Round 6
It's starting to get hard to give a specific number rating for these.



Pixalation - Like melancholic clockwork *fade, to just below first text* Maintaining pace so steadily
Clockwork connects well with this sig, I can sense the monotony as I read the text. 8.5/10

Benladesh - An Inevitable Cycle
A bit short, but inevitable, with both its definitions having a slightly different take, is a good word to use. 7.5/10

sexysilver - The gears inside my head *fade* Go on Forever
Though they are in the sig, I feel there could be more description than simply stating that there are gears.. 7/10

Forte - Grinding away at my life *fade* one second at a time
Grinding sets the monotonous mood nicely, maybe add an ellipsis at the end to draw out the seconds. 7.5/10

francineh - The Daily Grind
It sounds like it could be a coffee stand. =P I can see how the sig relates to routine, though there's lots of space to expand. 6.5/10



Pixalation - Audacious embers scatter the surface
Ignite my surreal sentiments
The nice choices of words work well together to bring out the dreamy image. Fades would help to keep it uncluttered. 8.5/10

Benladesh - A rainbow of trees
Not quite a rainbow in the sig, but it works. More dream-like words would make it even better. 7/10

sexysilver - The beginning of the end
It does show what is happening in the sig, although more descriptive words could improve the imagery of the text. 7/10

Forte - Gazing into the eve of autumn
This describes the season of mixed colors very well, gazing adds to the dreamy feel of the sig. 9/10

francineh - Transient Beauty
Though short, transient describes the sig very nicely, and I like the tone of the subtext. 8/10

------
First one: sexysilver, francineh
Second one: sexysilver, Benladesh

Round 6 (Semi-finals)



Pixalation - Like melancholic clockwork *fade, to just below first text* Maintaining pace so steadily
I dont actually think the second line is very nessisary at all. I think I would prefer the subtext as just "Melacholic Clockwork". Melacholic is a good word to use here. - 8/10

Benladesh - An Inevitable Cycle
I like this one, it's pretty simple and it works nicely with the sig. - 8.5/10

sexysilver - The gears inside my head *fade* Go on Forever
I would actually avoid mentioning movement explicitly in this signature, because it doesn't actually show movement. (IMO) - 7/10

Forte - Grinding away at my life *fade* one second at a time
Same problem with sexysilver. - 7/10

francineh - The Daily Grind
I dont like this one, like another judge has said, this reminds me much of coffee. - 6.5/10

My picks for this sig:
sexysilver, francineh




Pixalation - Audacious embers scatter the surface
Ignite my surreal sentiments
This one fits the mood of the signature very well, although, once again, I feel the second line isn't needed. However, you could just simply elaborate on the first line more. Still, I like this one. - 9/10

Benladesh - A rainbow of trees
This is very literal and boring... - 6.5/10

sexysilver - The beginning of the end
This is interesting... but, wouldn't The Beginning of the End be like the beginning of winter or something? Perhaps it could've been worded a bit better. - 7/10

Forte - Gazing into the eve of autumn
Ahh, I like this one. Very nice wording and all. - 9.5/10

francineh - Transient Beauty
This is simple and short, very nice too. I like the word Transient, it describes Autumn very well. - 9/10

My picks for this sig:
Benladesh, sexysilver

Sexysilver and francineh are eliminated, sorry.

There was a tie between francineh and Benladesh. So I totalled all the scores up and ben had 1.5 points more than franc. It was a clsoe round.
