Both of you have to submit reasons to why you voted those contestants as well.

[Noperative]

Kudaranai vs WhatThePhuc
Better colour usage and depth. It shows more complexity and work on Kuda's part.

Sidero vs k0n
Once again, it's shown more work and a better colour scheme. It's got a better depth and complexity.

Pshfrk vs Noperative
Not voting. Though in my opinion, Pshfrk's looks better but is less simplistic. Though I have to admit I've got a bias considering the situation.

Glarbage vs Shnao
I admit that Glarbage's looks much nicer, but the style is supposed to be creative. While Glarbage pulls off the average pro-looking sig, Shnao's looks more original.

[Sanichi]

Kudaranai vs WhatThePhuc
Excellent Color as usual.
Sidero vs k0n
Honestly if the renders were used correctly I would be in love with Sidero entry.
Pshfrk vs Noperative
Detailed excellently. It gave me a scattered feel of Black and White.
Glarbage vs Shnao
Glarbage did a good job in this one. The render melds with the background well as well.
Though. Shnao demonstrates unique ideas. I'm torn here.

[Yuer]

Kudaranai
The mixture of colors and the brightness in the center gives a feeling of "unreachable".

k0n
The arrows and the rushing in the city really signifies NYC very well.

Noperative
Noperative emphasized simplistic more than Pshfrk's. Pshfrk has alot of detail features which kind of as Pshfrk's has a lot more details.

Glarbage
Glarbage's signature has a "magical" sense. The video itself also has a ball dancing and the signature brings out the video into the signature.

[JoyDivision]

Kudaranai
Better use of space and background to emphasize catwoman.

k0n
Uses colors and blurred movement to show constant motion of NYC

Noperative
I thought it was more simplistic and rather got confused about the goal of Pshfrk's sig.

Glarbage
Once again, better use of space and background to emphasis the foreground.
