Yes, you heard me right! ^^ It's that time again folks - The Official Swamp Signature and Avatar Competition! Well, entering has now closed, and it's time to start voting. I want everyone, yes, everyone in the Swamp to be voting this time for their favourite sig/av combination, listed in the following few posts.

First though, I'd like to establish one or two rules:

1. You can only vote once.
2. You cannot vote for yourself.
3. Either myself or Sivy B will keep up to date with the scores, so make it clear who you're voting for.

To vote, simply put the name of the person in your post, with a reason why you have voted for them, if possible:)Remember, you're voting for both the sig and the av. Check people's avatars by clicking on the link above their sigs.

The competition will go on for a week, from tonight (3rd June) til next Tuesday (10th June), when all voting will close.

Prizes are as follows:

1st place: 300 points
2nd place: 200 points
3rd place: 100 points

Okay, now let's get voting!:D

Coupes

Coherent style, nice colours.

Runner ups would be Eets (the av didn't work so much with the sig), and Darklighter (You still need to work on making the font stand out some more).

Holy crap! These sigs are great. I truly am torn apart by a few of them, I can't decide!

I like:

Darkie's
Coupe S's
Z's
Sivy's
and JA's best.

I'm going with Coupe's though. Very cool, original style.

You gonna vote, IS? ^^

Gah, I hate this, all of the sigs/avs are so good, it's too hard to choose. I'm mean I love the movement of Sivy's, Jackal's is great since he made those pictures himself ^^, and Coupes' is just plain stylish and original. I like the transpareny used in AG's too, very impressive and accurate.

Though I have to pick one, so I will choose The_One's. I've seen this sig/av combo many a time. It's very eye-catching, and stands out a lot through the use of colour. The integration of text and images is also very impressive. Plus I'm a LOTR fan too ^_^

leXX, you read my mind. :eek: How disconcerting. :p

I'd have to say Eets. In my opinion, it's where the phrase Simple, yet effective comes into play.

Ah CRAP!!! I'm stuck between Eets and Agen_Terminator.

In all honesty, this comes down to a coin flip.

Heads: Agen
Tails: Eets

Tails. My vote goes to Eets.

Hmm, one vote. Enh, I got a vote, I'm happy with myself. :D

hey guys,

my vote goes for Eets.

I voted for him cause its pretty much the best of the few that ISNT related to StarWars or Matrix.


btw. I've udpated my avatar and signature. i cant replace the one running in the contest ... because well I'm late :p

i was busy lately (even thought its my summer allready) i simply didnt have the time to update it or show off some more photos.

anyways, hope you guys like my new set

first off all the entries were very good. I am always pleased to see so many talented people in these forms. and for my voting:

I would like to first award an honorable mention:
Z Bomber
his sig's and especially his avi have come a long way
since the first one, some guy thing with a cap twirling?
anyhow kudos to Z!
also the more I look at Eets, the more it grows on me.
I guess it would be hard to make.

I like ckcsaber however since most members of these forums
are minors, his sig gives forum members the idea that drinking
and posting are okay:D I will have to inform MADP
'mothers against drunk posting'

a slightly less honorable mention than Z Bombers goes to
obi-wan13 for NOT using and abusing Patrick Stewart:D

now for 3rd, 2nd and 1st.

in 3rd place I place the following contestants

Lost Welshman
Neo Dios
kstar_2
agen_terminator
.:CoupeS:.
The Jackal


in 2nd place (and like 3rd these are all ties)

StarWarsPhreak
Death_Jedi
Midnight Psion
acrylic guitar
(love the lettering, not a fan of the transparency)
and Jedi Apprentice


and now for first place.
first place goes like this.

Sivy B
(for consistantly good avi\sig craftmanship)
Matt-Liell
*not sure how long Matt has been a forum member,
if he is a newbie, then Kudos for the good work!
and if he is not a newbie then kudos for the good work.

last and not least DarkLighter.
(begrudgingly I have to admit that he is
one of if not the best creative avi\sig people
in the Lucas forums community.

Wow Eggplant, I think you just about included everyone in that post, that was pretty good of you:)Though if you want the vote to be counted, you'll have to narrow first place down to just one I'm afraid:(It's so hard to choose, I know, but you can only vote once unfortunately v_v Thank you for mentioning me though, tis much appreciated ^^;

Come on people, vote if you haven't already...please?:(
