For the time being, we won't operate using scoring, especially since this is a trial match, but it may be incorporated if we get the actual league going.

At this time, just post which gets your vote and comment as to why it gets your vote; essentially, Rate/Hate & vote.

No Flaming!

Prodigy: Personally not a big fan of that look, but it's still appealing. Font's a bit boring and could flow better but nbd. Maybe brighten up the left side of the banner a tad? Besides that, nice work! 8.2/10
Andrew: On first look, I really loved. The render chosen is really cool, very appealing. My problem is that the background is too light, and that kinda' interrupts the flow of the banner for me. I think it would be amazing if it was darker, and you played with the render a bit. Font's a bit boring but works. 8/10

My votes goes to Prodigy by a hair.

This is a close one

Prodigy - Very good texture, smudging and distorting, with spot-on colours and lighting. I just feel the text should have been more subtle, especially the biggest font with the gradient. At times like this I would encourage lowering the opacity and tampering with the drop-down blending menu. The pixel font in the lower corner should be about 1 or 2 sizes smaller, but now I'm nitpicking. Pretty solid piece overall.

Andrew - This sig works, but it looks a lot lazier in comparison. The colours and lighting are what makes this shine, but minimal effort was put into blending the render and the text works against the whole thing. There were just too many crucial components that you overlooked that could have made this awesome. But with that said, its one of your best that I've seen.

My vote goes to Prodigy

Closest one I've seen thus far as I really love both of these but going to go with Andrew just barely as I like the background work done better which ended up being the tie breaker for me.

I'm going with Andrew on this one, his looks just a little better than Prodigy's but they are both great.

The Drew Brees sig is actually a pretty good stock sig. The brush work is nicely done and I like how Prodigy played around with light sources. Andrew, you're banner is a bit too chaotic with the brushwork for my taste.

VOTE: Prodigy

Same exact reason as what Ryan said (also because I'm not the best at reviewing GFX), so Prodigy gains my vote.
