Which icon is better? Post the number of that icon, include your reason if you can. No biased voting please; vote solely based on the banner's quality. Also, the themes are only guidelines so the artist knows what kind of graphic to make. All of that being said, happy voting. ​

I'm going to have to be honest and say that neither of these icons especially wows me. They're alright, but they feel a little plain.

In the first one the coloring looks a little drab. I'd have liked to see more contrast. Added to that, the facial features aside from the eyes seem to have gotten a little lost.

In the second one, the coloring on Taylor Swift's hair looks great--and I always find working with images that have blonde hair somewhat of a challenge for some reason--but it just doesn't make much of an impression on me otherwise. And I really dislike the overexposure on the face.

I'm going to end up voting for #1 since the whispy effects do really suit the image and it generally looks like the more dynamic option of the two.

Voting for Number 1.

Number 1 has some good editing work and has used a light texture over the image, although I would have used a different filter/layer effect for that lighting in the top right corner.
Number 2 fits the theme well, but they made the left side of the face too bright, bleaching out detail of fingers and the edge of her face.

Other than that, I agree with Skiyomi, they're both pretty simple and plain.

In terms of editing quality, number one is the better choice. To me, number two doesn't have much going on aside from a basic white border. But it seems like number one used some faded lens flares to at least offset the graphic a bit to further enhance the focal points of the design.

But I've have to be inclined to agree in that both graphics are relatively bland.
