Alright, our new poll is up! These two designs got the largest number of votes, and now it's up to all of you to decide once and for all which of them will be our new mascot! :D
Border Collie A
Shetland Sheepdog 1
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest! Voting for this final round will last until the end of this month, and we'll announce the official winner on April 1st! Don't worry, we won't psyche anyone out just for April Fools; this will be a legit announcement!
After that, we'll finally put up a poll to decide on the dog's name based on entries our wonderful users turned in. :D

Personally I think the artists did a great job on the designs. I love the more natural sides of things, and even if they're common in litters who cares? I guess I'm just a lover for mottled dogs' colourations but I don't see the point on being rude. If you have nothing nice to say...don't say anything at all. (how cheesy xD) but still, I voted for the Border collie because...well, I figured it needed more votes - and they were both too lovely to choose from. <3

You know there have been a lot of people saying things about the designs that seem quite rude to me. If you don't like them then don't like them, but there is no need to post a comment saying how "ugly" a design is, somebody designed all of these and I'm sure even if you are not fond of a design you can attempt to be somewhat polite. I find a few of these comments very rude to the designers, and just remember whoever designed these dogs is probably reading these. how would you feel if it was your design being called "ugly"? I personally like the sheltie design best, and even though it's not my breed of choice for the mascot I can see that someone worked hard on these designs and they deserve more polite treatment. I'm sorry if this is not how other people are reading these comments but I have been seeing quite a few rude comments here and I think it needs to be addressed.

I personally thought the mascot should look like the blue merle Aussie (if it is indeed an Aussie) on the default page layout.
