Fantastic response this Month. Best yet. Over 60 entries overall. Made it real hard to choose just six in each category for you to vote on. Especially in the 3d category. 20 entries!
If yours is not here, don't dispair, I will carry some of them over into December.
Please vote here on this thread with your comments on each, plus one vote for Overall. Voting closes Sunday December 11th. I will accept e-mail votes too if you wish to remain anonimous.

A3 This entry is now withdrawn by the entrant's request. My error. I thought it was a 3d sign, but it was not. I will resubmit it in December. Too late to substitute another of the excellent entries. Sorry. Please when you send entries include a brief description so I can categorise. Thanks.

A2 - I really like A1, but there's something about the leaf and the colors that just kept drawing me back.
B5 - Simple, fun, happy.
C4 - Great use of space and color. I like the use of blocks for a warehouse, reminds me of the boxes stacked in there.
D5 - Bold and eye catching. The big red A will be very easy to remember when someone sees it on the road, then goes to look it up in the phone book later.
E4 - This catagory was the hardest to decide. I really like E3, but the second lil guy in the graphic bothers me. I love E5 - extremely close second. Heck, I'd like to vote for both!!
Overall - was really hard. There's alot of great use of color, choice of fonts and artwork, but as far as an actual 'sign' and advertising effectiveness goes, I'm gonna go with D5.
Great jobs everyone!!

Some difficult choices.... A1, it's monumental & I like wheat sheaves, (also like A2 & 4) B3, C1 D1 (also like 6) E4 (also like 5)
Overall- too hard! Tie with A4, because Letterheads are great, and E4 with a nice unique creative linkage of letters with the theme.

A2. I really liked A1 too, hard to decide, but A2 just kept grabbing my attention.
B3 What can I say? Georgous
C3. Classy and elegant. Perhaps it's the angle, but the phone # just doesn't look right, maybe bump it to right a bit more.
D4. Simple, classy and eye catching but not gaudy.
E5 Arg, this is a real toughie. I really like E4, althought I can't read the text at the bottom. Maybe if I knew anything about wine, I could figure out what it says. Great design though. However, E5 is catchy and totally fits with the tone of window splashes. Being a business card, it is a great example of marketing to your market.
Overall: (drumroll please as I NEVER vote for overall) A2. See, I just keep getting drawn back to it.
