Contest: ENTER Misc Av Contest: Going in Circles!

[auntiehill]

Thanks for the votes, gang, and thanks to Avro Arrow for letting me take this one. This week's contest is "Going in Circles:" anything round, circular, has "circle" in the name (let's keep this clean, people!), something moving in circles, etc. I've always had a thing for circles--pendants, windows, artwork--I just find the shape appealing. So, a clock, a traffic circle, a spinning top, a ball, orbiting planets--anything circular, round, and/or moving in a circular motion will do. NO MEDIA PLEASE-- no TV, movies, comics, video games, etc. If you're unsure about an entry, just ask. <---Smilies are also circles, btw.

Let's go with old BBS rules: 150 x 150 pixels max, 140 kb max, animated or not. Aside from the usual BBS rules, just about anything goes. I'll post the voting thread on Tuesday evening.

Here's mine: It's not just a circle av, it's BLUE, so naturally I had to use it.

*Squee!* Spirograph! I used to freaking LOVE that thing.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Hmm. I'll circle back later with an entry.

Damn, as soon as I saw the name of the contest, I thought of Stonehenge.

 

[tharpdevenport]

I'm not sure which to go with.

Or my old avatar, the oroborus (as seen in the TV series "MillenniuM"):

 

[auntiehill]

Well, I said NO MEDIA, so that should narrow it down for you; the symbol from Millennium isn't eligible. What's the green cat from?

 

[Owain Taggart]

How's this? Fireworks over a lake!

Actually I can't make up my mind:

 

[auntiehill]

Either will do, but I like the first one--a circle in another circle.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Yeah, I like the dynamic of the first one. It's even better in the full picture, as you see the reflection of both circles on the lake.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Here we go:

A big hole in the ground.

Well, I said NO MEDIA, so that should narrow it down for you; the symbol from Millennium isn't eligible. What's the green cat from?

I thought maybe it would be a grey area, since it isnt' a symbol made specifically for the show, just the version used in the show.


I don't recall exactly for the green cat, but I seen to think it was a mouse pad I found in a Google Images search many years ago. I think this is my third or fourth time entering it into contests here -- one day it will win. ;-)

 

[Avro Arrow]

^ Yeah, it appears to be a design from a British artist. It has been used on a lot of products that are sold on Zazzle. (She also has the same design in purple or blue, if you ever want to mix it up! )

(But if you really wanted to enter the oroboros, there are a lot of images out there completely unrelated to a TV show...)

 

[auntiehill]

Exactly^. There are tons of images of the oroboros; just find one not associated with a TV show or movie.

 

[DimesDan]

Here be mine!

 

[auntiehill]

^Cool!
