When Northworld creator Lars Brown sent us a new iFanboy wallpaper, it reminded us that — hey! — we had an iFanboy Wallpaper contest in 2006! And because that was five years ago and we've changed backend systems a few times since then those images were no longer vieweable.
But all is not lost, true believers! I poked around my files and found the contest entries!
(A bit of background on the contest: it was run around the time of the one year anniversary of the iFanboy Pick of the Week Podcast, so you'll see some references to that in the wallpapers. There may or may not have been a prize for winning but I don't remember what it was. I think it was probably "pride".)
The winners:
Lars Brown

These are all excellent!
“Green Arrow vs Social Problems” hahaha
I like the Superman-one. It’s too weird not to like
Darkhawk all the way. And change the name of the sit to iDarkhawk. NOW THATS A SHOW.
The last one is CLEARLY the best.
@Cedric And the fact that Ron, who doesn’t like Superman, is Superman makes it even funnier!
Hard to believe that this contest was FIVE years ago….. geez, crazy talk 🙂 I used Lars’ background for at least 2 of those years too, well…. actually until I travelled to the US, so maybe 3 yrs? funny.
Forgot about the Frappr! map but the Joshgirl/Ron Kent one was hilarious.
Josh Girl. Amazing.
Frapper Map. Awesome! I also miss Josh’s voices doesn’t seem to do them as much as he used too.
You can tell that this was a while ago because of the low resolutions on them. With everyone rocking big fancy widescreen LCD monitors the difference is noticeable and on that note do any of the original authors have some large res versions of these?
