    Here are some updates from me. I made a new tree mascot and I made 2 different headers, one is the city at night and the other one is in the day time!

    a4hire - I love the face on your tree. However I am not a fan of the buildings or the font. Could you make the font a bit more "out of the box"? I am not sure what should be done about the buildings, they just don't look right to me.

    @crowquill - sorry for the delay, your tree is very nice too. Something about that face that I do not like. I think it look too kid like or something.

    l3fty,
    I don't think that photos will work. I like the font, but the photo just doesn't seem to fit in.

    crowquill did not post his banner here, but it is my favorite of the bunch, but lefty's tree is my favorite.
    I will have to make my decision in the morning.

    Sorry, a4hire, yours is very nice just not quite what I am looking for. Almost too "techno". But you do great work!

    Well here is the result. The winner is crowquill. I liked his banner the best. But I also like l3fty's character.

    You all did a great job with this "unique" contest! I will be giving positive rep to all that participated.

    Crowquill send me your paypal info.

    I will also be purchasing lefty's character for use somewhere on the site.

    l3fty please send me your paypal info.

    Thanks for choosing my efforts. True, I love l3fty's every spontaneous creations and he is very instrumental at given illustration/cartoon/caricature themes. Everyone put their best efforts in creating bonsai tree for this contest thread. Sending PM. I beg your pardon for my bad English.
