It was an open theme to see if people prefer banners that had the original icon on them or not.... ^_^' It turned out very interestingly.... Ah well. W/e.
In any chance I would like to first announce that this will be the last LIMS for a very-very long time. The community will be closed after I announce the winners, due to lack of participation. It may reopen during September, but that is very tentative. I hope you all have had fun voting and participating. Peace out kiddies~

- Please vote in the following format:
Least Favourite
#61 - I think the colouring of the banner doesn't match the icon very well - there are colours in it which aren't in the banner!
Favourite
#100 - I think this is the best image matching I've seen, and it flows amazingly!

CHALLENGE 2: Recoloring Banner makers often get images, textures, brushes, etc. However, sometimes the images need a little... help. This is where recoloring comes into play. Under the cut you will find the base that doesn't look quite like the icon. It was recolored and submitted~ As the banner maker, you are not given the recolored image, so you will have to do it yourself~ NO COPY AND PASTING THE ICON PEEPS. :D [And yes... the original image was the real base I was given to work with. LOL.]
