Inviting your friends to vote for you, bribing random members with rep and otherwise cheating with the VB poll system will get you DISQUALIFIED, BANNED from future contests, -REPPED, and possibly INFRACTED. So don't do it!

This includes, but is not limited to, sending PMs out to various users, getting other people to send those PMs, advertising this contest on other sites with the intention to gain more votes (whether it is explicitly stated or not), and so on. If you are suspected of cheating, the staff will notify you and interrogate you (hopefully) over PMs. <3​

Woah definitely Pyra. I love the details and his color choices.

 

[D a w n]

felt in love woth l0w's UI

 

[Zealon]

67chrome's is my favorite.

Pyramidh@d's UI was great. It had all the required features, didn't look too plain and it followed a nice theme. My only concerns are that the cyan rust looks kind of strange, at least to me, and that it doesn't seem very useful. Also, there seems to be a problem with the minimap. A few rows of black pixels show up on the corners(you should've covered them).

Tr!KzZ's UI is awesome as well, but the distracting dragons, the plain inventory cover, and the fact there are literally no inventory holders\icons(it's just blank space) downgrade this UI for me.

Kwaliti's UI was simply awesome. It fits a good theme, it has a lot of details, it looks very polished and overall awesome. The only problem I noticed was the icy 'command buttons'. They just distract the eye a lot, they were rather sketchy-looking, and they were bigger than actual buttons. I think it would've been best if those were left black, as they are just plain ugly, to me at least.

67chrome's UI was cool, but sort of messy and blurry. The primary stat area was especially messy, as well as the area that is usually black when you select a group of units. The command button covers were better than Kwaliti's, but I think it still would've been better if you left them black with some sort of border separating them. The black outline was just plain ugly, and made the UI look a lot worse than it actually was.

On a side note, 67chrome's UI was the most annoying one to get to work in-game.

My vote goes to Kwaliti. Good job to all competitors, and I really think everyone did an awesome job, but I do like Kwaliti's UI more than the others. It's just personal preference. A close 2nd would've been Pyramidhe@d, for me.

Kwaliti and Tr!kzZ are nearly evenly matched in awesomeness.
Tr!kzZ's UI is very original and his execution is astounding.
However I choose Kwaliti's UI, because its execution is equally awesome and its concept is more related to Warcraft.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Voted for Tr!KzZ. I still find it amusing, but also, I still detest the inventory cover ^^

 

[Tr!KzZ]

Thanks for your opinions, sadly I had no time to edit it further.. especially the Inventory Cover.. Thought about some shiny eyes that look at you from that dark cave.. but ended kinda strang :/

(Gonna upload a edited version with inventorycover and icon slots in the skin section)

Good Luck to all participants!! Nice UI's so far

 

[Jaret]

'twas either 67chrome or pyramidhe@d for me... But i picked 67chrome, since I love Symphony of the night, and very awesomenelly executed... And I'm pretty sure if he put up screenies like the rest did, he'd get more votes... People are too f***ing lazy to view it in game, that's for sure.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

trikzz how is this possible, your behind? with that UI you should be first. Omg dude... i love it. Thats all i have to say. Great avatar btw, im a FF fan myself.

 

[Shrakkor]

I like texture made by Kwaliti - the empty abilities slots looks very nice to me
And...I like ice and frozen things so Voted for Kwaliti

 

[AlterEgo]

Tr!KzZ. Used his interface for the project.)

 

[-Kobas-]

Damn guys I would like to vote for all of you

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Hmmm this contest will be stressful, because everyone will win but 1 person.

 

[Deolrin]

You're not a winner unless you have the first place.
2nd and 3rd places are considered 'runner ups'.
Then again, from a more sportive point of view, everyone's a winner, and especially the last place, for at least trying and doing something.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

you all should get first place imo. The fact that you signed up and followed through and finished with a really nice UI.

 

[DemoX]

Voted for Pyramidhe@d's, because there was no inventory-cover like in 67chrome and Tr!KzZ (but they were still great), and most of required things were done.

 

[Deolrin]

Uh, Kwaliti had a proper inventory cover too.

 

[-Kobas-]

Ok I vote for 67chrome he has the lowest score for now!

 

[GhostThruster]

Pyramidhe@d: Looks really sexy, but too 'edgy', especially at the top, where it is just a straight line, as if you cut off a part of the texture.

Tr!KzZ: This is actually quite artistic, however, it doesn't really fit in Warcraft 3, and it is kind of in my opinion too cartoony(though this is deliberate, I assume).

Kwaliti: Absolutely awesome...except for the inventory and ability slots. They look just wierd, like the ice is overflowing.

67chrome: Very, very, very detailed. It is excellent, but it kinda needs more 'fijazz', like adding some sexy new things, but it is just rows of purple stalatites.

Overall, I have to go with Kwaliti. The only thing I disliked was the slots, but that's minor. Good job to everyone however.

 

[Dionesiist]

Can this poll just end already? :|

[NiX_GR_]

I guess we can all say that Kwaliti nailed it! D

 

[Dionesiist]
