Congratulations to everyone on a job well done! http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...lies/smile.png


DOSE PICTUARS ARE KINDA PRETTEYS, LIEK GENBUZ R AWSUM

[blythe]

There is way too much transparency and WordArt-esque drop shadow going on in some of these. Seem like video game forum sigs from like, 2007. Some are cool though. And no, I didn't submit because I'm lazy and assumed the quality would be higher.

[Draylo]

What were the prizes?

[miokomioko]

Everyone got a Scarf of Wondrous Wit, but the 3 first-place winners also got a batch of grand company consumables (gathering exp scroll, crafting exp scroll, sanction scroll, and reraise tonic)

[Halion]

I entered for fun as Gridania and seriously didn't expect to win but if the Gridania one was at least good I wouldn't be bothered, but it isn't, herp derp. Both Maelstrom ones don't look great but I guess not a lot of people did Limsa. The runner-up for Gridana is a little lacking in color but overall better than the winner and one that I actually thought might win, and all the ones from Ul'dah I had picked out as decent. So much bad text effects. c.c There's like 4-5 other Gridania ones that look better than the Maelstrom runner-ups, they should at least have done fairly 2 runner-ups from each city.

[Rollercoaster]

I entered the contest, and am a bit surprised at their choices as well. Personally, I avoided text all together!

[Spira]

i like Pirika's vertical banner, but even then I'd have thought no text is better..

quite neat anyway.. this must be one of the 'community building' events

[Thiefami]

I like Sadrith's. They created a nice flow throughout the banner
