In the interest of fairness, I suppose I'll drop the flag one (sorry Himmler) and judge the pie sigs, as all three of you posted one of those.
You guys can either continue with the mythology theme, and I'll judge that one in the next round, or I can go ahead and post a score for it as an honorable mention, and you guys can continue with a new theme.
Himmler
Theme: 4.0 - two pies up!!
Artistic: 3.0 - It's a nicely balanced design, but the text isn't all it could be, and does take away from the balance. Try using a center alignment when you have a carriage return. It also somewhat lacks creativity.
Technical: 3.5 There isn't much image modification on this pic, but I'm going with the assumption that you used the wooden background and cut out the pies and used a drop shadow.
Overall: 3.5
BeefontheBone
Theme: 4.0 - Pie + Pun
Artistic: 3.2 - Nicely balanced placement and text, but the colors of the pie are somewhat atrocious It sort of makes your eyes go straight to the leftmost corner and get stuck there.
Technical: 3.5 - you cut out the pie and colored it, but there's not really anything that makes me think it was a technical masterpiece.
Overall: 3.6
A. J. Raffles
Theme: 4.5 - Pie + Literary reference + Pun
Artistic: 4.0 - The placement and position of the pie image and text are excellent, and everything comes together very nicely. The only thing I can think to criticize is that the colors could use some tweaking to make it a little more eye-catching.
Technical: 3.0 - You cut the background and the text directly from an image, but you did add the pie and the "e" to the word "pi". Also, you added a border, so you got some points for that.
Overall: 3.8
Winner of the Lemon Meringue Pie Battle: A. J. Raffles!!!
doodoodoo!!!

although the colors are not well picked he should have more points exactly for the fact that your eyes go straight there and stay there, your eyes must not be all over the place, only at the center of interest(that's how it sounds in romanian...), underlining the subject-lemon meringue pie.

Well... sorry to contradict, but anywhere I've ever studied design principles, a design that causes your eyes to get stuck in one spot is not considered a good thing.
Sure, you're supposed to have a focal point, but a good design is also supposed to draw your eyes throughout the whole, so that you are able to appreciate the details of the work.

The only thing taikara has done wrong in her judging is to assume that Beef coloured that pie himself. He didn't. That was how the resource pic was... so he should've gotten a lower score for that (as he did not do anything).

My technical grading slope goes like this:
0 - cut out directly from a pic, nothing done
1 - cut out directly from a pic, border added (or something similarly simple)
2 - cut out directly from a pic, editing done
3 - uses cutouts from a resource pic
4 - uses more than one resource pic
5 - uses a self-made background and more than one resource pic
I use one of those descriptions as a starting point, and add and subtract points according to what I think has been done to the sig (which might not be accurate, but if it looks like something's been done, I'll give it credit, even if it hasn't really).
