SOTW Themes (New)

Chiefblackhammer · Jun 28, 2007, 07:44 PM

Ok, I have decided to revamp this thread listing the current suggestions and for the "ease" of finding them! You may suggest new themes but be sure to adhere to the rules of the thread per DB:

Please list your suggestions in this thread and some ideas to help boost or sell your suggested theme. Do not just post a 1 word suggestion. Please give reasons as to why you would like to see this theme appear in the upcoming SOTW. Thank you.

Now here are the current suggested themes! I may have modified them for length and I may have broadened the theme(s) suggested. If your idea is not listed it is because I felt it already fit a previously suggested theme. Likewise I took them first come first serve in terms of WHO suggested what so no complaining.

1) Freedom

2) Giant Robots
3) Maids
4) Girls
5) Space
6) Nature
7) Cooking/Food
8) Sports
9) Specific Anime Titles and/or Characters

11) Gizmos

12) Animals
13) Neko

17) Life's Little Wonders

Quote:

You know, the little things in life that people ususally don't spend the time to appreciate. And the things people take advantage of. Like, a sunny day, a rainy day, the butterflies and ladybugs, the ants on an ant hill - their own colony. Those are only a few ideas.

18) Rivals/conflict
19) Final battle
20) Life (the good and/or bad things of it)
21) Memories

Quote:

22) Specific Pic/Render

Quote:

Another idea, how 'bout the winner chooses a specific pic/render and we have to work off of that?

23) Songs
24) Books
25) Poems

Quote:

26) Misery
27) Halloween
28) Time
29) Insanity
30) Seasons
31) Chibi

Quote:

Originally Posted by FLawEdmiNd

32) Flowers

Quote:

Originally Posted by Pyro_psyco

33) Movies
34) Real life images
35) People
36) Free choice/style

Quote:

41) Simplicity

Quote:

Simplicity being a raindrop on a rose [in black & white], or a close up of the texture of the road. An individual in a crowd on the streets of NY, holding an umbrella or something. [Again, it could be in Black and White.]

42) Things of importance

Quote:

43) Favorite AO mod!

Quote:

44) Ocean/Beach

Quote:

Originally Posted by Shinku no kage

｢夏だ!!海だ!!｣と言う事でテーマは｢夏｣!? "The summer!! The ocean!!", so hows 'bout "Summer" for the theme!? A pic of the big blue sea, fun in the summer sun, and all that other good stuff y'know?

45) Girls with Guns

Quote:

An idea from my failed SOTW entry. "Girls with Guns". Nyahahahah. (=w=)

46) Video Games/Companies

Quote:

Originally Posted by DEMON SPAWN

what about video games? that would make an interesting theme.

47) Angels

Quote:

Originally Posted by KuwiRules145

This may be a stupid idea but I think angels! I love angels and I know their so beautiful indeed! Or summer!!!!!! Summer indeed!

48) Explosions/Fireworks
49) Cosplay

Quote:

Originally Posted by halo3master

i like to blow things up hows about fireworks or a funny sig like naruto playing as saska in a naruto game something like that. pretty sure there are some better one than that

50) AO themed

Quote:

Originally Posted by HolderOfTheDarkChalice

this might not make much since to most but why not an AO themed sig contest to show a sig that best represents AO and all that it has to offer. i mean all these ideas are good but no one has brung up an idea for AO its self that would be intresting to see

51) Sweets
52) Joker/Jester

Quote:

Originally Posted by Mr. K

o.o Has sweets been a theme(?) I mean like candy or cupcakes, fruits Got another. How about the "Joker/Jester"

*Ky-lyrra* · Jun 28, 2007, 08:14 PM

How about since it is almost 4th of July something to do with Fireworks? Though I know not everyone is from the US. Though I just love the Fireworks idea.

Edit: I know that is why I suggested the 4th of July.

It was already suggested as part of # 48. Personally I would like to see the themes of Samurai/Warriors or Cars/vehicles.

*Abu Dhabi* · Jun 28, 2007, 08:37 PM

how about a theme of friends? not just anime or whatever, but a sig about your friends in everyday life? maybe even about your friends on AO?

^_^ i think it would add a more personal touch to the cliche topic of "friends"

*dude101* · Jun 29, 2007, 07:40 AM

here's just a thought, but how about doin a sci-fi themed sig. something with a space background, or something along those lines. i always loved watching the stars.

oh and speaking of stars u could always do a celebrity themed one as well, but i'm not a big fan of celebrities.

Chiefblackhammer · Jun 29, 2007, 08:17 AM

I am making a new rule for this thread.

Rule:
READ THE PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED THEMES BEFORE SUGGESTING SOMETHING.

I am going to start deleting posts and handing out infractions to those who are buffing their post count suggesting stuff already listed. I mean I made it easy, it is all listed in 1 post and numbered. C'mon people.

*equinn* · Jun 29, 2007, 09:19 AM

ok but u can still agree with other members ideas tho right ....????

but yeah i would like something to do with sumer and what not hat about sesions .... soo if u anted to do fireworks u would do oct ( halloween)Ky-lyrra

Chiefblackhammer · Jun 29, 2007, 09:42 AM

The thread's purpose is to provide "suggestions" for the SOTW winner or DB to pick from. I don't see where "agreeing" or "disagreeing" with someone's suggestion is a viable post here. Since it is up to the SOTW winner or DB what the theme is, why would it matter if you liked the theme someone else suggested? If you don't like the themes, then suggest something "better" and maybe the person picking will choose yours. Bad themes simply won't be picked, end of story. No need for anyone's "approval" or agreement. That only serves to clutter the thread and make the suggestions harder to find.

Thus it is suggestions (Not already suggested) or nothing.

I also thought about the theme since there is a number of GIMP users and a number of PS users…and even some who use others; maybe the theme could be Program vs Program, meaning that the sig must promote GIMP or PS or what ever program you use. The sigs would only contain something that showed the superior nature of that program. (Your best sig is not what I am talking about) I mean sig would have to have the program you use’s name in it somewhere and it must show the range of abilities of the program (filters, smudging, blending, layers, etc…)
