Designers tend to have signature styles it seems, which designers have the style you enjoy the most?

Quoted from rosh:How is Joe Balcer not on the list?
Polls seemingly have a 9 choice limit, maybe that can be confirmed. I started doubling up at the end to get 10 in there. Balcer and Nordman and Krynski should be there.
I voted for Mark Ritchie from the given list, but it really should include Greg Kmiec and Jim Patla.

Jim Patla is there. Poll maximum number of choices are limited to 9 for some reason or other designers would be on there as well.
Sorry but the poll is invalid.
Missing Dave Sanders (Full Throttle & Alien) & Scott Danesi (Total Annihilation)
Poll is invalid without Steve Kordek, inventor of the the drop target.
Or, for that matter, Wayne Neyens.
George Christian and Greg Kmieck.
Ritchie for being the most polished and a safe pair of hands, Trudeau for not being afraid to apply some lateral thinking.
Ted Zale
BTW, this list is completely absent every single important designer in pinball history who were the grandfathers of modern pinball.
The OP might want to research people like Steve Kordek, Harry Williams, Ted Zale, Norm Clark, Wayne Neyens, Don Hooker, and Ed Krynski.
Almost everyone that was listed designed less than 10 games in their entire pinball career.

I've stated a few times that Pinside polls seem to be limited to 9 choices so all designers can not be represented.
Suggestion for next time. A poll for active/modern designers and one for past/classic designers. Then take the top two winners from each poll for THE winner.
I still applaud the effort. Interesting to observe.
