I REALLY liked the concept of Option C, but since the Graphics stamp could be given out before the Gameplay stamp, it wouldn't work too well.

I voted for Option B because those picture concepts were great.

Awesome entries by all. =D>

That particular problem with C could easily be fixed by making another stamp for such a rare occurence, with just the "Draft" and and "Graphics" Stamp. However Option B does look like the best option, i would dull the colours a bit as they are a bit too bright for me, but the picture concept is a good one ;)

I like B and C the best. Although I love the graphics on B, the originality on C has won me over. Either way, they'd be great stamps to have!

Well, yes and no. It "could," but it won't (at least as long as gimil runs the show ;) ). I agree with whoever said that if the maker of Option C had done something with the dead space, I woulda voted for it. Personally, I woulda stuck the CC star behind the quarter fills, if you follow.

Yup. Nice job to all :)

I voted for option D because option D is the best and I always vote for the best.

I vote for Entry 5! :lol:

Option A - I can deduce who made these just by looking at them! ;)

Option B - Very well made but kind of complex.

Option C - Don't like it that much. And what if graphics are approved before gameplay? That could happen on some maps.

Option D - These would be my favorites if they were brighter. Right now they are too dark. Maybe a second chance? :-s

No offense to the creator of option A (wich we all know who he is) but I think that a mixture of B, C & D concepts would make perfect stamps :roll:

I was thinking C would be cool with the graphics from B on the pie pieces. If Graphics are approved before Gameplay, an image could easily be created to reflect this - two pieces of pie across from each other.

This suggestion would be sweet...

I like the little illustrations in B - but the concept of C is great.

Great entries but i can't decide between A and B they look so good. I need some time to ponder this.

I'm surprised D doesn't have more support, I really like those stamps!

All were very good entries though =D>

All very good!!

Though there's no doubt from my side. Stamps/seals has through history been the sign of some kind of approval and as I'm kind of fund of continuity in todays world of never lasting new trends, D get's my vote.

It's the way seals have been looking for a very long time (millenniums?) and everyone knows what they mean without any explanations - I know this is dang conservative, but as a non-map-knower/maker I'd rather spend my time on the map than trying to figure out what some kind of mark on the map really means.

Have a continued nice voting (and a nice WE as well).

Yes, I've always been lasy and one-eyed. And yes, KISS is one of my favorite mottos.......

Next time i will spill ink on blank paper, maybe these will be better then what im present now.

D's readability is seriously lacking. B's is okay, but nothing beats the simplicity of C. People who think those are the only 4 options for the stamp aren't thinking outside the box- the pie chart style easily allows one stage to go before another- and you can figure out where a map is at a GLANCE rather than looking at 2-3 or 4 stamps in a row. 1 stamp shows all the progress- after it's been around for a little bit you won't even need to read the text anymore.

combine the look of B with the concept of C and you have the perfect stamp...

So what your saying is you want 1/1,000 of the overall population to vote, I doubt it :roll:

I think D should be lightened up a bit to give it the chance it deserves

I buy these good arguments regarding the simplicity/concept of C: One glance stage understanding through only 1 stamp
Combined with the elegance from B and the touch of time from D it would be unbeatable....

MrBenn: Can one suggest you cast yet another voting/competition after this, containing the frame/rule of the simplicity/concept from C (one glance stage understanding through only 1 stamp) or stop this voting and let the competitors change their suggestions accordingly?? Or is this only plain stupidity from a not understanding outsider and voter?

I support an epic fusion of all 4 stamps to create the ultimate stamp. ;)

There won;t be another round of voting this time, but I'm sure the stamps will be refreshed again in a couple of months or so ;-)
