SOTW 61 - Technology - Voting Thread

Voted. Thanks For All The Entires

 

Voted for sig 1 might of voted for sig 2 but had to reload the page a couple of times before it was viewable. Agree with essential don't see what sig 7 has to do with technology and I'm surprised it's winning.

 

You don't think a camera is technology?

 

The focus of the sig seemed more on the chick holding the camera than the camera. Didn't mean to single out sig 7, as I think sig 3 is more a terminator or Summer Glau themed and sig 5 is more a fantasy, game themed sig, but probably did just because it was mention before and winning. These all great sigs and far better than anything I could do and hope this post hasn't ruffled too many feathers.

 

I have to agree with Essential here. The fact is that with any SOTW contest past or present, as long as your entry contains something vaguely related to the theme, it's deemed acceptable, and will almost guarantee votes if it contains an attractive lady. Personally I always vote for the sig that I think looks the nicest, but also represents the theme the best. Out of all the sigs here I've gone for number 1. Despite the fact it's oversized, at least it makes sense given the theme choice.

 

I agree with Woody,

 

voted!

 

I think changes in some rules need to be made, I personally think that the theme and or SOTW should be in the sig, that way we know for certain if its copied from another site...not saying anyone here has. . . *cough*

 

BTW, I apologise to whoever made sig seven as my previous post looks like a bit of a direct attack. I can assure you it wasn't and was merely a general observation. I do wonder if there's any point in having themes at all though, plus we might get more entrants if we scratched them.

 

well #1 is now fixed, i'm certain it was merely an oversight in the final stages as opposed to a malicious attempt to gain extra pixels given that it's from one of the boards longer-standing and more repsected members of the CB

as for the themes, it's very difficult to grade sigs on how relevant they are to the theme, bearing in mind the same rules have to apply to all sigs (which could vary wildly) and from week to week, so how relevant a sig is to technology this week has to somehow directly correlate with how relevant a sig is to, say, Science, next week.

i don't really have a problem allowing ANY sig into the contest, relevant or not, the real power lies with the voter; if you don't think it's relevant enough, don't vote for it. once we start disallowing some people but not others it's just gonna cause participants to dwindle and people to become disillusioned if they're sigs are continually refused.


p.s. i voted for #4, not the best executed sig, but by far the most creative!

 

A LOT of votes this time around! Wow! :shock:

I voted for #6 in the end, I just like it the best all around; eg. effects, border, lighting.

I would have done the text a little differently, but it's still great imo! :thumbs:

 

since my contribution didn't get a single vote I didn't vote for anyone else either....



no just kidding I sort of imagined mine wouldn't get voted for! the real reason I didn't vote was that I just couldn't decide!

 

Yours is a great sig, I think it fell down on the fact that it does not appear to be related to the theme ( not a dig, just an opinion)

 

Don't take this the wrong way TheOne, but I think it might just be the image quality that went against you. It's a great idea for a sig and well executed, but it looks a little fuzzy. I don't know if something went wrong when you saved it (it's happened to me before) or if it was just LQ source material.:2cent:

 

winner is.... HELIUM again!!! but only just this time, don't think we've had one that close for a while.

full results going up now

 

don't you know what's under her skin

not sure what you mean by bad image quality, do you mean the image of Cameron (Summer Glau) within the circle, cause that were meant to be in bad quality since it was intended to look like it was taken from an securitycameraclip, and the whole pic is meant to be the view of a chasing "Terminator"... guess that was a bad idea...

sources:



well nevermind I almost didn't send it in cause I couldn't think of anything else!

 

In that case I apologise then One because I didn't realise that the zoomed in Summer pic was supposed to look like a security camera view. It went straight over my head. Perhaps the sig was too clever for its own good.
