I stand corrected. I just assumed it was a typo, and DDD didn’t know what he was doing. :to:

I just always assume whatever works out better for me. Heheh!

I have a feeling there will be several no-shows, but that’s to be expected with every battle.

hey omni, I do like your entry very much but, does the symbol on top of the logotype have any meaning? or purpose?

well the deadline looms closer and there are many folks that do not have ther entries in. The voting begins tomorrow so have all of your entries in tonight. I still have a couple of entries with no screen name. I will not add those so be warned.

All of the entries are unique and nice. So this should make for an interesting outcome. Good luck to all of you.

shriek, notbeinguseful (contrary to his namesake) hit the nail on the head. The symbol is meant to mimic the stamp Kanji calligraphers place on their pieces as a signature. Plus, it brings in a bit of an oriental pattern influence.

Oh yeah, and it’s a ‘G’. 😉 I find it helps to read the name in a cheesey Japanese sensei voice. Heheh.

I’m sorry DDD for my filesize issue.  
I’ve been super busy lately, and just got back from a trip, so I resent the email, with the final and correct logo.

Thanks

Meep – not only can names be associated to comps (which makes sense in a battle), but you can view poll results before voting. I have a feeling the results are just going to snowball. We shall see, I guess!

well, good job to everyone specially to DDD since he had all the coordinating work.

Sorry to insist, DDD, but my nick is wrongly spelled again (on the pool). It is S H R I E K, not shrek and not shreik but: **shriek**. 😛
