I like Old Navy's signature the best because it is not only eye catching but I love that it glows :). The simplicity of the signature is another reason why I voted for Old Navy. It fits the theme perfectly well and that the cuteness of the witch character made the signature pleasant to look at. Kudos! :)))

I can't decide.

This week's entries are all good.

• Nando, you hit a homerun with the superstar, great work.
• Appie, I love how you made your stock look as if it was vintage coverart, intentional or not.
• Mint, really diggin your choice of font and the sig is very sharp, clear and clean.
• Old Navy, I was excited that you didn't give up on animated sigs. Very well done.
• Char, your variety of colors and fonts are wonderfully constructed, awesome f'n sig.
• Elaice, this could seriously be coverart, if not then it's the best fan art ever, amazing

I'm going to have to mull this over a bit before casting a vote, but I just want to say

great job everyone.

The most eye appealing, its like dreaming of ourselves wandering about in space. The colors are bright and attractive, alongside with the stars. It all makes the signature stands out, the font is simple and with added motif on it, which I find suits the theme of your signature.

Dude I don't know how else to say this but that thing is TRIPPY. It looks amazing the way it's put together, the way the colors all go together but then you have her blue tone that go with the stars and it all works in harmony. In other words, yes.

As sookyay said, it was eye catching and it was unique to others because it is glowing and I don't know but it is somehow moving unlike other signatures. And I think it fits the theme because it is glowing, like a space should. For the second time I voted Old Navy's signature, makes SOTW more exciting. keep up the good work!

I know it's not listed on here but, relevance should be part of how the signature is judged. That is partly why this signature was my favorite. Between her's and Nandos, I had a hard time deciding but the colors in this image really won me over. I love the feeling of movement, like she's coming down from space to kick some ass. I also love the details, especially the clouds and stars. :)

The whole thing is awesome. When you put yourself within the signature

the witch is convincing you travel around the space. Using her powers[the yellow star]

you could ever feel what is the mystery of the space[universe].

I love your idea. =D
