ReplyDeleteNo fair wackyteen.
ReplyDeleteWell, Kinda second, third nonetheless
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got first twice before ;)

ReplyDelete"You gotta try this pole!"
Number 30
ReplyDeleteBah, I'm stuck between 16 and 28 >.>
ReplyDeleteAny chance you can modify the post or otherwise paint the background to match the EQD colors, so we can see the transparency better?
ReplyDeleteOh wow theres so many, I wish I could vote for more than one :(
ReplyDelete#12, 29, and 30. 'Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteNumber 9!
ReplyDeletelove 7. voted for that.
ReplyDeleteNumber 10
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently I've said too much. Gonna go with 12, though.

ReplyDeleteCANNOT
ReplyDeleteDECIDE
Why are they all so amazing? .___.
25
ReplyDeleteNumber 15 for the win!
ReplyDeleteI see Trixie is now posting these eh.
ReplyDelete#30! Big Mac <3
ReplyDelete23, Totally 23.
ReplyDelete#4 is kinds haunting but #19 is an awesome crossover. hmmm...
ReplyDeleteThere are so many awesome banners here... I hope some of the ones that haven't been used on the actual board still get a chance sometime.
ReplyDelete12. Just 12. NONE MORE.
ReplyDeleteWat.
ReplyDelete14
ReplyDeleteHard to choose, they're all really good. It's going to take a while to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh man, 7 is really great, although I'd love to see a variation where Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night was in NMM's mane. But it doesn't feel quite right to be a banner.
ReplyDeleteMy next vote would have gone to 16 because LUNA KAIWAII DESU~! But that's already had its time as a banner.
So that leaves me stuck between 1 and 4. Coin flip time.
I see Trixie is posting these now, eh. Also, #19.
ReplyDelete#4 is definitely my favorite one.
ReplyDeleteChange the poll radio buttons to checkboxes; then we can do this poll Russian style! :)
ReplyDeleteProportional representation!
22 cuz octavia. derpy is close second, but octavia wins
ReplyDelete12 is best banner.
ReplyDeleteNo contest in my books, #12 is just too funny. :D
ReplyDeleteTrixie decided to use chrome because its way easier for these.
ReplyDelete15 is still the best because Miyazaki rocks.
ReplyDelete29
ReplyDeleteNumber 23. That Trixie is just too awesome.
ReplyDelete#22... What im a sucker for discord related things
ReplyDelete#11: OF COURSE APPLEJACK WOULD THE ONLY PONY NOT INCLUDED >:I
ReplyDelete19, definitely. When it was up a few days ago I geeked out at how high quality it was. It may even be one of the best banners EqD has ever had, Halloween or not.
ReplyDelete9? 12? 17? WHY CANT I DECIDE?!?!
ReplyDelete13, 15 and 31... Can't chooooseeee. Ok, ok, 15.
ReplyDeleteI picked 25, just because it was a cute pic of the CMC and Rarity made it pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are great though, so congrats to all the artists who made these.
So far 37 people have missed the 19 button and hit 20 instead.
ReplyDelete12 was always the best one. 'Nuff said
ReplyDelete@SIaanme
ReplyDeleteFor a Neo Princess Luna one, perhaps
Looks like 12 is going to win this, guys.
ReplyDelete16 is SOOOOOOOOOO cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my Celestia, mine made the finalists?! :D
ReplyDeleteI like how several of these completely missed that they're supposed to go on a "black or Luna-blue" background. #31 disappears completely when I user-css the post background to black!
ReplyDelete@Baron
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow none of them saw the "Change your vote" button. How strange.
As soon as I saw Pinkamina in #1 and what she was wearing, she stole my heart as she stole my vote.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to find which one of these pies she put it in. I kinda sorta need it...
29 all the way.
ReplyDelete22 is so good XD
ReplyDelete20!
ReplyDeleteOh COME ON! 20 is my favourite and the author is buckin' ANONYMOUS?!
ReplyDeletenot sure if 22 or 16...
ReplyDeleteNumber 26 should say, "Batmare: Mask of the Equestrian" not "Mask of Equestria"
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, oh boy... some really darn good ones. It's so hard to choose just one. The ones that catch my interest the most are #1, 12, 14, 22, 28, 29, 30 and 33. But if I really -must- choose only one, I'm going to go with #22. Yes, I know, because it's Octavia. lol That's part of it, I won't lie. But I think it's also well-made too.
ReplyDeleteNot enough love for 15
ReplyDelete32 and 9 are the best
ReplyDeleteBatman is best pony
ReplyDelete35...Lil Miss Rarity FTW
ReplyDeleteUh, bit too close to call.
