Smile is my favorite. Because it's simple, bright and cheerful. Combined with the Smile icons, it rocks!

I was impressed with the ellegance of this skin at first site (see love).
Its so minimalistcally neutral and polished at the same time that makes you (me at least) think you have an NeXtGeNeration Apple or something. 
Emm...No. The creator didnt payed me for that.
What was its name?...Ahh. KewK-HoE of course.

Racer of course
...but I believe Mini OS will take the Gold, Pixel 8~silver, and a toss up for bronze.

Kewk - Hoe, I think, is the best minimalist, but I have to put in my own skin (myPod) as pretty minimalistic too.

Pixel8, I mean, it's hard to draw 3-D squares, especially with my experience with Photoshop. it feels, well, at home. I imagine a new 'puter in those boxes!

Hrmmm...best minimalist, huh?
Opulence - Gold
KewK - Silver
Pixel8 or Mini OS - Bronze
Still, there are some others that are worthy of note, like dada from jromo, and Skinny Bop from Essencay, all great minimal skins. But anyways...good luck to all the skinners!

OK.
How much time do I have to hand in something? (I feel like I am in high school)
My skin is minimal because its based on Modrian's Broadway. I am sooooooooo trying to finish it by tomorrow.
Anyway, maybe next time.

My two favorites are Quasar (by Mike Bryant) and Pixel8 (by Essorant). My reasons are twofold 1)Originality. These skins provide some neat new ways of seeing the minimalistic world of WB skins. and 2)Quality. While there are other good (and even great) skins out there for this category, I think that Pixel8 and Quasar not only lead the pack but define what the pack should look like. Hands off to Mike and Tim for their top efforts.

Definatly KewK-Hoe
I usually use other peoples skins for a short time and then go back to a SlimT varient but, this one is awesome as a minimalist skin.

I'm glad I'm not a judge. I really like (in no particular order) dada, Pixel 8, Diaspar, Opulence and KewK - HoE. They're all excellent skins.
