Not what I voted for :( But still good ;)
Because Derpy will always be our overall Best Pony <3
I couldn't vote Number 12 any harder X3
I liked # 32 much better.
Hooray for Derpy!
I voted for it :D Because Derpy rules!
Yeah, I kinda could see, even just a hour or so after the post that #12 had it in that bag.
I still voted for #4, though. :P
Congratulations!
Derpy wins by a landslide :D
Surprised it wasn't LUNA, but well deserved.
It was between 12 and 20 for mep
Aw, congratulations to Pasha Pup! I thought this banner was very cute! ^__^
voted for this one :D
I really liked 20 (the one submitted by anon) but this was my second choice. after I submitted my votes last night when there was less then a 1000 votes in I could already tell this one was going to win. It already had twice as many votes ans anything else. That kind of trend is hard to upset.
Congrats PashaPup
Fricking Derpy, man.
I know I'm a bit late but, Happy Halloween everyone!
Congrats number 12 to making first place. :)
I liked all of them in some way so no matter the choice i'd have liked it though this was one of my favourites.
I was rooting for #20 but alas.
Derpy wins all!
Aw, I liked 16, but I guess derpy kept hitting the keyboard again and again so she won!
It was a toss-up between twilight's delivery service and this one for me! Although I liked most of the others too!
Kinda had to choose between 12 14 and 20, went for 12 just cause it look so sweet & win.
I have never understood the masses fascination with this "voting" thing. Isn't is just easier if auntie just tells everyone what to think?
Congrats to PashaPup for the win, and thanks for creating such an adorable and well-themed banner!
Also, thanks to everyone else who contributed a banner, and all those who voted and gave nods to their favorites... I like that everyone got some love and was appreciated for their efforts!
And I think the board should definitely do a another themed banner contest for the Christmas/Holiday season. I loved seeing the new entries go up throughout October... Which leads to the final thanks to Seth and everyone at EQD who sorted through all those entries and shared 'em with us.
This place is a blast.
Yeah, I like Miyazaki movies as much as the next guy, but with 12, it was hardly a contest.
I can't believe #23 didn't win... D:
And from these statistics, I can conclude...
(imma conclude my own way)
The majority of bronies these days prefer art that features the reason why we all like MLP in first place; the CUTENESS, the ANIMATION, the [insertwhatyoulikeaboutMLP]. These statistics also indicate that certainly, Derpy is best pony (I'm not much of a Derpy fan) or maybe that currently she is possibly the canonically(am I using the write word?)cutest whilst featuring in very nice art. also Today, it seems, bronies have left behind the more 'classic' Halloween (e.g. Nightmare Before Christmas, amirite?) and also some more 'modern' styles of creeping the bejesus out of people(e.g. [inserthorrormoviehere]), which in my opinion is what Halloween is all about these days, but i've come to realize that it was all a "Nope, Chuck Testa" meme I was seeing. I'm not a Derpy fan myself (Twilightisbestpony) but I can definitely understand the logic behind it. These statistics and current trends was certainly what I feared when my making my banner (#24 on the 3rd Banner Update), but this, is certainly not a bad piece of art, and this is certainly not a bad thing. I was rooting for #1, but either way, my congratulations PashaPup!
and btw, why is my EqD background black? it doesn't suit the banner.
I guess it makes sense that the Derpy banner should win, her being the Fandom mascot and all..
I knew it would win before anyone voted for it.
I figured this one would win since it was ahead from pretty early on even. It's not the one I voted on, but definitely one of my favorites still. :)
A Christmas banner contest would probably be well-received too. Plus, many awesome pony and Christmas-themed banners.
You have to ask if there's interest in a winter holiday banner? Seriously?
(Winter holiday == catch-all term for Winter Moon Festival, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Dar of Ashura, Winter Solstice, Bodhi Day, Agnostica, Festivus, and any other December/early-January-based holidays I may have missed.)
Yes! Last night when I voted for #12 and saw that huge line I knew Derpy would win it. I did love the Twilight's Delivery Service too. Too bad we can't have a banner that changes on every page load with the top faves. *hinthint*
I'd be all over a Christmas contest like this, maybe even make it a regular holiday feature! :D
Wished one of the Pinkamena ones would've won, but I can't complain about Dinky and Derpy, love that pair. :D
You all forgot to click on 6
I absolutely loved this banner from the first time I saw it, and I happily voted for it.
A well deserved victory PashaPup!
Happy Nightmare Night everypony.
Although I voted for a different one, this one was a close contender and not unhappy with it.
Now, if it had been Derpy's Delivery Service instead of Twilight's (and a better character fit)... but it wasn't. :-(
Kudos to you PashaPup. Gratz.
I dunno, I still think #14 was pretty awesome.
But 16 was so freaking cute! Shame on you all for not voting for it! Kidding of course, I'm very happy the winner was a hand drawn image. Great Job.
@Blueblood
Where's the fun in that, prince?
