It's a banner, I'm afraid. A signature needs to (a) be smaller, and (b) match the color scheme of the forum it's displayed in (ideally using transparency to perfectly match up with the background).

That said, thanks for *asking* about it rather than just going ahead and using it. =) And welcome.

Welcome...

Someone will be along soon directing you to the FAQ and lots of other stuff.

I like the sig but theres something just not right with it. I think it might have something to do with the color scheme of these boards, can't quitye put my finger on it though...

the color scheme isn't the problem - there are plenty of colors that work here even if they don't perfectly match.

The biggest issues are the sheer size of it, and the disjointed lack of composition or purpose.

random filter effects and trendy splotches piled up for no reason doens't make a piece of art.

Simplify.

I was just thinking (wow...me, thinking)

If you got rid of the background, thickened up consistancy of the lines, and make them fade out and into the matte color of the forums, it might look nicer. I hope that was clear, because the fonts and the lines in the background fit well, and could make for a good sig. Nice try!

I don't like the letter glow, I think if you actually render it up as the people ^above have stated, and you get rid of the glow, it will look nice.

Duck's sig is no worse than mine. In fact, it's probably better, all my sigs are shit.

Just look below. That is the peak of my sig-making capabilities!

Yeah, BlackKnight is right. Just keep trying and posting your efforts and you'll soon have something you can be proud of.

Or do an entry for one of the sig competitions. That's where I got mine.
