It's certainly the one I modeled mine after. The gradients make it look so good, and you can really have fun with decorative stuff between categories.

I'll be honest, the AX ballots do owe an acknowledgement to Otakon. I was very impressed when I first saw their ballots at Otakon 2010, as I was used to scraps of paper for AX's ballots. When I became AMV coordinator in 2012 I was determined to do nice ballots.

I didn't want to copy their font, but it was the only one that let everything fit efficiently. For 2015 we'll be doing away with that font entirely though at the request of powers-that-be who want me to start adhering more closely to AX's overall design language. It's not a drastic change though.
How tall do they have to be to make everything legible? 11"? Or is 8.5" enough?
AX's are 4.25x11, SakuraCon's are 3.5x8.5.

Soooooooooooo, question...the commercials I sent in already...I just noticed after 50 billion reviews and totally missed by beta testers...has a typo.

Would it be possible to, if selected to play during AX to submit a revision? If it is trouble to send right away it can wait, since it even under a judging capacity it will probably go unnoticed. But now that is all I am going to see and it is unacceptable. UNACCEPTABLE I SAY! :oops:

Except for the spelling mistakes. =P

Hmm, I hope it was clear that all of my 'suggestions' were jokes...
