It looks nice, but sadly, it doesn't really match the skin, so I'm not sure it'll be allowed .

Make one in the same colours as the skin . I'm sure some famous empire in history had colours close to the skin we have now.Or, I could always re-make this skin with red instead of blue... |

Here is my entry:![]() Works Cited: http://www.thechesspiece.com/indian/chess_set_nouvelleW600.jpg (chess pic) http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/01/95-percent-emperor-penguins-could-die-climate-change.php (penguin pic) The chess piece represents the "Chess Resources Forum", all the games, and an "Imperial ruler". The penguin represents the "Imperial ruler" as an animal, a reference to Blackbird Gardens. Since this forum looks like it's both Michelle's and KingIndian's I thought I'd compromise by making them both as the rulers. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Dec 25 2009, 03:55 PM.

Speaking of the Penguin do you know the French just call them "Empereur" cue March of the Penguins parody with thousands of Napoleons marching across Antarctica to mate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgEvleWpouo Edited by lamna, Dec 25 2009, 05:19 PM.

Here's my banner. I'd promised I'd do it eventually - and I didn't disappoint!![]() In the shield, I have four symbols: the snake represents BG, and the chess king represents CRF. In addition, all four symbols represent popular subjects of discussion here: the snake represents animals/biology; the chess king represents games; the map of Europe can represent history, geography or politics, and Saturn represents astronomy. I know I've been cheap with the slogan by re-using an old one from CRF, but I'm no good at making up slogans . If anyone can think of a better one, I'll be more than happy to edit the banner.References: http://www.realestatemarketingblog.org/wp-content/uploads/image/348px-Chess_piece_-_White_king%281%29.jpg http://www.boatips.com/images/king%20snake.jpg http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/upload/2009/10/saturn_when_one_ring_doesnt_ru/saturnPic1.jpg http://campfires.co.cc/assets/images/europe-relief-map.jpg Edited by CJ, Dec 27 2009, 06:24 PM.

Looks good .It's the deadline at 8 o'clock Greenwich Mean Time today (for the times where you are, consult your watch), remember . Any entries submitted after that time will not be judged, and the winner will be announced on New Years Eve.

Rather than being decided by public vote, I think it's going to be judged by CG and FFE tomorrow. I've been offered a chance to judge, but I don't really want to, having entered myself, and Michelle was going to until she pulled out of the contest. |

EDIT: We have the results of the contest, and while it was not easy to judge and rank them, CJ is the winner (although I assure you he did NOT vote for his own entry - that was done by me and CG). The results of the contest are as follows:
On behalf of all the judges, I'd like to thank everyone for entering, and although I am sorry there can only be one banner used, I had a lot of fun evaluating them , and am grateful for your entries.

No problem, I completely agree with KingsIndian winning. I would have voted for his besides mine. But I appreciate the post boost (did you add it in yet, I couldn't tell?). |
