2,000,000 Post Avatar Contest - Best Apple-themed Avatar

[Doctor Q]

The moderators have selected the finalists for the Best Apple-themed Avatar contest. Now it's the members' turn to vote for their favorite. The winner will be the entry with the most votes by the end of the voting period, Saturday (New Year's Eve) at midnight EDT. In the case of a tie, we'll leave the polls open for an extra day.

Entries are in alphabetical order. Please vote for your one favorite in this poll and in each of the 2 other contest polls as well. It is also quite appropriate to post comments and compliments in this thread.

Choosing was not an easy task so entries that just missed the finals were awarded Honorable Mention. Congratulations to all of the members who entered the contest and thanks for your participation.

It was kinda hard choosing! they're all so cool!
but, I had to go with Insanely Great... I did my calculus project by writing it out in functions.
I worked on writing out that phrase in cursive for over 12 hours..
(it was insanely great:p)

Y'all rock! Let me borrow your skill some time. :p

[Lacero]

Wow, this category is hard to choose. All good entries.

[~Shard~]

I like Kobushi's out of these ones. Just a personal preference thing I guess, I can't really say why, and they are all very well done!

Man, I wish I had your guys' Photoshop, etc. skills - it's all I can do to create my own rather simple avatars! :o ;)

[Deepdale]

And the vote goes to Kobushi.

[Jaffa Cake]

I was torn between FistfulofAngst and Kobushi, but in the end though, I plumped for FistfulofAngst – simply because it's a great idea and isn't distracting.

[20rogersc]

FistfulofAngst gets my vote due to the originality.

[kretzy]

I like Kobushi's style! :)

[lilstewart]

I picked Kobushi's. Very cool.

[Diatribe]

I really like fistful's, kobushis and tags but in the end it was tag's for me. :)

[atari1356]

awesome job by everyone... it was very tough to choose

[Doctor Q]

I don't know if I'm allowed to say which one I like best.

...checks rules yet again...

I really like mmmppphhh fbbbbbbmphh... this darn duct tape!

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Would it be considered suspicious if my entry suddenly, and all in the last hours of the contest, got, lets say, 20 votes, all from newbies signing up in the same time interval...? :p ;)

Only kidding, just happy to be nominated, at all... best of luck to FistfulofAngst and tag, looks like it's gonna be a close one... :)

[Doctor Q]

Congratulations to FistfulofAngst, winner of the "Apple-themed Avatar" category of the 2,000,000 Post Avatar Contest, and to our other finalists as well!

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Congratulations FistfulofAngst, an original idea well executed that really deserved to win. :)

Also I would like to thank all those voting for me. Too bad there isn't more people like you here at MR... :p ;)

[Veldek]

Congratulations to FistfulofAngst, winner of the "Apple-themed Avatar" category of the 2,000,000 Post Avatar Contest, and to our other finalists as well!Congratulations from me, too. A really close one in this category.

[Kobushi]

Hey thanks guys. I'm just honored to be nominated. I haven't been on much over the holidays. Looks like I missed the vote. Oh well, Congratulations to all the finalists!

[monke]

Congrats FistfulofAngst, Thanks to those voted for me, although I didn't expect to be a finalist.

[fistful]

Niceness! :D

Didn't expect to be nominated let alone win.

Thanks for the votes and nice work to those who were nominated but there could only be one winner. no, not you. Me! (sorry, just asserting my bragging rights :p )

[tag]

Congratulations FistfulofAngst. That was a really neat avatar, well done, that was quite an original idea.

And also thanks to those that voted for me, I might not have won, but at least I got to be a finalist and two honourable mentions no less, I never thought that would happen. :cool:
