I am not trying to be lazy here, but my reasons for voting for the following people are pretty much the same for all of them and I don't want to sound like a broken record just repeating the same thing over and over again. I usually go by a person's use of colors, how clean their sig looks, it's composition, and in some cases originality.

Time to critique everyone's sigs and make people feel bad. I'm gonna mortalkombat2007 up in this shit!

Love: CHAOS_FANTAZY's was cool but isn't really in a sig type size. It was clever though. My vote goes to Wulfon, because even though it's a bunch of cliche crap thrown into a sig (many of which look like tattoos you'd expect to see on some tanned bimbo's body) it's extremely clean and well designed.

Rage: Superman64 gets my vote. It's extremely clean looking and while it doesn't "personify rage" it does a good job of looking nice and if you're familiar with the film it makes a bit more sense. Darkseid was a runner-up, although the "white" around the render is hard to tell if it was intentional or not or if it fits with the rest of the sig, maybe if it was light red, however the red swirls paid off in that sig.

Happiness: I don't want to sound like a jerk but I will anyways... "awesome face" was totally overdone in this thread, so they're all immediately disqualified in my eyes as being candidates. Wulfon wins by default for having a nice clean, well designed, and humorous sig.

Sadness: EaterOfSouls does a really good job using text/quote as the focal point of his image. The font choice was really well done. You don't see many people focusing on fonts, etc. I may have voted for Superman 64 if it was something less silly for a reason behind death, because I think it was a really well done sig. It just didn't fit the theme.

Green: Not going to lie Wulfon all the way with this. It puts everyones sigs to shame, many of which feel as if someone made them grayscale and then put a single green color overlay over them (myself included with my font transparency.) I think the challenge was a lot more interesting sounding than it turned out to be. Wulfon pulled it off wonderfully.

Movement: I want to vote for aliceandsven but that's more like a movie than an animated sig. Same with Darkseid's. Indomitus easily gets my vote, although I'm not sure how much of that is originally created vs. isn't. Sometimes I think people get "movement" confused with "mini-movie clip", I've fallen into that trap once or twice myself. Wulfon had a solid idea, it was just hard to tell that he was moving UP because he always stayed stationary on the sig.

Gift: thecatreturns123 gets my vote. It's very simple and clean. Darkseid is a close runner up though, it just feels a bit cluttered. I'm glad to see he followed my "a bobo sig gets all the votes" strategy though, well played.

Render: Superman64 is one of the few people who did something with the render aside from haphazardly slapping it in there and/or putting it in some MS-Paint bonanza. Wulfon's was nice but too much was going on and the text was hard to read.

If you're wondering about Hal up there, the image I used had a white outline. I would just render it out....but the blood puking from his mouth had the outline too and brought a whole mess of issues.

Love: Wulfon
Pretty interesting design choices following the theme. Feels like kinda new age'y valentine card or something, I like it.

Rage: Darkseid
Wow, if red is the color of anger, then yes it follows it well. I kinda feel the white outline around character saves it from drowning out in the background.

Happiness: Wulfon
A nice & colorful design with some fun quirkiness.

Sadness: Link
The style in the piece is perfect, the out-faded colors and the noir feeling. There is like a heaviness in air of it.

Green: Gregieboy
I like the very sharp graphics and that tech'y style. It has lot of details, yet doesn't feel cluttered.

Movement: Link
Great use of effects for the horror & disturbed feeling. Very fitting elements with the pentagram and the barb-wiring.

Gift: Superman64
Nice & crispy graphics a la' Superman64, they always impressive me. Simple yet genius take on a username.

Pic Challenge: Superman64
Good use of an odd picture, it actually fits the silliness of the"classic" joke card style.

@Link: I animated it all in Flash and used renders from the Syndicate games, a fan-art piece and concept of "Neo Tokyo", I believe. The whole thing is heavily inspired by the menu system in the Syndicate games.
