david.atwell Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 It all completely and entirely depends on the style of the sig, the color scheme, the texture, the words, etc. There are entire classes dedicated to this. :-) Look through dafont.com and see what you like.

usedHONDA Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Sometimes, you have simple vector images, where fonts like Times New Roman or Franklin Gothic are the best, and other times, you have some radical image with lots to look at and you use a tiny 6-pixel-tall bitmap font, and other times where you want the text itself to be the focus of the image, so you use something from DaFont. Otherwise, use either Calibri, Segoe, or Verdana.

david.atwell Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I don't know if I agree with that. Dafont has a lot of good Serif and Sans-serif body and title fonts, to go with their other stuff. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

derkaderka Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 any as long as they are readable, omg that is my biggest complaint, I'm always dup'ing my layers and adding some contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vista? Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 This depends on your sig style as said above me. Take pyrochilds current sig for example. It reminds of me a drink such as coco cola (which is a "relaxing" drink"), therefore, the font is perfect becuase it also looks "relaxed".

One apologises for one's stupidity, but one wishes to know what does "lol" mean? Does it mean "funny/laughing"? If so, one wonders what is so funny about ones post? One means I/me/my/mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 So what is the best and nicest font for use on sigs... This is a question that can never be answered with a specific font. The best font for one signature wouldn't necessarily be the best font for another sig. The bottom line for me is: Font choice depends on the other thematic elements and the overall feel of the target graphic.

It depends on the person, everyone will like different fonts because everyone have different tastes, different styles and different needs.

david.atwell Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Just find one YOU like. Don't worry about what other people think. We're just some folks on the internet; only you know what YOU enjoy. Fonts are art, plain and simple, and no two people have exactly the same taste in art. We can tell you what works well with a certain style, but in the end all it comes down to is something YOU like. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

taboo Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Everyone is making good points; however, as someone mentioned already drive-by style in this thread, there is a legibility issue regardless of how appropriate a font might be for a particular signature, and regardless of an individual's personal taste. Even some of the standard fonts, though attractive, can be very difficult to read on web pages, not to mention inside images. Quote ... I should have been a pair of ragged claws ... - T.S.