ReplyDeleteI'll give them another look tomorrow morning and see if I can decide then.
I vote 29. Nightmare before Christmas is awfully fitting on most north easterners very first white Halloween.
ReplyDelete19 and 27 are both really well done but the derpy one will win just because its derpy
ReplyDeleteYay! 12 is winning :)
ReplyDelete>le me scrolling through the finalists
ReplyDelete>"My banner isn't going to be here, these other ones are so much better than mine could ever have hoped to be"
>Reach last banner, it's mine
>CerealGuySpitTake.jpg
That's made my night! All of the hours I spent drawing it have all been proven to have been worth it.
26 all the way
ReplyDeleteWhoa the banners were not the same when I just checked 5 minutes ago. I like 14 out of all of these, but my favorite was the Slendermane one back in the first set. Where is the Slendermane love everypony?!
ReplyDelete12 is good but, does it deserve to win...? hmmm not so sure..
ReplyDeleteWell I voted #24 anyway because I adored that show as a kid.
It's missing this one
ReplyDeletehttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K2NKMgzRztw/TpufOxgsrfI/AAAAAAAAOf4/GfftV4NxWx0/s1600/mlp_fim___equestria_ghostly_by_fadri-d4cu586.png
I am going 11 because Its different but my guess 12 is going to win
ReplyDelete12, it's adorable!
ReplyDelete#14 #14 #14 #14 #14 #14 #14
ReplyDelete@Jake Smith
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly quite flattered with the love #15 has received. I always knew that the source material made for a (sadly) obscure reference, so I never expected it to compete in the voting, but it's nice that the people who love the film got a smile from the ponified nod.
I'm torn between 9, 16, 22 and 26.
ReplyDelete'Course, I'm being biased.
Heh... On an unrelated note, Al Michaels just declared it was "Nightmare Night for the Cowboys" on Sunday Night Football. Likely a coincidence, but it made my ears perk up.
ReplyDelete3, it's a ghost busters homage.

ReplyDeleteseriously..12 is stealing it?!?!?!?!...
ReplyDelete#1 or #15!!!!!!
I copied and pasted all the banners onto a blue background like the one on EQD, hope this helps:
ReplyDeletehttp://eqbanners.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-banner-compilation.html
Having problems with compression....
15,16, or 23
ReplyDeletefor me it's 15,24, or 27. Leaning toward 15 though, love that movie!
ReplyDeleteI like #12; it gives off a very winnie-the-pooh-does-halloween sort of vibe.
ReplyDelete#23!
ReplyDeleteDat Twixie.
UGH... this is HARD!
ReplyDeleteI'm undecided to whether I like 1, 14, or 26 the best. Decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm just gonna go with 12 because it's fitting and it has Ditzy and Dinky in it. You can never go wrong with those two.
ReplyDeleteMan, terribly tough decision. It was a toss-up between #12 and #19, but I eventually went with #12. Just so perfect - very Halloweeny, but at the same time it retains the charm and light-heartedness of the show.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, #12 reminds me of Kanga and Roo from winnie the pooh.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites were 7, 12, 19, 20, and 28. It was really hard to choose but in the end I voted for 20 because it has our Mane 6 + Spike, clean readable text, makes references directly to episodes, and is just fun and lighthearted like the show and the community as a whole :) Happy Halloween everypony.
ReplyDeleteThe Soul Eater one is pretty cool, but I think they got it all wrong. Twilight would totally be Maka. Spike should be Soul. Rainbow Dash should, definately, be Black Star. Fluttershy should be Tsubaki. Rarity would be Death the Kid. That's just how it is. Pinkie would be the younger Thompson sister, and Applejack would be the older Thompson sister. Not trying to get down on the artist. It's a cool idea. I just think that those character placements would fill suit, a bit better.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to vote for 23 out of Trixie bias
ReplyDelete17 is a nice reference to an episode
But ultimately 7 gets my vote
in the spirit of love and tolerance, i say all these banners are winners and they all go up at the same time!
ReplyDelete31 all the way across the sky
ReplyDeleteThey're all good, but the only spooky or semi-spooky one that grabs me is #7, and there's several cute/funny ones I like better. For me, it's a toss-up between #12 and #15, and since it looks like #12 is running away with the vote, I'm giving a bit more love to #15.
ReplyDeleteWell looks like #31 probably ain't gonna cut it but still I'm in support of 12 Derpy ftw
ReplyDeleteYessss, #12 is a clear lead!
