Mesonak Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Entry 1: Off-center avatar is a deal breaker, and the whole thing is just too... grey to seem fitting for Tohu. I do like the effect, though.Entry 2: The avatar is far too bland; I understand what he was going for but the gears should have either been painted or digitally altered to be gold (and actually use the proper gears but whatever). Love the banner, though.Entry 3: I don't think it's terribly bad, but that Tohu head model, while cool, looks very... strange. I'm not really sure what happened to it but it's decently off-putting and for that reason I'm not a fan.Entry 4: Nice, simple, to the point. The avatar, I feel, should've had a bit more effort put into it to match the banner and it probably would've gotten my vote. As it stands, though... good, but not excellent.Entry 5: Quite good; the banner is fantastic, and the avatar's pretty good as well (although I definitely prefer the banner). My only problem is that the actual image of Hapori Tohu isn't displayed at all except in the avatar (where it's a silhouette) and the gears in the banner are black instead of gold. As it stands, though, pretty good.Entry 6: ....................2sinister4me All in all, I went with #5, with #4 coming in 2nd and #2 coming in third. Good luck to everybody. -Mesonak Edited April 4, 2014 by Mesonak 1 The Three Virtues YouTube Channel ----- ----- Check it out for laughs, discussion, and more.

I'm not really sure what happened to it but it's decently off-putting and for that reason I'm not a fan. It's actually hand drawn, and not a model. I'm glad that I apparently did good enough with it for it to be mistaken for a 3D model, though. Edited April 4, 2014 by XONAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if asymmetry isn't your thing, that's fine. But I though it looked pretty good.

fishers64 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Voted for #6. Least objectionable, although once again nobody will vote for it. #2 will probably win despite the lack of gold.

Ehksidian Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I voted 2, though if the gears were somehow made gold, it'd be even better. Steam name: Ehksidian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Dancing Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah, I couldn't pull myself off of the 2 bandwagon. It's just so charming and awesome. This is a signature that describes me as a person. Lazy, dry, and overall just a procra... *insert placeholder signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBK Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm also going for #2; it perfectly conforms to the "LEGO-ness" of BZP, and it's just uber creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Puppeteer Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Could've gone with number five, but the profile was a pretty general shape and I couldn't quite figure out what some of the blobs in the sig were. Number two did a great job of expressing the spirit of the site in a pretty purist way (I hope), and the youtube thingy is fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarutoe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I would have voted for entry 6 if Mata Nui had been behind his face. Mantax can win connect four in three moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasggbfrfesv Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It was between 1 and 3. I chose 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) None of these are really super appealing. I like the avatar of number 4 but the banner of number 2. Can I vote that way instead? No? Well, then #2 gets my vote. Avatar is meh, but the banner contains some helpful links in a visually appealing manner. Although I would prefer that it include links to the rules and Reference Desk as well, but whatever.

Also can't beat hexagonal background. -MTDon't get me wrong, I like the kanohi on number one, but the avatar is off-center from its hexagon background, and would pretty much look like a grey blotch when reduced to avatar size, as opposed to, say, number three.
