And Chirag- nice work 🙂
Nice !!! Those are fantastic !!! (I must say,
the “Best Movie Review” badge would look GREAT
on my page) !!! Good job Chirag ! I love the
“Best Musical Post” badge, with the little blue
guy singing into the microphone ! And the “Most
Courageous Post” badge is just inspiring !!! 🙂
Great badges Chirag, I hope I would be lucky to adorn my blog with most of these. I especially loved the badges for “Most Courageous Post” (obviously :P) and “Best Blog Design.”
Poonam, I’m anxiously waiting for the polling to start!! 😀
Three cheers to you Poonam. This is a commendable effort. God bless!

Awesome badges. Great work Chirag!
These are beautiful! They look professional, but also friendly and very creative. Does Chirag get best blog badge award? 🙂 Too bad “Best Blogging Project Creator” was canceled; I think sulz has done awesome things in that area.
wonderful and beautifully designed badges . i really liked the most courageous post badge( RDB …..nice one). the designer surely gets a thumbs up! :p
muse: i didn’t know that was axed! 😥 there goes my best chance of an award…
Kudos to Chirag for a job well done! 🙂 So is it like I have to win in the specified category or just have to qualify for the finals? 😀
@All: THanks for the appreciation for Chirag’s work! And he did it in least possible time with elan! 🙂 THanks again, Chirag!
@Amit: CHirag definitely deserves an award but I can’t ask him to design an award badge for himself. 🙂
@Vimal: yes, badges have undergone sea change since you last saw them. I am glad at how badges turned out. 🙂
@Ruhi: I am sure you could get that award, but I ahve somethingelse for you. 🙂
@Museditions: See my answers to Amit about Chirag’s award. 🙂
@Sulz: Yes, I too was disappointed to see that category go, but somehow there never were more than 2 nominations in that category.
@Daniel’s Critical Corner: I like your confidence. 😉
@Anniyan: YOu could flaunt the badge on your blog even if you were selected for the final polls. 🙂
@Crazy Sam: It will take another week for polling to start. Judges are almost finished, it will take time for admin tasks for the same.
poonam i second amit…..he should be surely awarded …….why dont you design a simple badge……. after all i feel even a simple one can express our gratitude for the work he has done for the avante garde 😛
hey besides i had just like to mention that the blue colored boxes sticked to each graphic is looking out of place….maybe it could be improved upon 😛
When does polling start? 🙂
awesome badges
I wish I’m nominated for final polls!!
people my post is nominated in the category of best short story love at last sight
GREAT WORK Chirag and Poonam
These badges are brilliant. I am so jealous of your creativity 😀
Yes, Vaibhav, I’m with you..
My assignment help
@Arpit: I wish I could design. I have zilch graphic design skills. But if you have some other odea of showing appreciation, do let me know. 🙂
About the boxes, you seem to think like your sister, who said the same thing. But I thought that blue face gave the badges a distinct personality. I liked them as is. 🙂
@Chirag: Polling starts end of this week. Most judgements have been done. There will be announcements shortly.
@Ashish: YOU have a tough competition, short story category has fetched many entries. Wish ya luck! 🙂
@Vaibhav: I agree, and thanks for imparting your appreciation to Chirag. I read your recent travel posts. What a knife-carrying knave you are? 😛
Really creative …kodos to chirag
Very creative!
@krishna and Pr3rna: I am sure Chirag would have been warmed by reading your appreciation here. 🙂
Hi, great post! I like reading it.
Thanks for sharing.
Keep the great post coming!
