Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 As you can see, my current sig consists of a stupid black square with a red pixel in the middle. I put this here because I have absolutely no clue what to do for my sig. I want my sig to come from me, but quite simply... I'm horrible at coming up with ideas. So! If anyone would like to share some tips on creating sigs, some possible ideas I could use, or ways of developing my own ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. I want something different... something unique... something that will get other people to say "Man, I wish I had a sig like that...!" I'll provide some of my old sigs to show what I use to do. All done with PDN This is my sig from when I use to play Runescape. I basically used it on forums and my clan. This is my current sig for a forum I run called "The Ranting Parrot." It obviously isn't suitable for this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Try finding a neat fire image, or find a visualization that you like i guess and base it on that, just play around...that is how all art gets made, on computers that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I was considering using the first sig I posted up there (the one with the archer). ^ What are your thoughts on it? And way I could improve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 No, it looks very nice, actually looks like something out of photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I kinda like your current sig. What is that, a square, black donut on a red table? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It would be a bagel, the bagel when baked has a smaller mis shaped hole in it. get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, but I like donuts better. I never get tired of the joke where you pick up a bagel and tap it on the counter saying, "hey! these donuts are getting stale!"

Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 IDK if the render I used was edited in photoshop, but the rest I did in PDN. I think I'll use that in addition to the black square... seeing as you like it, lol. It was actually intended to 'ask' people "Why do you concentrate on 1 pixel if theres thousands?" Kind of a thing... anywho, I guess I'll just use that sig. *puts it in* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 As soon as Rick sees it he will ask you to change it. Its too big. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonize Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yes I'm all for signatures and I really like ones that don't take up a load of the screens height. Quote C A R B O N I Z E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Oh... couldn't find where it said what size, I gotta go figure that out... :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah I'm at 1920x1200 and they're still looking pretty large.

Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 1920x1200... of what, thats huge if... hmm. I'll try to figure out a logical size since I don't see rules posted anywhere... I'm assuming is ok as far as width goes, seeing as Raven's is wider. whats the px max for height? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickman Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 well, there's no limit, but you shouldn't make really big sigs, the smaller, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I didn't really see it as large... in fact, when I use to use it it was considered one of the smaller ones O.O I'll see what i can do as far as size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Resize to 450x150 I did that with this It was 600x200, but that is way too big, now I work out of 600x150 or 450x150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Eh, I just dragged the edges a bit... no need to be precise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
