Thoughts on some images Ive made attempting to win a contest...

[IFMU]

Ok folks, Im attempting to win a contest elsewhere (obvious from the images!) And am looking for some input.
Im not the greatest at this stuff, as you can tell. But I kinda know what Im doing. So, what do you all think of what Ive got so far? And which is best?

Ah yea, btw, if interested, Heres the contest and rules. (http://www.athlonxp.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7491)

Ive posted #4 so far into the contest. Did that a few days ago, you can now enter a total of 3 entries.

Thanks for the input all, the 3 listed below are what will be entered into the contest. #4 was my first, didnt think I would end up working on these so much.. lol... But due to everyones opinions and help, Ive come up with these and think these will be what I will enter.

They are all pretty good, but my personal favorite is the first one. Good luck on winning the contest though.

#1 and fix the text with drop shadow and put editors choice smaller under athlon XP. remove the grey athlon XP at an angle.

Keep it simple.

[IFMU]

Looks like bland to me?

Hard to choose between new nr1 and nr2

everybody reckognises the amd in nr1, nr2 will only be spotted by more experianced people.

For me i think nr2 is just a bit better ;)

[IFMU]

Thanks for the replies!

So what would make any of these better then they are now?

Looking for critisism here... (spellings wrong I know! LoL)

But yea know what I mean!~!

I think you should take the one in number 13, and put an AthlonXP instead of a Thunderbird in the picture ;).

[Ulfar]

hmm..... #3, 4, 13 look the best to me.

Added in, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18

The rules don't seem to say (at least as far as I read, I may just be too tired to have noticed) that you can't submit as many as you like. Why not just submit the good with the bad and send them all in? Should increase your chances to win, I should think.

[Smizack]

#14 is teh win!;)

[IFMU]

Thanks for the thought, but unfortunately, there is a 3 pic maximum. It had started as 2, but due to slow responce, they upped it to 3.

Still prolly do a few more soon, just not personally happy with any so far.

[IFMU]

19-20-21 added.... tryin to remember what the differences were between 19-20... heh....

[Ulfar]

in 19 and 20 i would clean up the letters but they look good, i like 17 also.

[IFMU]

Thanks for the input Ulfar.

Updated, 22, 23, 24 & 25 added.

Yes, when I am bored, I find something to do!
