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!

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.

[Eww]

Grats everyone!

Lol. I made mine really quick. I forgot it was due Monday o:
Anyway, best of luck to all you guys (:

[Blaqheartedstar]

wow top three? thanks.
My quote is from the tv show dexter.

venti-anemoi is kicking my ass. Amazing icon.

[moorepocket]

well, at least i made the top 3. Even though, it wasn't all good.

It's so nice to see a harry potter quote.

[Blaqheartedstar]

who did a harry potter one?

edit:
dude we are on round 4, not 3. would change it but I'm a contestant so editing that post wouldn't be fair... or seem fair.

[manny-the-dino]

^Woops, I knew I would mess up somewhere. I just used last week's post & edited it with the icons & stuff.

It is now fixed.

YEAUH SOMEONE RECOGNIZES IT!! :D Mine is from the first HP book (I think?), said by Dumbledore.

I love Amanda's (yes, I really really do - way to be unique), and I thought Poonani's wasn't half-bad either. The dots on the bottom are rather random, though.

[moorepocket]

^ i remember that in the movie.

yeah it looked pretty cool, not a good choice of colors but i liked the way it was formated.
Thanks.

I never seem to agree with the judges decisions

I would not have kicked Pooonani out. The icon's fine. Why can't icons be simple or plain?

[Relentless]

^ Well, it's not just one judge that eliminates. It is a decision based on all 5 judges. Besides, there has to be one person out of the round, and there's nothing we can do, no matter how good or bad the icon is. It's just whoever surpasses others and it's part of the process.

[Blaqheartedstar]

no offense to vogueXdirge
if i had to choose his icon would of been the one to be kicked out.
Pooonani's Olivia's is cleaner and easier to read even if the text is a tad bright.
^ sounds so gross using the username

I know that there's more than one judge. I should have put judges'. And I understand the process of elimination. I'm just saying I disagree with whoever voted Olivia out.

No offence taken!
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and besides this is just an icon making contest.

I very much agree, but hey, whatever. Judges have their own opinions.
BUUUUT, yes, definitely, venti-anemoi's got skill. I really like your icon.
