IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! ALL READ!! - DC Forum Badge Vote

[Matt]

Welcome one and all to one of the most exciting developments in the DC Forum for a while.

As many are aware, I recently ran a very special competition for the design of a new "badge" for regular Contest Holders who have held contests that have been ran well, selected a winner from the DC Forum and paid on time.

I must emphasise, this is not something that will be handed out lightly or just randomly to people. I need to see justification as to why you deserve it AND the reference has to come from 3 or more different designers. There will be more conditions over the next 36 hours, but you get the drift.

Anyhows........down to the important stuff

After much chatter and consideration, we sifted through ALL the designs and then suggested 2 or 3 we prefered each. This list came to a total of 6 designs.

We decided that we wanted to really pick 3 for a vote, however, as it happens their was a joint third. Therefore, we made it a vote out of 4.

Here's the entries :

All you need to do is vote for the relevant "Badge" Designer in the poll shown above. Now, CHOOSE CAREFULLY - Once your vote is cast, that's it, no going back, and you'll potentially have to look at that badge for the rest of your life in NamePros

Soooo, let the public vote begin.

Due to demand, and one against , I'm going to leave the thread open until 12.00Noon Saturday 7th October. That gives people a friday night to vote aswell.

Good luck to all 3 of you.

Wow, every one of those designs is superb. Fantastic job to all of the designers for making it this far. I don't want to say in public who I voted for since I don't want to influence anybody's decision, but I can honestly say I was sitting here for literally eight minutes looking at these four images. Remember, people.. Before you vote take into thought that this is like voting for a president! Okay, maybe not as important..

By the way, Matt. Thanks for the great idea of allowing the NamePros community to participate in such a contest!

Won't tell you who I voted for either :p
I agree with MOGBase these are all fantastic and
the decision was definetly a difficult one.
Good luck to all and looking forward to seeing the
winning design displayed by the members

i thinks its between xpressions and ami. i voted for xpressions but ami's design may "fit" better when used?

 

[Matt]

So you 2 havent figured out that who voted for what is public lol

Matt

 

[y2k]

:lol: i am glad i told the truth

They are all very good but I voted for Ami's, it is small, to the point and unimposing.

Good luck to all four of you.

 

[jonainmi]

i voted for Jaynesh, he has a checkmark, and a little dude :P

 

[VirginArt]

They are all very nice. Well done you.

I voted Jaynesh. The logo is small enough to fit in with the rest of the icons. It has the word 'Approved', this tells me they can be trusted. Xpressions is little too long which is why Jaynesh got my vote.

Good luck to you all.

 

[xpressions]

I am actually flattered to be up there with the others. I never managed to edit it...(boo hoo)...Now, I am going to vote for myself, of course, but, I wish the names of the designers weren't on the entries themselves; and could have been held secret til the end of the competition, though they were already seen on the contest forum. Just me thinking out loud. All in all, I still think this is cool! Great job Matt, and ALL!

 

[Virgil]

Why can't I vote?:

You have already voted on this poll

 

[firestorm]

I like um all, but AMI's sticks out to me for some reason.
AMI!

I like Xpressions. Why? Well, what's the point of these badges? Anyone who has been here for any significant amount of time already knows who's a good contest holder and who isn't. These badges are for people who are new to the forum. Those new to holding a contest or designing for one. Xpression's badge is the only one, in my opinion, that makes any sense to use. Someone new can look at that and clearly and quickly understand its meaning and purpose. Those who have it are an "approved contest holder". There's no confusion there. Now if I were to look at any of the other badges (from a newbie's point of view) and all I see is "contest holder" or "approved ch" I will either 1) not have a clue what that means, or 2) think to myself "a contest holder...wow, no kidding". Those say nothing to the fact that the person with the badge has been selected as someone of high regard. I personally feel like Xpression's design is the only suitable one.

i voted for Jaynesh, he has a checkmark, and a little dude :P

Spot on. hahah.

Go Jaynesh! you can do it! w00t w00t.

 

[antman]

A :tu: to the four entries! So hard to pick :p

antman casts his vote.

 

[QuickGold]

shame on me.. voted for myself :D
so, the winner shall be the one who have most staff's vote+member's vote?

 

[-Rasmus-]

I voted for xpressions. I like his badge's font and the fact that it has everything spelled out (clearly says that the person has been approved by the community, plus not all ppl know what CH means).

 

[Matt]

The winner will be the one with the most PUBLIC votes
