It's still the best one. Everything else is specific to injokes, obscure albums, and memes. I'm happy with the result.

this, pretty much
it may not be flashy or memey but it is very nice to look at, and is very music related
>>68341179

That was kinda the point. I wanted to make something that /mu/ didn't regret in two years. Something timeless and classy, generic and easy to look at. I fucking hate shitty meme cash-ins, troll banners and distracting flashing banners, but they win far too often in the contest because most voters come from outside the board and have no clue about injokes and board culture. Looking at the runners-up I feel justified in mainly submitting to prevent shitty banners from winning. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (I'm the runner-up on /f/ and /sci/).

99 submission and 384 votes still makes /mu/ one of the most popular contests. The meme banners did get dozens and dozens of votes. There were just too many entries to edge out a win. My banner was unique in a sea of samey jokes and memes which allowed me to win with only 6.5% of the votes cast while the others split their votes into oblivion. More submissions isn't always a good thing if you want to push a certain meme as a board.
Still, good showing, everyone else who submitted!

You made it? Congratulations! I really like it.

I would've gone for 2nd or third, something universal that shows the board is shit and still 4chan in spirit. most banners now look like proper promotion, which is kinda boring.
congrats to >>68342503 tho, that's some smooth shit

Yea but the 6th one down feels much more like /mu/ tbqh
I think it would age well too, it isn't really a meme, it's a joke
>>68341179
better boring than cringy imo. Although ngl some of them in the runner ups are funny.

Thank you very much. A good number of our in-jokes are terrible.
