We have a winner in the We Hunted the Mammoth Banner Contest!
Well, two winners, actually. And they are:
Dani, who designed several variations of a banner which will soon become the banner of We Hunted the Mammoth. I actually haven’t quite decided which of these to use, but I like them all, and it will be one of them! (Tell me which one you like best in the comments.)
Leocigale, who did the awesome cartoon below. Even though it’s not, technically speaking, a banner, I plan to use it on We Hunted the Mammoth as well. So Leocigale is also the winner!
Well, we all are, really.
Dani and Leocigale will split the cash prize of $100.
Well, actually, it might be a bit more than that: a few people made donations during the contest and didn’t leave a note specifying whether they were for the contest or not. If you were one of them, and you want your money to go to the contest winners, email me and I’ll add it to the prize. Once I get that sorted out, I’ll post an updated number here, and a breakdown of the donations in the comments below (I will break them down anonymously, of course).
Thanks to everyone who submitted entries! There was a lot of awesome artwork to choose from.
EDITED TO ADD: The cash prize ended up being … $170!
I like second or third.
Loved one next to me says second.
I like the first one the best.
Do we know what the new url will be?
The first one is my favorite as well.
I don’t know if I’m just really suggestible but I also vote for #1.
Good work everybody 🙂
First is easiest to read, second is meh, third feels the most epic but isn’t as easy to read as the first
I think I prefer the second; and kudos to both (one thing and another, this is the first I knew details of the switch).
I reallly like the second; it has the most epic going on to me.
Btw, David, have you received my E-mail about “The Amazing MRA”? That misogynistic bastard needs a taste of (social) justice.
What damselindetech said. I do like the last one but the first one is probably the best choice. Congrats guys!
The last one has a certain grandiosity to it that is artistically appropriate for the subject portrayed.
@gundamlagannz
You mean The Amazing Athiest? What has that idiot said this time?
I like the first one the best. Congrats Dani and Leocigale! Great work.
First one looks more professional, – but that last one adds just a bit of ironic self-important oomph, it’s a solid choice as well.
I also prefer the first banner.
The first one’s my favorite. I think the “ironic” part of the last one’s ironic self-importance might be too easily lost. They are, however, all awesome ^_^.
I like the first and the third, and I agree with what was said about the third being a bit more difficult to read.
So I guess the first 😛
Awwwww … I was really hoping to see a mammoth wearing a fedora. 🙁
Awesome! Congrats to both of them!
I like 1! And the cartoon, which is epic beyond all reckoning. That face!
@Skelita
Yeah, The Amazing Atheist.
Well, I came across some videos he recently published that are essentially anti-feminist and women-bashing tripe.
To be more specific, I’m referring to these videos:
*TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Violence and Rape Culture*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irAa7HumWPI – “False Rape Accusations Are Real”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCQGipPWEo – “Only Feminists Get Trolled!?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpVLXMJCynM – “Evil Racist Stephen Colbert Takes Over Late Show! #ColbertToTheMoon”
There’s also a video in which he criticized the idea of rape culture, so he’s basically active in denying rape culture. However, that video is somewhat old, though. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KQQ1bzQn0k)
Since David is very skilled in the arts of kicking the Manosphere to the curb, I hoped he could expose and destroy his bullshit. It’s really harmful what the Amazing Atheist spouts as his claims that “BUT this science article claims that 40 percent of rape accusations are FALSE!” cloud and ignore the matter that’s the most important: the ACTUAL victimization of men and women that’s larger than the amount of false accusations.
Also, that video in which he reads through rationalwiki and deny Rape Culture, is despicable. I almost had the urge to drink alcohol.
My vote is for #2. – http://manboobz.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/demoimagev4.png?w=600&h=456
I have a preference for #1 myself. 🙂
Does that mean that the URL’s going to change too?
The title should be “We huntered the Mammoth”. Seems a little more fitting, considering the target audience. 🙂
Thanks, everyone!
Yeah, the url will change, to WeHuntedTheMammoth.com. But the old manboobz.com urls should still all work as well.
(I know the new one is a bit longer, but I wasn’t able to find a shorter one that made sense and that was still available. Most people come here from links or bookmarks, so they won’t be typing it in all the time.)
I like the third one for sheer overblown absurdity, myself.
