Ryguy - The rush of the hunt...*fade*...the fear of the chase
Not bad! It describes the setting of the signature nicely, it fits well. What's also nice about this is that I can think of many ways to incorperate this in the subtext. Good Job! - 8.5/10

Kagemucha - Another falls - another rises. *fades* Life
This one isn't bad. Though, maybe there could've been a *fade* instead of the "-"? That's just my opinion, it might work better with. It describes the signature nicely, and it's not too specific which is a good thing in this case. It leaves the reader's imagination to do it's job. Although, if you had done "Another Falls *fade* Another rises *fade* The Cycle of Life", I could think of one really neat way to incoperate the subtext on there. - 8.5/10

Kugetsu - The original fast food.
Short and to the point, it's pretty humerous as well. The lenth makes it fit nicely on the signature right under "WIS". Though I do wish you had incoperated the "chase" more, as it's emphasized by the wind effect. - 8/10

Icey - Like the wind I run... *fade* The race that determines all
I do like the first part, it fits nicely with the wind effect on the signature. The second part is good too, it fits and it's not too specific. However, you stated "like wind I run", it would be nice if you had put something that tells the reader who "I" is. (The deer or the lion?) - 8/10

This one is really lovely, I love how it's worded. Momentum is a very nic word here, overall just a lovely job! It would look nice on the signature too. - 9/10

Jlt1990 - The hunter..*fade*..and the hunted..
Hmm, this is a little too generic. It's what everyone is expecting, it fits, but it lacks originality and creativity. I could almost classify this as a quote, if it weren't so well used. I also wish you had incorperated the "chase" into the subtext. - 7/10

notinuse - Speed kills
Short and to the point. It also has two meanings, which is nice. It makes you look at the subtext for a while. Nothing much more to say, however. - 8/10

sirclucky - Finally a meal that tastes great AND burns calories.
I like this subtext, and the emphasis on the 'AND'. However, it would be nice if you broke it into smaller pieces, somehow. As in, a fade or a new line in between. Right now, it's too big and bulky to fit on to the signature without looking funny. Other than that though, great job. - 8/10

Benladesh - A single mistake could be fatal
This is kind of plain in my opinion, it doesn't seem as great as the others. I also wish you could incorperate the "chase" part of the signature in there. - 7.5/10

sorry i'm so difficult of a judge...



Team Hugh

Ryguy - The rush of the hunt...*fade*...the fear of the chase
This actually fits really good and looks really nice... it really does capture the picture wholey (<--- is that a word?)... 8.5/10

Kagemucha - Another falls - another rises. *fades* Life
wow, this one is REALLY good... at first i missed the part where it says "life" so it really made no sense... but after the fade, it made more sense... great job... 8/10

Kugetsu - The original fast food.
"WIS The original fast food."
hmmm... i don't really like how that sounds/works out... i understand the punchline, but i don't know, it's missing something... 7.5/10

Icey - Like the wind I run... *fade* The race that determines all
hmmm.... i don't like this one so much mainly because it doesn't make much sense... err, it makes sense, but it doesn't really flow too nicely... i understand what you are trying to get out, i like the effort at making it sophisticated... but you weren't totally successful.... nice try though 7.5/10

seashell2_js - Intensely pursuing...*fade*...with increasing momentum
heh, even though it's not really "artistic", it is really what i enjoy, a real subtext... great job 9/10

Jlt1990 - The hunter..*fade*..and the hunted..
A little cliche-ish... sounds too, cliche-ish, this is too simple and short without much meaning... 7/10

notinuse - Speed kills
lolz... too short without much meaning and depth, yet it actually would be something catchy to put on... at least it's better than "Drug's Kill"... haha jk ... 8/10

sirclucky - Finally a meal that tastes great AND burns calories.
heh.... as what i said with kuge's, this looks REALLY funny and off if you put it on.... "WIS, finally a meal that tastes great and burns calories" WIS \= a meal... it is a little long also, but it has a nice message... 8/10

Benladesh - A single mistake could be fatal
hmmm..... this fits, i like your message... but it seems like it's missing something.... very good though... 8.5/10

Didn't know we could have 2 fades...

SECRET JUDGE!

Quote:First off, lay off the fades, 5/9 of you used a fade. I like fades, but I don’t think this is a signature for them. Good luck throughout the rest of the contest guys!

This is really good. I think you captured the ‘speed’ of the signature, along with the mood. The only thing that doesn’t work is the fade, because it slows it down. 7/10

Kagemucha
Another falls - another rises. *fades* Life

Hmm, not sure how well this fits with the mood of the signature. The signature seems almost cartoony, not poetic like you made your signature. 4/10

Kugetsu
The original fast food.

At first I didn’t think this would work well, but as I picture it, I think it could. It gives a pit of contrast to the intensity of the signature without going deep and poetic, which wouldn’t work. Nice. 8/10

Icey
Like the wind I run... *fade* The race that determines all

Like Kagemucha’s, I think this is too poetic for the signature. I don’t get a peotic feel at all from the signature, but your subtext is drowning in it. I just don’t see it working in any way. 4/10

Intensely pursuing...*fade*...with increasing momentum

I think this one is ok. I don’t like the fade, although it wouldn’t work without it. I think it could have worked better with something like “As the momentum increases, he pursues” or something like that. 5.5/10

Jlt1990
The hunter..*fade*..and the hunted..

This one is ok. It just seems kind of “Yeah…” It’s like you said “The Cheetah and the Gazelle”, except you used different words. Although, since it is a saying, that helps. I’m really on the fence with this one. 6/10

notinuse
Speed kills

Short. Sweet. Fits well with the signature. Good work. 8.5/10


Sirclucky
Finally a meal that tastes great AND burns calories.

Don’t really like this one. I don’t think it works with the intensity of the signature. It actually sounds like a “Lean Cuisine” ad. I do commend you on taking a different approach than everyone else though. 3/10

Benladesh
A single mistake could be fatal

I like this one; it is intense without being poetic, just like the signature. Nice. 7.5/10
