/me avoids the American Idol reference

Sig #1: This sig is pretty darn cool. It looks as if they took a stock photo of a winter scene, and put it to use on both sides of Sasuke. The blur added to Sasuke is really cool, and the scanlines help out as well. This sig features the best use of a render. Also has the best avatar of the trio.

Sig #2: At first glance, I didn't think much of this sig. After looking at it more, it's really interesting, and demands attention with its vibrant colors. The render was cleaned up pretty well, and the text formatting is good, imo (I'm not quite sold on the color, though). I would've preferred the avatar to feature Tayuya, rather than a fragment of the sig.

Sig #3: This sig could've been better, imo. The render is too small to be clearly seen (with the new size dimensions allowed, it could possibly be improved), and the ripple effect doesn't fit well. More tech-style brushing like in the bottom left corner would've been cool.

So... you skipped my boring, subpar analysis, eh? You really don't care what I think. You'd rather know who I voted for.
Both #1 and #2 are good sigs. If #2's avatar featured Tayuya, I'd vote #2 easily rather than pondering my decision.

I will give my vote to... #2, because it's one of the most unique sigs in this tournament. If I were Liquid Echo, I'd 1) be here to participate and 2) rotate both these sigs, since they are both cool.
Now... read my analysis!
