    hmm tough decision - but here's my take on both of em:

    Spartanops21- very nice very sleek, good choice of text (nice symbol too) and nice choice of background, i do like the colors (even though i despise monocoloring xD) ... Blending was alright, i like it, but im very sure you can do better, like add a faint gaussian or motion blur behind the render. The borde (classic 3px) is alright, but the white bits at the bottom ruin it for me :(

    Over all i give Spartanops21 a 8.5/10

    Now for primarvvids :D - I must say that is definitely a unique design, havent seen quite a background, few points up for that, but ... whats with the choice of render? O.O - it just seems so out of place, shouldve picked one that was relavent tothe color sceme. There was no border though i guess borders arent really needed now adays :P - but hmmm the blending ... also as mentioned above, could be worked on atleast a bit. But overall its still unique - try working on it a bit mroe you might end up with your own style ;).

    Overall rating 8.2/10

    My vote goes to sparta... sorry primar xD!
    (along with constructive criticism!)

    I really like primar's sig. It's unique, has it's own style, but the render and lack of a border is what lost it for me. The person looks like they should be happier, or something. You could have gotten a better render which would fit it. Not bad though, not bad at all.

    My vote goes to primar, just because he took a chance and went for it. It will definately develope into something sweet, and I'm looking forward to seeing a tut on it later. Interesting work there, primar.

    Spartan, yours is too plain. Too generic. It's been done before. The text is really cool, but that's about it for me. =/

    Sorry man.

    My vote goes to Primar.

    primar gets my vote...

    His sig destroys spartans in my opinion... The background is far more unique and interesting. Plus the render isn't overfaded into the background (something which annoys the hell out of me in Spartan's). Pretty much the only thing I like about Spartan's is the typo.

    Corn.

    ....

    Aside from me saying random things..... Yeah, I just noticed how you can see a lot of the background through the render in his sig. I must have been tired when I first saw it. Good eyes, SeP.
