1,000,000 Post Avatar Contest - Best Animated Avatar

Mr. Anderson · 12:11 AM

The mods have voted and have made our choices for the finalists of the Best Animated 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, Friday at midnight EDT. In case of a tie, we'll leave the polls open for an extra day.

This was not an easy task and we have an honorable mention entry as well (see below). Congrats to all the members who entered the most participated-in contest in MacRumors history (over 230 entries). Thanks for your participation.

Honorable mention:

evil santa

If you've made the list, feel free to update your sig. Once we have a winner, that member will be able to use the winning 'tar.

Thanks again,

D

anjaki - meh.
koyder - eh?
laslo - hm.
medea - huh?
stoid - bah.

Overall? I vote for the cat.

FlamDrag · Aug 25, 2004, 01:06 AM

The cat is pretty funny.

Overall, not bad animated submissions. I'm pleasantly surprised.

cb911 · Aug 25, 2004, 01:12 AM

anjaki!

nice idea, much better than your first submission.

medea didn't have a bad one either, but i also based the decision on which 'tar i could stand to see in the forums on a regular basis. the typewriter 'tar is very dark, i don't think i could stand that for too long. although the swing 'tar has alot of motion, but i'm down with that.

I'm fairly sure it's "brains on"--> at least that's what someone said in the original thread medea #1

tex210 · Aug 25, 2004, 02:03 AM

would'a voted for the cat.

katanna · Aug 25, 2004, 02:11 AM

I would have voted for the iMac fade, but it faded to the MacRumors icon, and it was kinda out of place.
Typewiter gets my vote.

I pleased to get a Honorable mention here & a finalist in the 1,000,000 catogory.

I was going to one with the macroumors logo in it so he is chasing that, but never got round to it.

thanks again & good luck to all the finalists.

I was going to vote for that one, but I didn't because it jumps from the MR icon to the original Mac (it doesn't fade). If it faded then I would've voted for it, but instead I voted for stoid.

Hoef · Aug 25, 2004, 05:05 PM

Give me something furry .... The others are okay but too plasticy for my taste.

evil_santa · Aug 25, 2004, 07:21 PM

Thank you all for you continued support for my spinning cat Tizer. Only another 275 posts to go till i can use is as my Avitar

here is another gif of the furry one..

stoid · Aug 25, 2004, 07:30 PM

Wow, I'm shocked that my lil' 1984 avatar made it to the finals! Since I couldn't vote for the cat though (write in?), I'm going for the typewriter. Very nice indeed.

medea · Aug 25, 2004, 11:20 PM

I do believe someone already let the cat out of the bage but for those who don't know yet the typewriter is typing "brains on." I would have preferred it to be a mystery, except for the few, but so many have asked so......

trebblekicked · Aug 26, 2004, 12:28 AM
