I never knew choir was a verb o_o

Round Note: Meep. This sig has a lot of ways to work it. D:

Pixalation - Let the angels choir
To their hearts' desire
I don't see this as a very heavenly sort of sig. It looks surreal and stuff yes, but I don't see it relating to that sort of subject. Therefore, I don't think your subtext fits too well. The rhyming is nice. Choir is a verb? I guess.
7/10

Benladesh - Nature, a heaven on earth
I like this one. While the sig isn't specifically nature itself, WIS played with the letters to create the impression that it could be. Therefore, you utilized that idea in your subtext. D: Mmhmm.
9/10

Krycsm - Light and life
This seemed too short and too bland.
6.5/10

theonlysaneone - (top right) Waves of grass
(bottom right) Fields of green
This interpretation is like Ben's. I think you could've balanced the subtext itself out better in placing the lines. This subtext itself is very straightforward, which is a kind of "bleh" to me.
8/10

sexysilver - Let it embrace you
I don't feel this fits very well. I can't see this going along with the sig itself, especially because the word "Harmony" is nearly impossible to read, possibly making the sig seem like "What the heck?" :S
6/10

Forte - Top Left: On the wings of doves...
Bottom right: ...on the wings of angels...
Whoa there. I (this can't be happening again?!) see where you're going with this. Because there's silhouettes of some birds there. Right there. Mmhmm. I don't have much to say about this besides that.
8.5/10

francineh - *Fades in* Above the word Harmony - In a tranquil glade...
DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD HARMONY ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER - thrives.
Heh, I like how you worked the fades. This is a very nice subtext. The text incorporates the signature itself and reflects it. Not much else to say about this either.
9.5/10

My picks: krycsm, sexysilver

sexysilver Wrote:I never knew choir was a verb o_o

You learn something new every day.
I was going more along the lines of the word harmony rather than the image in the signature, to me, it looks more like a lot of green, in various shades, brushed, I didn't even notice the bird images within it. Oh, and I see some e's at the top of the signature too. And harmony to me is heaven, so I was making that link, with the peace.

I don't like abstract and sureal as much, WIS.

Round 5



Round Notes: Although some judges might like interperating this signature, I would generally leave it vague, as in, not relating to nature, grass, etc. etc. I'm quite surprised that nobody related the doves to Peace, however.

Pixalation - Let the angels choir
To their hearts' desire
I dont really see where you're going with this, really. I think you based this subtext a little too much around the word "harmony". Although, it sorta has the feel of the signature and the doves give a sort of heavenly feel. - 7/10

Benladesh - Nature, a heaven on earth
The letters on the left could be interperated as nature/whatever, although nature isn't -as- bad as a word to use as more specific things. (Vines, trees, etc.) I do like the wording of this, however. - 8/10

Krycsm - Light and life
Although I see where you're going with this, and it is really, kind of neat. (With the light being the white and life being the green swirls) It still feels too short and boring for the signature. - 6.5/10

theonlysaneone - (top right) Waves of grass
(bottom right) Fields of green
I dont like how specific this subtext is. I think the subtext could be very well just left as "fields of green". Although that still wouldn't work very well because the birds are obviously flying... so the green things are more up than flat... If you get what I mean. >_< - 6.5/10

sexysilver - Let it embrace you
It seems a little to short, but this is really neat. Because it looks like the green things are embracing the doves. Plus this is left vague which is a plus. I think you could have played with the idea more and made it better though. However, at first look, it doesn't seem like a good subtext. - 7.5/10

Forte - Top Left: On the wings of doves...
Bottom right: ...on the wings of angels...
I like this one, although I think maybe you could have played with the fades instead of having things top left and top right. I love how this is worded and how it relates to the signature. - 9/10

francineh - *Fades in* Above the word Harmony - In a tranquil glade...
DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD HARMONY ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER - thrives.
The more I read this, the more I love it! I think this is a fantastic subtext. I like how you've incorperated this subtext into the signature, plus, "glade" is a very good and non-specific word. And yes, it does seem like the green things are thriving... What's this, a perfect subtext? - 10/10


I choose to eliminate, Krycsm and Theonlysaneone. Sorry guys.

