No offense, but sigs should NEVER be judged based on just that. The art itself should ALWAYS be main priority, and #8 very much lacks it.

Well, personally I think it lacks comedic value as well (Seriously? I have no idea why you guys think it's funny.) so yeah, if I were to decide, it'd be losing to all the other sigs. And I'd bet that would be the case as well if we had judges.

We all know they're never coming back but hey, there's always a chance that SOTW would be quit altogether, and right now it seems like the best option to me.


You may say that originality has nothing to do with way people look at sigs but that's not true. That sig tells a story and at the same time it looks good.

It may not be your average sig but that doesn't mean that it can't win a sotw competition XD. There wasn't a rule this week that said you could only enter 'normal' sigs. :P

I didn't say originality is unimportant, I said you're judging with the wrong priorities. Frankly, #8 looks like it was drawn on MS Paint in 5 minutes (Too bad it's animated so it's probably not true), and on my standards it definitely does not look good. And you think that deserves a victory? Well, I wouldn't make you a SOTW judge.

I don't see why it should matter if someone votes for 8. It's the only one with animation. Someone took the time to make the frames and think of a storyline to it. I personally didn't find it all that funny on account that it made no sense whatsoever, but there's no need to put someone down for wanting it to win.

At least #8 is something different. It's nice to see something that isn't a distorted photo of master cheif with somet text that says 'da ch33f'. #8 isn't gonna win but at least it's adding some competition.

Alright then.

For the next week, I'll draw a stick figure on MS Paint and make it say something funny.

I'll assume you'll vote for it because it's "different".

Well no because that'd be the same thing two weeks running. I'd leave it a few weeks first, and FYI he used GIMP.

Okay. Remind me when you're ready to vote for stick figures again and I'll make a sig, and if it matters to you, I can use Photoshop instead.

I agree with Slimppu on this one. #8 made me raise an eyebrow, and nothing more.

Just about every signature can tell a story, if done properly.

Careful though, if the stick figures are poorly drawn you may get DQ'd.

Quote:
# Signatures which are "effortless in design" or have been entered "jokingly" will be disqualified.
Aspects which may constitute disqualification are lack of detail, a lack of any background, a "text-only" signature or poorly drawn stick figures.
Signatures made by those with less experience, as well as simple or humorous signatures, as always, *are* allowed if we can see you've put effort into it.