ReplyDeleteDERPY IS BEST PONY
12 is so awesome and would be my #1 choice if it hadn't already been featured...I also like 7, 9 and 14 but what to choose...
ReplyDelete18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18, damnit
ReplyDelete*cough*22hasOctavia&Scratch*coughcough*InstaWin*cough*
ReplyDeleteI can only vote for one? :<
ReplyDelete#16
ReplyDeleteBecause I wuv woona
19 8D
ReplyDelete31 because ponies.
ReplyDelete#16 because "Luna Goggles" :P
ReplyDelete#20
ReplyDeleteBecause...
I felt like it. Moep.
#20 is the one I think I'd pick
ReplyDeleteThese are all great but I'm going to try to vote for one that I havent seen up yet.
ReplyDelete@solobutterfly *hugs* could not have said it better myself my friend. Number 20 just screams Halloween where I come from.
ReplyDeleteGah, 4, 11 or 29 :S
ReplyDelete7 23 and 28 are mine
ReplyDeleteOh, and, 20 has Owlowicious FTW.
ReplyDelete#29 for me wins without a doubt.
ReplyDelete30!
ReplyDeleteSo... many... good ones....
ReplyDeleteDecision center.... overloading.... *fzzzzzt*
7
ReplyDeleteIt's eerie and relevant to Nightmare Night.
You can't deny vampire Trixie. 23 all the way, bronies.
ReplyDeleteThough, I have to admit, I was really tempted by both 4 and 14. Both are very well done, and I feel that the subtle cupcakes-esque feel is perfect for Halloween; but seriously, nothing can beat vampire Trixie.
I was considering #3, but then I thought #12 was better.
ReplyDeleteWhy? #3 is just using some layering art, text and some vectors. Not really a TON of work, unlike #12, which was HAND DRAWN... YOU KNOW; FROM SCRATCH. So I'm sorry #3, but #12 is just, overall, the better banner.
Couldn't decide between #28 or #29. So I actually had to take a closer look at them both. I ended up choosing #28.
ReplyDeleteMore votes for 19! It's so freakin' good!
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough choice, but 12 is the best IMO. Honorable mentions to 2, 7, 13-15, 19-23, 29, & 30. Awesome work, you guys (and gals).
ReplyDeletethanks to all the people that voted 22! im glad you guys liked it, i dont think i will win but 97 votes so far is pretty great so thank you all.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I voted 12. However, I believe 8 was an extremely close second, simply because I love the artist's style.
ReplyDeleteNo..... 19 has to win.
ReplyDelete#4 Just creepy enough to work
ReplyDelete#9 Just cute enough to work
#12 Is currently my background and is therefor the best.
#14 Pretty good but there were better faces for Rarity and Applejack.
#19-21 Are all equally good
#29 "Nightmare" and the iconic moon + Pinkamina's hair totally seal the deal.
#32 Cause Derpy is adorable and awesome on her own but a Charlie Brown parody with Derpy is even better.
22 is best. All the way.
ReplyDelete14 gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteToo many good ones. WHY MUST I ONLY PICK ONE!?
ReplyDelete27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot enough starry mane Luna. This IS her night. I'm OK with 12 though.
ReplyDelete12 for sure. Derpy and dinky are best banner poni
ReplyDeleteI voted for the one I thought was most underrated rather than all those that I liked most. They are the most popular ones anyway. I hope that’s alright.
ReplyDelete12 or 20?...cant decide!
ReplyDeleteI can't choose any of these, all of them look wonderful, especially the psychotic ones D:
ReplyDelete9 captures the kid in all of us and the Halloween spirit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteNINE!
Oh, a ton of cool banners! How can I only pick one? :)
ReplyDelete20
ReplyDeleteVampire Luna is best pony, so 28 (sorry Derpy you still awesome :( )
ReplyDelete34
ReplyDeleteIf you don't vote for #16 your a terrible pony!
ReplyDelete#14 is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think the 12th really deserves to win. It's elegant, funny and pretty well done. Plus, it's hand-drawn. I voted it ^^
ReplyDeleteNumber 25 it's mine. I'm so happy to see it here! Yay! :3
#23
ReplyDeleteTrixie is best pony.
OH THIS IS BULLSHIT SETH! WHY DO YOU SPAM FUCKING FUCKOWEEN SO MUCH!? IT'S THE WORST FUCKING DAY OF THE YEAR!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so amazing! It was hard to choose but im going with 23
ReplyDelete#9, because I am a sucker for anything CMC.
ReplyDelete#12 is ftw!
ReplyDeleteIts so hard to choose everyone is so good! Buy im going to go with 23. It just speaks to me :)
ReplyDeleteDecisions are not my strong point, especially when faced with so much brilliance.
