I think I like the one with the faces, but this will sure make my commute more colorful!

It appeals to me more.

I think what I see here is much worse than just the plain white. Something soft and soothing is much more pleasing. If these designs don't promote road rage nothing will!!

I like the display from Catherine Callahan & Bret LeBeau, the Art tends to be more in tune with the South Portland area and the waterfront. It looks like an arial view of the docks.

I really like Nicole's design!

Definitely the faces, they're so intriguing & much more thought-provoking than the other designs. An aerial view of them flying in on a plane would be SO cool!

I only like the first entry from the couple from So Portland. The reflections of local scenery are very picturesque. I don't care for the others.

My mom and i like the one by Nicole Langille.

We like like the one by Nicole Langille!!

Definitely Holger Friese's designs. Geometric patterns are fine, but they soon become just another "background". Boy! Wish I'd known about this so that I could have submitted my own designs!

I loved the broad horizontal stripes. A timeless statement to the landscape.

It's the best of the 5,but they all seem to lack imagination.

Why not make them look like a stack of pancakes or a hamburger instead of abstract art?

I love the feel of Bo and Sara's work. It feels happy in the same way when you see a bright, sunny day. A nice fresh organic feel with a touch of retro. I love this idea, no matter who wins. Peace!

I really do not like ant of them. Eack one is really an eye sore. better off leaving them white if this is all we have to choose from. Why not do something with a Maine theme. a tribute to the maine working women and men, seascape, landscape, antthing but these 5 choises.

I think mountains and trees with a lake would blend in much prettier with the maine landscapes

I love the colors and the smooth lines of the designs. They have the look of fine silk!

I much prefer Nocole's design. It's smooth and fluid, and evokes an easy image to catch a glimpse of as you drive by. I dislike the others- too geometric or camo-y. Elaine Hodnett South Portland

These designs would look great in a museum, but not on the street why not hire some teens to paint them. At least we would see something original.

Oh come on....this is the best Maine artist have to offer? Too bad it hadn't had more publicity so there could have been some real local flavor submitted. All of the designs leave me very un-impressed.

Love the colors...can you imagine how they will contrast against the winter snow...and then make a summer day feel so colorful and fresh!

They are all AWFUL!

his are absolutely the best ever..the others are rather uninteresting..his add dimension and interest..the faces by far, are the very best..such incredible talent! i hope he will win the contract..our landscape will be much more interesting than just graphic art which is very nice unto itself but this has much more substance! my vote is for him, definitely!

I Really Like the one with the faces. Its like a history listen on a large scale

I dont like any of them! They don,t reflect the Maine experience or it,s people

I vote for the last entry. My first thoughts were of lollipops and smiles, instead of oil tanks.

Nicoles captures a feeling for Portland.It wiould be a pleasure v to see this as I travel through the area. Jeanne

I'll go with the all bad.

With these choices we miss a great opportunity to reflect Maine's mountains, woods, farms and seascape. Leave them white if these are the only options!

None of the above, they would be an eyesore !

I don't like any of them. Go with a Maine theme. People would enjoy it more.

I'm siding with the person (listener), we need something more soothing. How about on the lines of the Boston gas tanks. A little splash of color.

All of them are way too busy!If I HAD to choose 1 it would be Bo & Sara's!

I like the idea of local artists.

it is a shame that all of the finalists have jarring geometric images rather than maine inspired natural ideas

I like the concept of the map

Where is the guy who painted the whales on the pier or do a tribute to 9/11 These are dull muted and just plain boring

I think all of these designs are wonderful! My favorite is Holger Friese's, but they're all bright and interesting. I'm frankly tired of seeing lighthouses and trees everywhere. Yeah, this is Maine. We know. Let's spice it up! I love it. Keep it up!

Post here and tell us what design you would choose for the South Portland oil tank project.