I was all about #13, but I have absolutely no qualms about Pashapup taking it.
Congrats!
Yeah! The one I voted for won! I just love the Pumpkin head bit.
Who wants to start on the Winter themed banners now?
@Tundra
I'm not entirely certain what fun has to do with it, but it's definitely more orderly.
I voted for it because I loved how much it looked like it was out of an illustrated children's storybook.
It reminds me a lot of the art in a halloween-themed children's book I had as a little boy. That has sentimental value.
Plus, Derpy is basically the symbol or mascot of the Brony fandom. We all know the story of how we, the fans, noticed her and celebrated her early on, and how Studio B changed her to always be wall-eyed despite it originally being an animation error. Everybody knows Derpy is THE pony to keep an eye looking out for (pun unintended) in every episode. Jayson himself thinks of her like that!
So glad it won.
PashaPup won? Awesome =D. Rock on with your bad self, dude!
Grats PashaPup. You've earned it.
Didn't win, but i made it to the final votings and got 150 votes and a top spot on the finalist post :3
I think that itself is quite an achievement. Thanks for the competition EqD!
Wooooooooooo GO DERPY!
I loved #31 xD
19. Cause Fluttershys as Alice made me Dawwws.
Where was the vOte at?
ew derpy hooves? seriously?
Woo! They were all great. I did love the Twilight's Delivery Service one, but Ditzy-doo's banner was just too perfect for the night.
And like someone else said above, she is kinda the fandom's mascot.
Would have loved to see that delivery service one again :3 That Twi was adorable. But, yeah, Ditzy is our "mascot" of sorts. Not to mention, it's more halloweeny than the delivery service one, imo.
yes! I was super hoping that this one would win!
Yay! Derpy seriously deserved it!
Yay I made third! That makes me so happy! Thanks everypony!
Of course Derpy one, she's our mascot, and as far as I know, she's the only character to level-up from background-filler to once-an-episode gag-machine on nothing but fan-fuel and an animator's inside joke.
She is a testament to the power of fans, without us, she'd be nothing, without her, we'd... probably not be as epic a fanbase without one universally-adored character like her.
Further, Fanon becoming Canon, when the fuck does that happen? Tell me?!
I was also a fan of Twi's delivery service, but oh well. All the banners were wonderful, and the Derpy one definitely deserved the win!
Big fan of Studio Ghibli here, but it was obvious it wasn't gonna win unfortunately. It was a pretty awesome banner. Deserves one more showing methinks.
@Chaos Knux
I was told Dr. Whooves was spotted wearing a Tom Baker scarf. The Doctor Who famous for wearing a big friggin' scarf, in Nightmare Night.
I also find it interesting we see Derpy/Ditzy and Dinky prominently in the same episode. Especially since Dinky is wearing a firepony outfit (Sunset fanon continuity, anyone?)
someone messed with the link of the tpo of the page. just thought about letting know BUT i totally agree that Twilight Sparkle is the best pony
I agree, Twilight is best pony AND cheshire cat. Even though I voted for the CMC +Rarity banner(#25 i think) Trying to give some love to one of the banners that didn't get featured before Halloween.
Oh well, Derpy and Dinky are still cute.
The one that won IS excellent, I don't want to take away from that...
BUT, don't you think featuring certain banners on the main page BEFORE the vote began gives an extremely unfair advantage to those entries?
Just sayin'...if you plan to have a "contest" it might be slightly fairer to not give a handful of the entries a huge edge of exposure several days before voting begins.
Why is there a link to this called "twilight is best pony"? That is a LIE.
There were so many wonderful banners...it was really hard to choose. The winner wasn't what I voted for, but I still like it. :) I say a big round of applause for all the banners and the artists who worked on them!
Clicked the link out of curiousity;;
>definitely not because it said twilight is best pony
>/scrunchface
Really did like the twilight one, especially since I couldn't find the original anywhere.
Does the artist have no actual site source? They're too good not to;
NO! it's Luna who's the best pony! ;)
I guess it's like pinkie said. "She's the cutest smartest all around best pony! Pony!"
Personally I like Pinkie... But I like Twilight too. I really couldn't decide between them.
you seemed to have misspelt fluttershy in the link. i mean fluttershy doesnt even have a t, w, i, g or a h in it :S
Rainbow Dash is the best pony end of argument...
Rainbow Douche is not best Pony :<
Just kidding, every Pony is awesome. Could we agree on that?
FUTTERSHY PONE IS DE BEST PONE
%ponyname% is the best pony.
Yay! I'm best pony!
The funny thing is, even though banner # 12 won, it only won 21% of the votes. That means 4,956 (79%) bronies didn't feel like it was the best banner. Majority vote is flawed but it's the best thing humans have come up with.
I would have also voted for banner # 12 anyway though ^^
yea i like derpy, but im with seth on this one because iv always been a fan of miyazakis movies. and that one was unexpected to see too!
I'm so proud of you, Sweetheart!!!! Congrats, Yay!! <3
