Our Contestants
moorepocket


vogueXdirge


Pooonani


venti-anemoi


Blaqheartedstar




Results
Top 3:
1. venti-anemoi - The quote goes well with the background and the overall feeling the icon portrays. Great usage of different fonts; they emphasize what needs to be emphasized in a very appropriate way. It's also color coordinated & has a smooth feel to it.

2. Blaqheartedstar - It's unique in itself since it was the only animated icon. It's bold and a bit creepy with the blood-stains in the background. The color tones mix extremely well. And the text placement on the icon is really good.

3. moorepocket - Again, good use of different fonts. The letters come too close to the edge and look a bit awkward. The backdrop and the quote don't really go together.


Bottom 2:
1. vogueXdirge - There is something about the background that throws off the icon as a whole. Perhaps it's a little too messy. It seems like too many textures were used. Also the fonts seem a bit random.

2. Pooonani - The colors clash really bad. A better font choice could have happened as well. It's really basic but really comes off as low quality. It didn't really have an impact either.


Sorry but you're out...
Pooonani. I think the colors you choose are what made you get eliminated. Maybe a different shade of green would have been better. It's also a bit plain compared ot the rest. Sorry. Thank you for participating though! flowers.gif

I'm slightly surprised with who you decided to kick out. I personally would have put Pooonani in third behind Amanda and venti-anemoi. Maybe it's just the color settings on my screen, but the colors don't look clashy to me at all.

Anyway, good luck to everyone in the next round. thumbsup.gif
