It's that time again. Here are the top six entries in each category I have selected for you to vote on.
After a stuttering start, I managed to get enough to make a competition. Unfortunately some people sent file formats that I couldn't open. (I have to run Win98se on this puter). Others did themselves an injustice by sending fuzzy, dim pics. One sent a website to choose from! Another 6 files over 600mb each!
All I want is a nice clean .jpg UNDER 60kb. Makes my life a little simpler posting here.
Anyway, here we go ...
Catergory A ... 3D. Lots entries here. Made it real hard just to choose six.

As usual there is lots of great work done this month and it was hard to choose just one in each category.
My choices are as follows...
A1 The coloring and styling of the signs fits in with the building superbly. The layout is imaginative to work around the corner. I like it!
B3 I like the shape of the sign and everything flows nicely. The shears poking out of the border was a nice touch.
C1 This is everything a window splash should be.... 3 words or less easy to read and everything works together. Nice splash!
D6 I like different and this van would stand out from EVERYTHING else out there. The cartoon work is superb, nice bright colors and yet the lettering is still the most important element. Nice work!
Over all I would vote for A1.

Design fits building style. Really nice the way sign follows the curve of the porch. Raised center panel looks nice with the faux marble. Good use of color. Pineapple finials are nice added touch.
B3
Nice pleasing design. Scissors are neat feature.
C1
Does what a splash needs to do. Clean, to the point, and bold.
D2
I am assuming the painter did everything. Having been in the Soap Box Derby myself, maybe I have a soft spot. Sure wish my car looked that awesome...
Overall - A1

A1 especially because I like faux marble (& real marble) & good colour variety & nice layout & fonts not overused & nice panelling. (closely followed by A6)
B3 because I like the idea of breaking outside the boundaries, which the scissors do, and the scrolls are appropriate but not demanding or dominating. Nice not-straight layout & nice colour variety. (followed by B2)
C6 - not because you posted it here, but we frequently drive past it and it's huge & it's a beauty, I mean BEAUTY. Whoever did it & did it so well on CORRUGATED IRON deserves a medal. It's been up for how many decades? & it still looks clean. Just a shame the Toyo & Hankook logos had to wreck the photo! (followed by C1)
D6, for reasons listed above- they apply here too! (followed by D4)
Overall- difficult- but B3 with the scissors!

A2 -- because its funky and different and I like the way the installation is done. I admit the copy is hard to read, but the sign catches your attention and conveys the message like it is supposed to. (A3 is a close second...I love the quality of the sign and how it relates to the quality of the business.
B3 - I love how they used the word "mane" for main and added the scissors instead of more words. The colors are great.
C6 because it is clever and eye-catching
D2 I love the colors and think the whole paintjob has a nice flow without being overdone.
Overall I'm voting A2, just to be different!!
