Johnny Mac!
Yes, Johnny Mac’s designs amazed the judges and the crowd alike, beginning with his clbumic “Talkin’ ‘Bout Wheels” icon. Its brilliant simplicity, amusing message, and artistic merit took Johnny to an early lead, a lead he maintained with his following submissions. Congratulations, Johnny Mac! We raise our glbum to you!

Everywhere he goes, all will call Johnny Mac the Iron Designer. In addition to this noble title, Johnny Mac wins the unique Iron Designer E-Peen and 5 BP!
But Johnny Mac was not the only designer to achieve excellence. No, for his clever and useful designs, Inconnu wins 2nd place and 3 BP! Congratulations, Inconnu! We look forward to the many new topics your icons will grace.
And yet there was another designer, in fact a designress, who brought together innovation with beauty in a way rarely seen in this Designer’s Stadium. Congratulations, Kittiejenn, for winning 3rd place and 1 BP! Your “unban” icon makes us want to ban more posters just so we can use it!
But what’s this? Another challenger? One who nearly placed because of the amusing and topical messages of his icons? Yes, meet him, Ricket, wins 1 BP and an honorable mention! And now, a final word from your judges:
Log in to see images! I am pleased with this outcome. Yes, I believe the right Iron Designer was chosen. I was behind Johnny Mac the whole time.
Log in to see images! *sniff* Is it over? I want to do it again! Everybody was so great! I even liked the ones that didn’t win!
Log in to see images! *hic* Hey, Johnny Mac, want to come over and hang out? Call me, babe.
Log in to see images! I see that my predictions have come true. I next predict that the replacement icons will take a little longer to choose, but that all will ultimately get their peens. (view post) |

Each of these challengers has excelled in their own way, but who will ultimately prevail? Who will combine technical skill with artistry in a way that surpbumes all the others?

If leetlol wants to designate someone as his or her proxy for this round, we will allow it. Leetlol would need to log in normally and use the “contact us” form in order to let us know who he or she wants to post the entries. Leetlol would be responsible for making sure that the person designated as proxy knows this and is able to post the images. Alternately, leet can simply wait until he or she is unbanned on Friday morning and then post them. (view post) |

We feel that there are many more good icons that could be made and that participants should not worry that all the good ideas have been “taken.” Original icons can be remade or new ones can be imagined. Participants should not resubmit their Round One icons unless they are making a substantial improvement to them, as we will consider all the icons each submitter has created for both rounds in the final judging.

If you are willing to step up to this challenge, your task is to create up to three 60x15 pixel topic icons for use in Flamebate in this thread. Post each one in its own post. You do not have to post them all at once. You have until this Friday, August 14th at 2pm EST to make your final submissions. See this thread for more details.
Participants and bystanders should upvote the icons they find outstanding and downvote the icons that lack artistic merit or interest. While these votes will not solely determine the winner, they will help us get a sense of what the community likes. As a reminder:
1st Place: Unique Iron Designer E-Peen and 5 Brownie Points 2nd Place: 3 Brownie Points and Design Guyz E-Peen 3rd Place: 1 Brownie Point and Design Guyz E-Peen
Any others who do not place but whose icons are used will receive the Design Guyz E-Peen. And Now…

Today, a man’s fantasy has became reality in a forum never seen before: Designers’ Stadium: a giant designing arena. Log in to see images!
The motivation for spending his fortune to create Designers’ Stadium is to encounter new original designs, which could be called true artistic creations.

To realize his dream, he has started chasing the top designers of various styles of image-making. And he will raise a glbum and name the greatest one of them the Iron Designer: the invincible person of artistic skills.

If memory serves me right, topic icons date back to the Web 1.0 period. Topic icons are used to label forum threads according to the thread’s intended subject or to make them more interesting and colorful. In the artistic harmony between image and word, topic icons have become an essential part of forum design. At the size of 60x15 pixels, a topic icon is indeed small. But do not mistake their small size for unimportance. Indeed, they are the amuse bouche of forum imagery. They whet your appetite and ready your eyes for what you will encounter within each and every thread.
I love topic icons and I think it is about time we had a topic icon battle.

One of my extremely famous Japanese actor friends recommended that I select my challengers, and ultimately my Iron Designer, from the citizens of Forumwarz. Having covertly studied them from the safety of my hidden estate, I agree that some of them have promise as designers. But who will step forward? Who will battle for the ultimate title of …

If you have the strength to fulfill my challenge and battle your fellow posters for this title, reveal your intentions here, in this thread, by Friday, August 7th at 2pm EST.
On Monday, August 10th, I will open Battle Topic Icon for those worthy participants. Each individual poster is limited to three submissions. You do not have to use all three submissions. Sometimes it is better to create a single masterpiece than make many mediocre attempts. Round One will close on Friday, August 14th at 2pm EST and the top challengers will proceed to the next round and will have another week to create up to three new topic icons for battle. The number of rounds depends on the number of participants and the quality of entries.
In this new thread, each poster will make one post per submission. You will be allowed to explain briefly in that post why you think your image is superior. However, be warned that art that requires explanation is often not very good. Do not annoy or bore your Chairman or the judges. They will be merciless.
Who will be your judges? I, your Chairman, will judge your entries, but they will also be judged by the Jalapeno Bootyhole, the Apprentices, and by your fellow posters in this forum. They will be encouraged to reward you by upvoting your entries or show their disdain by downvoting your entries. Additionally, a few of my usual judges will be making special appearances.
Log in to see images! Yes, hello. I will especially enjoy judging your attempts at artistry. This will prove most…interesting.
Log in to see images! Hee hee! I’m so excited! It sounds like so much fun already!
Log in to see images! I was told there would be sake. I do not want to have to call my manager.
Log in to see images! I predict that some of the participants will do well and others will do…poorly. Yes, that’s right. That is my prediction.
Now that you have met my judges, you may be wondering about prizes. In addition to the title of Iron Designer, the ultimate winner will receive a unique E-Peen and five Brownie Points. Second place will receive three Brownie Points and third place will receive one Brownie Point. All non-first place entries chosen for use in Flamebate will receive the Design Guyz! E-Peen. You are allowed one entry participant per account. And now, let me hear from you, designers. Who will step up to this challenge? (view post) |
