#1 for me. I like that it has all the hero's on the front. Plus I really liked the "Wanted" at the top. Sort of reminded me of the Richard Wanted poster in "Bounty." Hehe Those, "What it would look like," shots are so rad! I thought #1 looked best in those shots. It grabbed me the quickest. This is going to be EPIC!
All the choices were awesome! All the designers did a fantastic job!

I think I like the first one the best as well. Like episode titles, the Wanted effect applies to so much:
Wanted - More Legend of the Seeker
Wanted - A new home for Legend of the Seeker
Legend of the Seeker is very wanted!
Just wanted to add that I think it's good to have all 4 of Team Seeker represented. We know that Cara has a HUGE following so I think it's important that she be represented as well.

It was SO hard to choose! But I like the 2nd one. I like that the first one has all four of them - and I do like that "Wanted" theme but I love that shot of R/K and the sword seems more prominent in the 2nd one which I think is cool. The name seems to stand out a bit more in that one as well. They were all really well done. I can't wait to see it!!  |

RT @thetorchonline: Fans pick the ad to try to save Legend of the Seeker, to run Friday in Variety. #saveourseeker bit.ly/9x87DGAd Chosen for “Save Our Seeker” LEGEND OF THE SEEKER Campaign, to Run Friday in VARIETY Posted on 05 May 2010 by Brent Hartinger, Editor Save Our Seeker, the online campaign to encourage a third season of the syndicated fantasy show Legend of the Seeker, has let fans vote on which of four ads they should place in Variety — and fans have chosen a winner (below). Last week, concerned by reports that the show had been canceled, Save Our Seeker solicited funds from fans to place the ad. More than $8000 was raised. The ad, which is directed at industry professionals, will hopefully run Friday, May 7th. The “fandom name” of the artist is Tarlanciel. The winning ad received 309 votes. Second ad: 129; third: 78; and fourth: 21 See the three ad designs not chosen here. The campaign is $600 short of being able to afford a second ad in a different publication, so they’re still accepting contributions. #1 Was the Winner! |

Brilliant idea to keep the show going. 1 and 2 were definitely my favourites, but I think everyone who has voted has made a good choice with the first one. Karma deserved me thinks

'Save Our Seeker' Press Release #2 regarding the ad in 'Daily Variety'
Legend of the Seeker' Fan-Driven Campaign Garners Momentum with an Advert Published in Variety
Fans rise up to contribute to the "Save Our Seeker" campaign resulting in the first ad being published in Variety magazine, and a slew of additional activities in support of a third season of 'Legend of the Seeker.'
PR Log (Press Release) – May 07, 2010 – The “Save Our Seeker” fan-created, full-page advertisement went to print today, May 7th, and was published in 'Daily Variety.' Also to be featured on variety.com. The insert is a statement of support for a third season of 'Legend of the Seeker,' as well as a thank you to executive producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, and the phenomenal cast and crew for taking their fans on an "epic journey," as mentioned in the ad.
Since the report on April 26, 2010 that the series had been canceled, 'Legend of the Seeker' fans decided to take action in an effort to encourage ABC Studios and other potential networks to pick up the series for a third season. Fan support from around the world poured in immediately, resulting in funds raised within three days through the "Save Our Seeker" campaign for a full page ad in 'Daily Variety.' To date, there has been no official press release from ABC Studios confirming that the show is canceled.
'Legend of the Seeker' fans are not without talent, thus a call was put forth for design entries and a number of talented graphic artists submitted their wonderful ad ideas for consideration. The submissions were eventually narrowed down to four, giving the fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite ad. The winning design, created by Miriam Kintscher, is the representation of the fans' sentiment.
The fanbase fervor does not end with the Variety ad. Having raised over $9,000, the "Save Our Seeker" campaign will also buy an advertisement in 'The Hollywood Reporter.' In the meanwhile, fans continue to work around the clock: sending postcards and letters to ABC, contacting the media, and encouraging everybody to purchase the series on both iTunes and DVD format – Season One and pre-ordering Season Two. On May 3rd, the Season Two DVD was on Amazon.com Sales Rank: #70 in Movies & TV. Over the May 1st weekend, #SaveOurSeeker was trending number 6 worldwide on Twitter, and #LegendOfTheSeeker, number 2 worldwide.
A few entertainment press publications continue to report on the campaign efforts, including The Torch Online and TV Star.
“Two seasons wasn't near enough. We loved you all so very much,” Aleyna Dennis sings in her beautiful rendition, 'Hey There Seeker,' which is based on the 'Hey There Delilah' song by Plain White T's.
'Legend of the Seeker' fans are inspired by the previous successes of 'Chuck,' 'Jericho,' 'Firefly,' 'Star Trek' and 'Farscape' that have been saved by their loyal followers, to now spare no effort for what they love. With very few fantasy/adventure shows currently airing, 'Legend of the Seeker' fans feel that such a unique series as theirs should be treasured and renewed.
Please check the "Save our Seeker" website at www.saveourseeker.com for more information on how you can help, as well as be updated on the progress of the campaign.
Legend of the Seeker is based on "The Sword of Truth" books by Terry Goodkind, starring Craig Horner, Bridget Regan, Tabrett Bethell, Bruce Spence and Craig Parker; filmed against the backdrop of beautiful New Zealand. For current show times and dates, please visit: dadt.com/lots/.
