We've already demonstrated the three most popular banners from the banner competition on the forum (screenshots below) and now is the time to select which one we should use permanently. The voting will be open until Tuesday, June 15th. These screenshots do not represent the finished banners, work will be done to optimize and improve them before we use them. Just vote on the design. Philosoraptor's banner: sanesavonian's banner: TheIslander's banner:

I definitely have to go with The Islander's banner. It is fresh looking, has bright colors, and looks like a lot more effort went into making it, than the other banners. The Islander looks like s/he ( sorry, not sure which ) actually did more than taking a picture of the moon, and laying text on top of it. S/he actually drew a cool design. And that is why I voted her him/her.

I like TheIslander's one, but I don't think it suits what SPOTM is about.

I'm pretty sure he's saying the cutsie / silly sheep and hot air balloons contradicts the fact that we are an intellectual community. No, we're not entirely serious, but it's not a 3rd grade playpen in here.
This thread is for voting, not "You're not voting for the same one as me. You're wrong. Let's argue about it."

Thank you, Cortney, saving me a long winded post.

I have done a rough job to make it transparent. And as I said, the banners will be improved before use. Please, just vote on the designs.

No, I still don't like it that much. The non-transparency wasn't the sole reason I didn't vote on it.

The Islander looks like s/he ( sorry, not sure which ) actually did more than taking a picture of the moon, and laying text on top of it. S/he actually drew a cool design. And that is why I voted her him/her. A banner doesn't need to be complicated nor does it need to involve hard work to be beautiful. I think that, although The Islander's banner is incredibly well done, one of those "with less effort" actually gives more impact to newcomers. I'm talking about the one from Philosoraptor. For some reason sanesavonian's banner seems too heavy and to be of lesser impact. This thread is for voting, not "You're not voting for the same one as me. You're wrong. Let's argue about it." But these discussions are amazingly good places for undecided voters to be enlightened of which banner they think is better. And that is why I also think the option to retract votes should be enabled until the end of the voting.

I voted on Philosoraptor's banner, But I would like that particular one better if it said "Welcome to our Eweniverse" Please, no. Ewes are too Dan Brown.

You can retract votes on polls, but that has to be set beforehand. No one (not even admins) can edit polls.

Note to people: the screenshot of my banner isn't the latest one - I tweaked it a bit yesterday to make the glow less obnoxious, because the banner was originally not designed for a black background. radicallyBlue was nice enough to make a new screenshot - this is the current state it's in, not the one provided in the first post.

Well, that was the #1 complaint on the discussion thread, so I just figured it was a worthy change to make.
