A single person can only place using one banner despite how many votes the "second" banner may get.
Voting Commentary
01 - Good matching coloring and organized text. Could up the contrast a bit between the banner and the text to make it more readable, but overall best design and placement.
01- This banner matches fairly closely to the color scheme of the icon. The text is a bit on the darker side, it probably would have been helpful if the placement was a bit bigger... and lighter.
01 - I like the echoing elements that match the icon. Good overall composition, although the text is a little bit too dark for my personal taste. Good job!
04 - Very nice and colorful. The text stands out nicely and matches well.
04- I think it looks really pretty and the use of different font sizes works in bringing different words/titles into highlight.
Other Commentary
02 - The text feels a bit disjointed to me. I would suggest using all caps for some of the text, to try and minimize the amount of space needed for the text.
03 - I like the idea of using a gradient of sparkles... it really pulls out the color. I tend to dislike it when all the text is in a script-y font, it looks cleaner to have some of the text in a simpler sans-serif font... but that's possibly more personal taste on my part.
04 - Great use of the texture, but it's a bit too bright. I would suggest trying to copy the same level of brightness that is in the icon, so that the icon still stands out against the banner. The text is nice and readable though, so good job!