ReplyDelete#15 Is good (though i'm biased I loved that movie)
#12 has a great style to it
#28 is good, Luna makes a good vampony.
#30 has a nice style to it.
#35 is creepy, but good (which is fitting)
I'd be forced to list them all should I comment on everything I like, theres something I like in all of them.
I will manage to decide eventually though and i'm certainly saving a fair few of these, major props to all the artists.
Site layout is creepy too.
this is mine 22,4,10,14,17,23,25,29,31 and 35
ReplyDelete4, Definitely
ReplyDelete#19
ReplyDeleteoh come on #31 is the coolest (:
ReplyDelete12 has been my personal favorite though here are a lot of nice ones too. Sorry Luna 16 your too adorable for this contest. I will go with Derpy, can't go wrong with 12 it just has a certain level of charm and that Dinky in a pumpkin made me smile every time, reminded me of all the fun Holloweens me and my Mom had when I was young.
ReplyDeleteSo imho 12 is the most fitting for the holiday, and ties in so well with the new episode too since Derpy and Dinky are now canon! =D
If 12 wins just because it's Derpy, I'd say put it in it's own place of honor and go with the next one, which I hope to be 20.
ReplyDelete#19 Funny and cute.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE NUMBER 17!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI chose #14, but looking at the results I think it's quite obvious which one is going to win (hint it is #12)
ReplyDelete#31 #31 #31
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw it was was all like WOOOOOOOOOW.
#1 got my vote
ReplyDelete#20 IT's JUST SO AWESOME
ReplyDeletePashaPup deserves the runaway. #12 for all the marbles!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, such a shame, 12 is great, but I really like #3...
ReplyDeleteIt was a toss up between #34, #14 and #7, but in the end I voted for #34 because of the split personality/shadow monster vibe I get from it, which I think is appropriate for EqD, unlike some of the others.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to decide, but after narrowing it down to four and examining those closely, Luna's eyes dug into my soul too much for me to not vote for 16
ReplyDelete24, 25, 20, 16, 33, 13, 9.
ReplyDeletevoting for 24
so many memories from my childhood...
I voted #15...Probably because there's noone here who gets the actual reference.
ReplyDeleteI think #12 can be called the winner.
For those that are having trouble with the white background, type this into the address bar:
ReplyDeletejavascript:$("div.post-outer").css("background","#88f")
Or for a black background:
javascript:$("div.post-outer").css("background","#000")
Tested in Chrome (though you can't just copy-paste, you have to type "javascript:" manually. Should work in the other browsers too.
Mkay looks like it _only_ works in Chrome. Well how about that :P
ReplyDeleteOkay, we all know that 15 is going to win. Right now, it looks like the rest don't even have a chance.
ReplyDeleteWhich sucks, because 12 is amazing.
Source 20, although they were all amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for selecting my banner (#32) as one of the finalists! Though it looks like #12 is the runaway hit with the Bronies -- and a fine work of art it is, too! Let me be the first to congratulate @pasha pup on their likely win.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to the hundred or so who still voted for my banner -- you bronies are the best! *brohoof!*
#1 and #4 because Pinkamena is best pony. Plus, I mean come on, everypony! What's Nightmare Night without the cupcakes?
ReplyDeleteAlso, yay #35 and lil' miss Rarity!
Voted #7 since it seems most appropriate for both the theme of the site and reference of the show. I like #12 too but still 7 seems more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteAw, figures, guess my (#24 on the 3rd Banner Update, yes that Pinkie one, no it's not Cupcakes) banner didn't make it. And I was just getting into graphic art...
ReplyDeleteNow to try cast my hopefully... 'non-bias' vote.
Right now:
30, Background is GR8, very suitable for both halloween and as a banner
29, Nightmare Before Christmas suits the Halloween theme so well
24, Nice trick, and it seems this nostalgia spell is working
21, LOVE the landscape, the clouds not so much, dat FONT.
18, I always appreciate skill whatever the case, though this to me doesn't really show the awesome of Halloween on the interwebz
3, MOAR nostalgia
1, Pinkie Pie is looking great in that outfit, and Fluttershy... erm, extremely...trendy? either way, it's very accurate, and something about makes the colors somewhat...Halloweeny?

ReplyDeleteI definitely vote 25, although I also like very much 4 and 7.
ReplyDelete25 all the way!
So hard...... 29,34, and 35......
ReplyDeletealright my vote is......
I CHOOSE 14 *yay*
i like the last one
ReplyDelete30.
ReplyDelete31! :3
