GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

[McAwesome]

Number 2 looks good.

[likerobots]

hehHE i was going to enter with something like #2, with the circuit board but i decided to watch loiter squad instead



it was a close one between 6 and 7, they're both so beautiful!

[sarah.]

Eh. I think people here have quite different views of what a "professional" style is.

[IcedEarth]

I voted for 3 because it looks good and fits the criteria very well. It also reminds me of a business card lol think that's cool.
I admire how they achieved that sweet and simple look. Something I really suck at.

Although it's nice, I thought 6 was the only one that's obviously not a professional signature. The others look like attempts, some good some not.

Professional is just a perception.

A hooker could be professional, but still is looked down upon.

You're confusing me with your name changes lol

Nice sig btw.

[Pamplemousse]

I felt like no. 3 was the most professional looking one. It was close betweeen 3 and 2, but 2 seemed like...any other signature you'd find around on any gaming forum, anywhere, so even though it's well done... voted 3 for professionalism and (a bit) more originality.

[luvsmyncis]

#4 looks like it says Pyco. Other than that, it's my favorite.
Don't understand why the anime character in #6 has his left hand brought over to the right side of his face. Or is it someone else's hand? If the hand didn't bother me so much, I'd like that one best for Pyro even though I fuckin' hate anime.

"This is a serious contest and he would like the signature to be of a professional nature. He has no major requirements other than the fact that it must convey a sense of professionalism and 'stature' so to speak."

....I wouldn't quite say a hooker is the most appropriate parallel for this contest. xD
Professional as in...business, tailored and clean-cut, expressing authority and being impressive to a large group of people. A prostitute wouldn't wear a 3-piece suit, neither would most professions, so that doesn't make it a "professional" job.

I also forgot to mention, props to no. 8 o; I love text-based signatures (can't you tell? lol) but there was something a little 'off' about it for me so I didn't consider it much, but it does have a ring of professionalism.

[Bone]

This is the SOTW where our vote doesn't really matter, right?

[Mishatu]

I don't even know which one to vote for! They all look pretty spiffy.

[trizzle]

I voted for number two although they're all really great.

[Rachel4]

Damn never finished in time. #5 is awesome and so is #2

[CocaKola]

I feel like #3 is the best here via professionalism.

[Shwag]

2 and 4 are my favorites, and 3 is up there. Great work everyone, they all look awesome!

[Neoquest]

I personally like 2 the best, I'm a sucker for vibrant colors

[iomega]

Has the poll disappeared or is it just me?

[Strategist]

wtf? It has! I'll see what happened

It seems to be fixed now Just went in, re-added it and its kept all the votes. No ideas what happened there....


In saying that, GET VOTING people!

[Jun]

The person who did #6 / lelouch is a winnar in my books.

[onlyme]

You have obviously never met a high class call girl. I think it's unfair to say that people who don't wear suits to work aren't professionals. Police officers, teachers, plumbers, doctors, barbers, and uncounted other jobs can be performed as a "professional." That's why they're called "professions." Professionalism is not exclusive to people who wear suits, and suits definitely do not impart professionalism. I have met shitstains in suits that make some of the members here look mature.

That being said, I didn't really love any of these signatures, but they aren't for me so I guess that doesn't matter. It's between 1 and 2 for me.

[grapes]

I, personally associate minimalism with professional graphic design. The last 2 signatures probably tried that, but the effect wasn't strong as the font choices weren't good and too much clutter was there.

No. 4 relied too much on premade brushes, and the text wasn't clear. (the same being the case with No. 5 too)

No. 3 shouldn't have used the brushes, but should have placed the text a bit to the left, and should have drawn some sort of 'logo' or small vector design to the right, just to make it a bit interesting.

No. 2 wasn't very professional, but I liked it.

Here's a quick example of what I would consider 'professional'~



EDIT: I think I shouldn't have added the animation, but I like animations.
