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

Darkie's
Looks awesome and very well done.
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).
Got to be Neo's for me - that dog is just too funny :D
:eek: :eek: :eek:
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.
I vote for Z, now i gotta go take a pee.
Im serious i do :)
Remember people..I have Transperency!!!:D
i like them all, but there can be only one and for me its between coupe and darky, both are great
they're both really professional jobs, its very close.
i' m going to go for coupe cause that worn look is very sexay :)
mine shall be featured next competition ^_^
this is the one im entering.
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 ^_^

*Encourages more people to vote*
:D
All it takes is a simple post, that's it ^^
i really like thejackal's, but coupe's is just a master with layers and everything that is graphic design, he get's my vote.
AcrylicGuitar for me. I think its the best out off them all. its ..different..in agood way. I think its cool. AcrylicGuitar gets my vote!:D
:thumbsup:
I vote for Darky! It looks cool.:)
I vote for Darkys but Coupes was really close!
Since no one else is voting for me, I will violate the rules and vote for myself.
I will violate the rules a second time and vote twice. This time, my vote goes towards Darky. Yay for british people!
Well, I have to go with Darky.
It's just too cool.
Very, very close second is CoupeS. :)
Eets by far :D
then matt-liel.
I vote for Darky... followed by
2. KStar
3. Coupe
4. Sivy
5. ZBomber
coupes, not one doubt !!! heґs just a mean man who knows very well what hes doin with his paint program. :thumbsup:
trully a graphic designer ;)
My vote goes to Eets. Very, very profesional, and that glass button effect is not easy to do, trust me, I know.
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
DAMN!! I'm original...I'd of won that catagory...:( Ain't nobody else had a LoK series...
ummmm this is where i give out a hell of a WTF
Darky I donated 25 points to you for my one remember in that other threed how come mine wasnt in there?
And i vote for CoupeS
o.O You sure? I never got the donation, I'm sure. Very strange. Well, I'll assume you did, and add you in ^^ Sorry for the misunderstanding, there's a lot of combos to keep track of, heh.
Current totals:
Darklighter - 9
Eets - 6
CoupeS - 6
ZBomber - 1
AcrylicGuitar - 1
NeoDios - 1
The_One - 1
TheJackal - 1
obi-wan13 - 1
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?:(
Well, many cool sigs I miss cybernetics sig here but anyways...don't know if voting is still allowed. I vote for Darklighters Sig because it's realy fine animй!
Yep!
there can be only one!
well then it's Darklighter
but all who entered were top notch.
now I unbedgrudge you Darky,
teach me the secretes of the 3D lettering!:D
eggy's official only vote once Darklighter.
but they are so :cool:
I vote the Darkstuff, althoguh I was tring to decide between him and Eets. Looks like Mr. Purple got the vote! ^_^
my vote goes to TheJackal, cause i love concept art, and the pic is nice.

I vote for AG's, i just like the transparentcy, wish i could get rid of the white round mine.

Well the competition has already been going for a while, so you can't enter it at this moment. You'll have to wait for the next contest, which should take place soonish after this one ^^
k...maybe by then I can afford a sig pic :)
