None of my three designs this week that I actually put time and thought into came close to my one, half-assed, last minute design last week. The best scoring one wasn't even a tenth of the final winning vote total.

The hot dog was the highest with 47, followed by the bones with 34 and brining up the rear is the penguin with a measly 24 votes.

I've decided that I have no idea what people want. For the next derby, whatever the topic I'm making a zombie fit. Fuck it.

Well, four really, but I'm only calling attention to three. I'm not that fond of the fourth. Neither is anyone else, judging by the votes. The theme this week is "Heat." The limitations mainly are to stay within six colors, avoid gradients, and no "Woot" related shirts.

This was my first entry. It didn't quite turn out as well as I hoped. Nobody to blame but myself. Moving on...

The second entry so far is doing better than the first. Still not blazing up the ranks, but what can I do? Suck less I guess.

My last entry. Too early to tell how this one will do. I only saw two other penguin related designs after I got this idea, and the one closest in concept is nowhere close to the same in execution. It's also above 130 votes, whereas mines... not.

I said it before, but I really mean it this time. They need to not allow voting until after the submission deadline. In spite of what they think, I do believe that some people vote for the lead designs just so they can back a "winner." Allow submissions through noon on Tuesday and voting from then until noon on Thursday. But whatever. It's not my contest.
