Nathan´s #1 is GREAT!

[Nathan Strum]

Thanks! I wanted to try something a little different this time around.

(And in case anyone is wondering about #2, the contest page says, "To be consistent with Bob DeCrescenzo's previous game releases..." )

Thanks again to all the talented artists who took the time to submit one or more entries for the contest!  I hope everyone had fun creating their labels and we truly do have some amazing talent here at AtariAge.     I'm glad I don't have to make the ultimate decision as to which label will grace FailSafe!

[iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin]

Definitively not an easy decision............

[HammR25]

There's so many good entries it'll be hard to pick a bad one.

[PacManPlus]

I have a few in mind, I just have to decide.  Al - are you one of the judges also?  I've never done this before.

Yes Bob Thank you for your pick!
And Jahfish for all his hard work in the label.
And also want to thank Al for his work setting this great contest up and all the other Great submissions for the contest from all the talented AA members.
I think the best part of these is seeing how creative people get with them, I really love it..I wish they never would end.

[Lendorien]

Hey! Congrats to the winners. I threw in my hat, such as it was, but the winner was actually high on my list too.  Congrats guys!
