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 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.

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).

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.

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 ;-)
