Round Note: I'm not too impressed this round, actually. In my opinion there were a couple of good ones, the rest were fairly average, or below that. The thing is, the signature doesn't actually contain any notes, just a treble cleff and a score. For those of you who have based your subtexts around actual music, or sound, I think you could've aimed for something else, because I don't believe that any actual music is represented in the signature (of course, others... many, in fact, may see this differently - so I will try and take that point of view when juding). What's represented in the signature could be a pause, or it could be someone trying to write music with a lack of inspiration, thus the lack of notes. But there is no actual music on the score... Yeah.

Team Hugh:

Benladesh – a serenade for the soul
Look at the round note. Ignoring that, this is a very nice, smooth subtext. Serenade and soul compliment each other well. Good job with the language and choice of words Smile The mood of your subtext fits well with the mood of the signature (and the font used for 'wis'). Perhaps a tiny bit long, but it should work alright. Score: 7/10

notinuse - Sheet music
Sheet music... Not exactly a full sheet, just a score, but it could be part of a sheet, I suppose. That was a good idea, thinking outside the box, or in this case, score. However, I find this subtext slightly bland. I don't think it really fits in well with the style of the signature (it's like BAM! direct, no fancy language or anything, straight to the point and the signature is slightly more flowing - note the font used for 'wis' - and I don't think they fit too well together). However, it is short and seeing as there's not too much space on the signature, that's a good thing. Score: 6/10

Ryguy – The Sound of Sweet Simplicity
I would say read the round note... but your subtext is slightly different Toungue First off, the alliteration worked brilliantly. I like that you've left it sort of ambiguous, as well. 'Sweet Simplicity' could be silence, or it could be something else. I think that perhaps 'Sweet Simplicity' works better than 'Silence' would. In a way, it has slightly more depth. Don't particularly like ending on a negative note, but your subtext IS a bit long for the space provided. Perhaps you should have split it into two lines. Score: 7.5/10

sirclucky - Play on... *fade* play on...
Once again, see the round note. The style of your subtext fits in well with the signature. However, I'm not too sure that the fade works too well. Perhaps putting them on seperate lines would work better? Length is good though. Score: 6/10

Team Laurie:

Kagemucha – The silence of another gone
This is a fairly good one although, at the first glance, 'another gone' doesn't fit in too well. However, upon closer inspection it does fit. It could be something deep, like a friend has gone, or someone has died, and the person is not able to write any music for that because they are so sad... Still, people aren't exactly going to read a subtext then think about it. Mood works preeetty well with the actual siganture. However, you might want to watch your length a tiny bit Wink I mean, yes, it will fit, but it might go right up to the edges. Score: 7/10

Jlt1990 – Simply Symphonic
... Round note (not as much as others, though). Alliteration, good, it works very nicely. It's short and fits, good. Style fits with the signature, so, nice work Smile Score: 7.5/10

seashell_js – harmonies of black and white
This one I like. It's a teensy bit long, but I still like it Toungue You've gone for a different approach which is good. All in all, I think it fits in very well with the signature. Good job Smile Score: 8/10


Ooooooooh, joke entry (even though it's too late, and I'm a judge):

Note Eater.

9/10

notinuse - Sheet music

8/10

Ryguy - The Sound of Sweet Simplicity
The Sound of a PERFECT SCORE!
10/10

sirclucky - Play on... *fade* play on...
eh, cute... but a little repetitive Toungue... but seriously, it's nice, but it needs a little more umph, but not Kiko Oomph...
8/10

Team Laurie:

Kagemucha - The silence of another gone
hmmm.... i don't know, i don't think that really fits the tone of the picture... i see how you are getting at no notes means no more person... but it someone would have to concentrate too hard on this one...
8.5/10

Jlt1990 - Simply Symphonic
alliteration w00t.... short sweet and "Simply Symphonic"
9/10

seashell2_js - harmonies of black and white
i don't know.... i'm just not really feeling this one... it just really doesn't feel like a good fit.... if i heard it, i'd say, oh, ok....
7.5/10

Round Note: There really aren't any notes on there, it's really blank. So the music ones wouldn't work as well. Also, even though there are two lines for subtext, I was hoping to keep the subtexts shorter than the majority of the ones here.

Team Hugh:

Benladesh - a serenade for the soul
Refer to round notes, other than that though, the wording is nice. It has the dreamy hazy quality that the signature itself has. Other than that, it doesn't really fit the signature as much as the other subtexts do. The subtext might also be a little too long. - 7/10

notinuse - Sheet music
It's short, that's a plus. It seems a little too boring here, though. Even though it said sheet music, it's a blank sheet. So perhaps you could've said "Unwritten Music" or something like that? - 7/10

Ryguy - The Sound of Sweet Simplicity
Lots of S's, catchy. Refer to round note, it doesn't apply to this one as much though. Also, this one's probably too long, although I do like the simplicity part. - 8/10

sirclucky - Play on... *fade* play on...
I'm not exactly sure how the fade works here. If it's as you currently wrote, Play on... would eventually fade into play on..., but you wouldn't see any difference except from the capital P to the lowercase one. o_o Refer to round notes. It's short, that's a plus though. - 7.5/10



Team Laurie:

Kagemucha - The silence of another gone
I'm not exactly sure what "another gone" is supposed to represent, it does sound nice, but it doesn't entirely fit. However, I will give you huge props for including "silence" into the signature. As, there aren't any notes. Though it might be a little to long. - 8.5/10

Jlt1990 - Simply Symphonic
I like this one, it's simple, short, and fits with the signature. The round note also applies here, but not quite as much as the other ones. The two S's also make it catchy. - 9/10

seashell2_js - harmonies of black and white
I like this one also. The harmonies doesn't nessisarily have to relate to music, and you've taken a different view on the signature. It might be a little too long, but other than that, good job! - 9/10
o_O Why am I always the one who gets copied? :cry: I love my joke entries (inspired by my brother XD).
