Contest is closed! Winners and credits will be decided and sent within the next day or two

Re: Red Fraction banner designing contest! 300K credit prize pot!

Here's how this will go.

All 4 judges will pick their personal winners, and post what they wish to be used on the website. 1st, 2nd, etc places will be awarded a certain amount of points, by each judge, and after all 4 judges have voted, we will combine the total points that each judge gave each person.

Example:
First Place: 4 points
Second Place: 3 points
Third Place: 2 points
Fourth Place: 1 point

We can choose as many banners as we like from any of the people who submitted. It doesn't have to be limited to 2.

Comments: Spenner's banners simply blew me away. All of them are very good, and as you can see, I want to use almost all of them. We thought about having a logo designing contest after this one, since you started putting a logo on your banners. The one that looked like an R, I didn't like. But the circular one that appears in the middle banner (3rd one) looks perfect. Personally, I want to use that logo as the site's official logo. If you could, please remove the R logo in the second banner and replace it with the circular one.

1st Place: Spenner
As a fellow graphic designer, his concepts and designs were the best out of every single submission by far.

My personal favourite from him and my top banner pick

2nd Place: Silvuh
His minimalistic banners were great. Concepts were lacking but his designs were visually pleasing.

My personal favourite from him

3rd Place: omgfail
The only person to use typography rather effectively. If he only changed the text from grey to black, he'd've won 2nd place in my vote, topping Silvuh.

My personal favourite from him

4th Place: Detrimentalist / NeoMasterPie
Strong typography use and concepts but weak background integration and overall visual appeal which was his downside.

My personal favourite from him

Comments: Spenner really outdid the competition with his submissions. I loved nearly all of them despite having a few things here and there I didn't like. Major props to you, first place is well deserved.

WXH: Although you only submitted 2, each being kinda the same, the one I chose was really fitting for us and basically it really, imo, what we wanted. So second place goes to you, sir.

Evnoir: Really dug the banner you submitted, although you went outside of the red scheme, the visual interest and logo of the banner really stuck to me. So third place goes to you.

Supermousie: That grunge banner was really awesome. I was feeling it, although, it wasn't as strong as the previous placed submissions but, it really won most of the judges over and for that, 4th place goes to you my friend.

Re: Red Fraction banner designing contest! 300K credit prize pot!

So, I'm picking my banners right now, and I have a "surprise" for you guys:


After talking with Rebirth, I'll pick some extra banners that have great potential in my honest opinion, but didn't get any vote, and I'll give 10k for every chosen banner. It may be possible that we ask for some changes, but it's the only way I found to make it up to you guys. If we are using your work, you should be compensated. And you will.


Edit: Here are my votes:


1st Place: Professor Raine



Comment: This one was, by far, my favorite. I'm a personal fan of stripes, and this image used them so nicely, along with the colors and font, that I had to pick it for first place. Congratulations.

2nd Place: Spenner




Comment: It's undeniable that you have skills, Spenner. Your submissions showed a great level of quality in colors, effects, yet they were so simple. I'm picking these two because they caught the greatest part of my attention among your submissions. And as a bonus, a logo for the site deserves respect. Congratulations.

3rd Place: WolfXHunter



Comment: As I said in my review notes, I really dig fancy stuff. The way you pulled the effects for the font, along with the background, is really great, honestly. Congratulations.

4th Place: Kraezymann




Comment: The original blue image was already great, especially the background. I personally the font choice was generic, however, the blurring effect was a great add to it. And I do realize the rules said "Red is not mandatory", but Evnoir's spin boosted its quality, personally. Congratulations.

Re: Red Fraction banner designing contest! 300K credit prize pot!

Using the points system I posted earlier, here is what everybody ended up with:


Spenner: 15
WolfXHunter: 5
supermousie: 4
Professor Raine: 4
Silvuh: 3
Evnoir: 3
Kraezymann: 3
omgfail: 2
NeoMasterPie: 1

Now, we will all decide exactly what banners we will use with the website. Results will likely be posted within a day

Re: Red Fraction banner designing contest! 300K credit prize pot!

So what happens to people with tied points?
You guise only has 305,000 credits.

Also, **** you Spenner! ;D

edit: lol where's my banner that you guys liked best?

[Rebirth0]

Re: Red Fraction banner designing contest! 300K credit prize pot!

We might do an equal split between the two tied people for 3rd. It will depend on what we actually use

Nice job everyone, I like variety and there was plenty of that seen in the submissions. That's a fine set of banners to choose from.
