June Banner Contest - Pick Your Winners

[Jeric 46,857]

I know I through some for a loop with a oddly nebulous theme. Thanks for all that submitted both banners for Episode 100 and the theme itself. For those that forget we were looking for moments from episodes or banners specific to episodes. We did accept submissions that had symbolic takes on this as well. Some even tried to take on a a macro level look at things.

Picked entries #1, 5, and 9.

 

#1 is a stroke of genius. Look at the word game. Not only does it spell out "MLP 100," but it also spells out "MLP." The "Forums" is black and on the bowl of the "P" to separate it without being too distracting.

 

#5 has that illusion of depth. In front is Twilicorn and "MLP Forums," an the background is all the memories resulting in Twilight's ascension. It's a tribute to Magical Mystery Cure and her growth. The one suggestion I have here is to put the Twilicorn perfectly in between "MLP" and "Forums." Currently, there's a lot of negative space to the left, but not to the right. Nudging either "MLP" to the right or Twilight to the left could help balance the composition.

 

#9 is the cleanest and captures Chrysalis's villainy, both in her eyes and the wordmark. Personally, I would leave out the background eyes to focus more emphasis on the mind games the typeface and color play on the audience.

Entry 4. It highlights everything in season 5 thus far and the lighting really enhances it.

1, 3 and 6:

 

entry 1 has the cool writing within writing, using text as words which I think looks cool

 

entry 3 has a cute Disco thing

 

entry 6 is my own creation so I voted for it  

[Kivil 1,721]

When is the voting done? I would really like to know.

 

3, because it is my own!

 

4, because they used the roots of the Golden Oak Library!

 

8, why not? It looks so awesome!!!

Kinda sad that people won't realize how mine would contrast with the forum's background. :l

which one are you talking about?

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

The 8th. The idea was to take advantage from the forum's nocturnal background by adding only a moon and a few details like Twi and Luna.

Nice, it's nice and subtle I think and looks different.

It's a nice one, it just doesn't go with the forums to me

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

oh ok fair enough

 

was attempting to make something a bit diffrent and left-field

 

seems I'm last in the running pretty much  guess I thought people would think it was cool.

 

oh well, never mind

Entry 4 just makes me feel like it's the right style for MLP Forums~

 

It's in the style of the banners that usually go up

 

I'm sure it's going to win ^^
