Re-design competition: Marks : VOTING!

For me it's a choice between 8 and 9.

I chose 8.

The reason I don't choose 9 is because it has too much detail. Take a look at that icon as smaller, like 18x18 that we use on the forums, and you'll see what I mean. 9 would have been awesome if there was less detail, like less and wider branches. In its current form is fails as a smaller icon.

I figured.. why not do it for all of them. Obviously, people made these to be looked at in their bigger form, but I thought it would be interesting to see them smaller.

1. Entropy


2. Life


3. Death


4. Water


5. Darkness


6. Air


7. Darkness


8. Darkness


9. Life

i didnt take the smaller forms of the icons into consideration because the required size for the competition was large

[Flayne]

Hmm, perhaps in the future i shall consider making an addition where contestants have to make the large mark and a small version aswell.

8 I don't even understand.

It can be looked at in several different ways. The central slit is meant to be the pupil of a catlike eye; the circular background is the eyeball. As a whole, the other parts can be viewed as skeletal batlike wings. The four gray parts can be thought of as membranes of the wing; but when looked at by themselves, they can be thought of as two pairs of glowing demonic eyes. The top ridges of the wings can also be thought of as demonic horns. As a whole, the entire thing sort of looks like a demonic helmet too. The original Mark of Darkness is no better; it doesn't really look like anything on the first glance.

i dunno, i pretty much always have seen it as a bat /shrug (but maybe thats just because i grew up watching too much batman?)

Well, I didn't know what it was in the beginning. I only found that it was a bat after looking at it 45 degrees sideways. I don't know why Zanz rotated it...

figures that my first competition win wouldnt be from a card design competition

[RavingRabbid]

None of these would really look like a mark.

I voted #9.
