I know its hard to choose but those don't seem the best at all.
I am sorry but the criteria applied to choose the winners is a bit weird. For example the first design is gonna be hell for the guy to apply it manually and that was one of the basic issues (although I find it a great design).
And the third design looks a lot like bennybtl's page 5 misses and mister (and it doesn't seem better)
with all respect, I felt that something had to be said.
I love the winning design, mainly because I love everything about "Da de Muertos", but... what about "Remember that the elements of your design (the individual pieces of laser-cut grip tape) will be applied to the board "by hand," so tiny, very complex pieces will be impossible to execute. " And this design has lots and lots of those tiny pieces!
well, having looked at all of 'em, I must say that I am disappointed. I came here from bustin's site and there were some great designs on the forums here but these aren't them; I do like the winner though as a graphic but knowing how this will be stuck to the board it won't work, and if it does it won't stay stuck. I had checkers on an old deck and they flaked off with only a bit of abuse, and once one peels the rest follow quickly. if this does get made I hope it stays on a wall somewhere for safe keeping.
