview to a new game.

You have to give your second vote to someone, otherwise I won't count it.

First to teh Original, it still fits really well.

Second to Skoch, which still looks good, but doesn't fit the theme perfectly. It looked better on its own.

*Bumping this back in the Latest Topics. Everyone should vote!

my first goes to mamas banner. I really like the space-like theme and the shiny mew in the background
second vote goes to pik because the banner looks very refreshing and new..

Okay, so that's it for the contest. Thanks for your participation. As my banner won by a little margin, I modified the current banner and I'm keeping it for another week there. I hope you like the changes. I tried to fix the character misplacing and the font. I also added some small effects, to make it look a little updated.

After that, we'll switch to the new one.

The old banner looks really nice now with the slight effects.

Yea, I like it too. I wish I made it this way from the beginning xD

There we go

Too late, Skinny. But it wouldn't change the outcome anyways.

Oh well, I tried ma best.

Come on dude, it's been over a week. I can't wait to see the new banner replace this one.

I'm finding a new theme. I don't want to change it just yet.

Yay! New theme! Thank you, Mama!
