Angel of the south
What do people think of the shortlisted designs? Personally I like the horse but think all the others look bl00dy awful.

The Angel of the North is quite simply brilliant. It was meant to rust.

This was suggested at Southampton and Ithink it would be a rather nice complement to the Angel of the North

The only thing the South is good for is warm flat horrible beer.
With that in mind, here is my design for Angel of the South

Quinlad, I'm surprised at that display of intellectual snobbery. I could have sworn I saw you on another thread reprimanding people for sneering at tasteless chavs. It's obviously ok for you to do it though.
You didn't answer the question either. What do you think of the designs? Which is your favourite?

Actually, ludwig. I'm sneering at sneerers. And their unsolicited attempts to loudly foist their taste on others and dismiss what doesn't fall into line with their own views.
Chav-bashing and modern art-tutting fall into that category.
Perhaps I was too tongue-in-cheek about it.
(I prefer the wing design.)

Quinlad. Sneering at sneerers. That's alright then.
I interpreted it as an elitist art snob comment. A dismissal of anyone who fails to appreciate the artistic merit of say Tracey Emin's bed as some kind of ignorant prole whose tastes aren't sufficiently refined enough to be allowed to express an opinion.
I think the wing design looks like a sports trophy you'd find in a shoe repair/key cutting shop, but 50 metres tall. That's just my opinion of course, it's no more or less valid than yours.
