Guild or No Guild?

Final Results

Hey, everyone.

Okay, yes, that wasn't dramatic enough.

YO GUYS WHAT'S UP AND WELCOME BACK TO THE GUILD OF GRAPHICS! TODAY, WE PRESENT TO YOU THE RESULTS OF GUILD OR NO GUILD. 

So. We said this was a competition that was going to be held in April. It's almost July. 

Creds to all of you for sticking with it, though. We appreciate you endlessly. 

Over the past two months, contestants have been battling it out to be crowned the - 

"Crowned the what?" 

"Guild-est?" 

"No, that's overrated and we're not basic." 

"EXCUSE ME DID YOU JUST CALL US OVERRATED? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW -"

"We really didn't think this through, did we."

- no! We didn't! Anyway, yes, how about the victor? Let's go with that. 

"We're not basic. Definitely." 

First, everyone set fire to ships - yes, we know what you thought of our prompt - and come on, guys. With your aptitude for doing that I don't think any of us want to go near any of you if you have a fire lighter handy. Which reminds me - did we replace the fire hydrant in the Guild house after what happened last time? 

Then in Round 2, we had random prompts, and you made light bulb and brain advertisements (which was a very bright idea) and posters with Comic Sans and professional logos. What a great combination, we know. 

And you advertised an art gallery.

Please pretend I said something very witty there.

Round 4 saw wallpapers, a full-on WEBPAGE for the Guild (you lot have mad talent), minion posters we sadly never saw, light covers called "We Fall Apart" and other insane stuff that you didn't fail to stun us with. Round 4 was a close one. 

And now we're on Round 5, but I think I should waffle some more.

I mean, this is a big moment, right? 

Round 5 was a close one too.

As part of Round 5, contestants had to submit a compilation of all their entries so far, and this was taken into account for the final scores. Your votes were almost the same as ours. 

But come on, everyone's a winner. Even the party parrots. And the rainbow sheep. Most of the time. Sometimes. Okay, maybe none of the time, but just the rainbow sheep. 

In Round 5, we had 5 contestants who all had the same prompt: Make a duology with the theme of humanity vs technology. And, with how amazing the entries were, it'd be nice if we could pick all of them. 

Respect is due to all of the contestants, no matter what stage you got up to. A special mention to YusraUsman95 and Azanthiel for getting up to the final round. Comment your appreciation! 

And now for the results.

*insert drum roll*

*insert party parrots* 

*insert a party parrot wave because that's WAY cooler than normal party parrots but don't tell the rest of the Guild I said that. It's also cooler than Slackie. Please tell him I said that.*
