Wow I really didnt expect to win

Hah first win in forever...Thank Everyone

And wow this week was rough...they all look so bland and its hard to tell because of the black and white. But I voted for 1

Congratz Tj, that's a really nice popout signature! =D>

For this week, I voted for #3, looks really nice.

I voted for number one, overall looks best- especially in black and white.

Don't get me wrong, the others are good too but there's just little things that made me not vote for them.

2: Has way too much contrast for my liking. Also the text at the bottom is very difficult to read and takes away from the focal point of the signature. I can make out what appears to be day on the right but the left is just illegible for me. Another thing I didn't like is the white lines in the center, not sure what they were supposed to be.

3: After seeing the color version, the black and white version just doesn't do justice for the signature. The blood splatter is hard to figure out its a blood splatter in the B&W (had I not seen it in color I'd think it was there for no reason). It also looks like you use the same wireframe C4D's repeatedly. They look nice but try some different ones, there's lots more that you can use.

4: Looks awesome but I don't like the scan lines much in this one. I would've held off on them personally.

Overall there were some great entries this week, and Ill hopefully be making signatures again soon so I can start entering. I have to use Gimp though as the computer I have access to can't run PS CS4.

Hopefully my feedback wasn't too harsh, I was trying to give some thoughts for improvement.

Congratz on ur win tj, I voted for #3 also =]

Very nice sig TJ, you really deserved that win.

To me #4 stuck out has the best. It looks the most like it was made to be black and white. I disagree with Al3x about the scan lines, I think they suited this one well. But that's just me

Chief, perhaps you could say the theme in either the title of the voting thread or before you list the entries? I don't always look at the entries threads so I don't always know what the theme is, but I almost always vote. I'm sure there are others here who would benefit from this also.

This was a very close week I would have to say #4 because of how nicely it flows and how it is simple yet unique.

That's a good idea, thanks. I'll definitely include theme information in future.

Black and white was painful to look at

But I thought that #4 looked the coolest. I like the design mostly

Haha, that text says "Taking Back Sunday" and I didn't put it there, it was on the stock to begin with XD.

I voted for #1, all of them are really nice though.

I can make out the taking now so I'm assuming back is behind the person. What are the white lines though, or are they just an abstract thing?

the stock quality for #2 is so bad. it's all pixelated.

voted for #1