Pixalation - Let the angels choir
To their hearts' desire
If the sig were of a yellowish or blue hue, this might work better. The first line does go well with harmony and the doves, though, and I like the rhyming. 7.5/10

Benladesh - Nature, a heaven on earth
Somewhat of a different take, pretty good job tying everything together. 8/10

Krycsm - Light and life
I can see how this relates, however it seems a little simple. There is definitely room for a longer and/or more descriptive subtext. 6.5/10

theonlysaneone - (top right) Waves of grass
(bottom right) Fields of green
The imagery you've presented is alright, though there seems to be too much focused on the background, and not enough on harmony itself. 7/10

sexysilver - Let it embrace you
This could work with all the curly things in the back, however I think different words and even something longer would help develop the idea. 7.5/10

Forte - Top Left: On the wings of doves...
Bottom right: ...on the wings of angels...
Good parallelism, it helps allude one thing with the other. Fades might help, especially with all the ellipses, but overall takes the entire sig into account very well. 8.5/10

francineh - *Fades in* Above the word Harmony - In a tranquil glade...
DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD HARMONY ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER - thrives.
A good choice of words, it brings the sig together nicely as a whole. "Thrives" depicts the background very well. 9.5/10

I pick: theonlysaneone, Krycsm. =/

Round Note: My interpretation of this image focuses on harmony from two separate elements.

Pixalation - Let the angels choir
To their hearts' desire
I can see the analogy but was at first thrown by the use of "choir", but it grew on me and fits with the harmony component of the image 8/10

Benladesh - Nature, a heaven on earth
I like this but feel the words could have been re-arranged better, maybe from heaven to earth, nature's "Harmony". 8/10

Krycsm - Light and life
While combining the two elements I feel you could have been more descriptive. 6.5/10

theonlysaneone - (top right) Waves of grass
(bottom right) Fields of green
The subtext itself is slightly bland and there is a lack of connection between the two elements of the image 7/10

sexysilver - Let it embrace you
see theonlysaneone's comments, however the imagery generated saves this from being too focused on the one element. 7.5/10

Forte - Top Left: On the wings of doves...
Bottom right: ...on the wings of angels...
I like how you have combined the elements here but feel you needed to relate to the greenery more. The ellipses in front of the second line may not have been needed. 8/10

francineh - *Fades in* Above the word Harmony - In a tranquil glade...
DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD HARMONY ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER - thrives.
Again the focus on a single element, slightly detracts from the excellent choice of words. 9/10

Tough call this round, my picks:
Krycsm
theonlysaneone

sorry I have to do this fast >_<. I'm not feeling well. WIS knows.



Pixalation - Let the angels choir
To their hearts' desire
It's okay, but the use or choir here can confuse people at bit. The tone is good for the sig and singing = harmony.
7

Benladesh - Nature, a heaven on earth
This is okay. "A heaven on earth" makes it sound a little chunky for some reason. I see what you're coming from, but I think something related more to harmony would be better >_< and can nature really be described as a heaven?
7

Krycsm - Light and life
Alliteration = good. Tone = good. I like the combination of two abstract elements. I felt like you could've expanded a bit though, and added something that related more.
7

theonlysaneone - (top right) Waves of grass
(bottom right) Fields of green
I don't feel like the tone of your subtext is right for the signature. It's too literal, and the sig radiates something more abstract.
6.5

sexysilver - Let it embrace you
Although a bit simplistic, I like. Tone is good.
7.5

Forte - Top Left: On the wings of doves...
Bottom right: ...on the wings of angels...
Wish you chose a synonym for wings instead of repeating it twice; parallel structure = great. Good noticing the doves are in the sig. Tone = great. Fantastic work.

francineh - *Fades in* Above the word Harmony - In a tranquil glade...
DIRECTLY BELOW THE WORD HARMONY ABOUT TWO SECONDS LATER - thrives.
Again, glade is a little too literal (although I suppose this could have double meaning). Good imagery though and nice phrasing.
