I agree with Suelynn about the talent and the notion of voting via the BB's polling application.
However, I haven't voted (yet) because trying to decide between all of these amazing entries makes my brain hurt...plus we still have some time.

I can't choose between 7 & 8. They are both fantastic as are all the others. The frog is adorable and yet not too cartoonish, I love the wood. The Winery sign is flat out gorgeous.

My vote goes to a fine piece of work. The post treatment is outstanding. I like the colors because they all work together. The letter style for "Winery" is clean yeat has a slightly understated sense of flair and the way it goes over the edge of the sign is a neat touch.
I don't like the ornament at the bottom. It looks "plunked" and a little out of place. The sub copy is a nice clean style very suitable for this type of copy but could have been better arranged.
I like the illustration at the top but would like to have seen those come outside the circle. I also don't like the ornament treatment, either.
The positives far out weighed the negatives on this job. It is an impressive piece.
Thanks for running this, Jon.

My brain is hurting again. They really all are truly exquisite.
I think I've got to go with #1.
The "aesthetics" of it are unique
The design is clever and effective - and it is easy to imagine how it could easily translate into a complete Corporate ID ("win" for the customer and "win" for the signshop).
Congratulations to all contestants - and thanks Jon (and Sue and Vicki), for reviving and running the contest.

Just a little overlap of the cartoon over the lettering, but it doesn't hurt it...good dimensional effects throughout. Original, wild and colorful cartoon. Vibrant colors, clean paint and airbrush work and a little "outside of the square".
My vote. Rapid

Dang I like all of them, but the truck layout really hits me. I hate to vote for just one, but no. 3 gets my vote this time.

#6 for me. Flat or not, I love the lettering, & how it extends into those ornaments. Beautiful! I wish the picture showed the color a bit better,tho.

#3 is my first choice. Grabs my attention like a smile from a pretty stranger. The color and designed balance work well. Assuming this is the rear of the body, it would be interesting to see how the doors were treated. #5, my second choice, is a jawdropper. This will elevate the clients name and location to landmark status. Says "who" and "where" in a BIG way!

Yep, I agree with this hurting my brain! Maybe in the future the poll would be a good idea, with LESS CHOICES, maybe 5? And NO results can be seen til the end?
You outta see me in the ice cream store trying to decide...!!!
And after looking at this first set of choices, there's no way I'll ever be able to enter anything!!
