I think it's cool Maskkkk. It does clash here but maybe if you gave it a transparent BG and changed the letter colour to gold, yellow or orange it would match here. It's neat looking.

nah.

keep it blue. make the grey transparent, and drop the size about in half, and you;ve got a keeper.

you may notice that the background color for this site is blue....afterall....

You could always go the more subtle route with this as well...



overall i like it.. yep.
it could probably use a tid bit of sizing down.... but that's my personaly preference... There's plenty of larger sigs around here.

Yep, but 90% of those really need to be smaller too!

It definately needs to be sized down - prefereably in half...although you could get away with a little bigger than that.

And 83% of that 90% are yours Maskkk and we have mentioned each time that you should make them smaller

Its not a sign of one's manhood - its annoying

Maskkkk, here's a quick re-work, following DL & Emp's advice.
(I hate doing it for you, but you're screaming for help, so I've included a brief tutorial too so maybe you could try it yourself?).

Step 1: Select the Gray background, then [Image]>[Adjustments]>[Replace Color]. Set lightness to -100
(Repeat this step for all the redundant grey areas, (using the +eyedropper icon) until all they're black).
Step 2: Change the layer mode to screen (make the black invisible).
Step 3: Add a new layer, beneath the one you're working on. Fill it with

Dufty: Good effort

Maskkk: Welllllll either don't put in so much detail or try it at a larger size - it was just an example.

krets: Good point - thats the trouble with made up statistics they always let you down

Mask - well there's a very easy solution for that: don't make it so fucking big to start with!!

If you make it small to begin with, there won't be a resizing process in which to lose anything.

Plain and simple.

Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way : Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.

Yep, DG's sigs are huge.

Though he really doesn't seem to give a fuck as the whining about such ended ages ago.

Didn't we have a basic size rule in the FAQ somewhere? I think sticking to that's a nice idea, and the guideline "Only as much space as is necessary to get the point across." Your dots could probably be a bit smaller Maskkkk without losing too much in detail. Try it, and if it isn't what you want, then screw it.

Hell at least it looks lightyears better then the first crap you posted, and that vertical nightmare of a macaroni box.

Hmmm...I rather liked the Macaroni Box...

The sig, though, doesn't look over-ly big, but it is pretty space consuming. Maybe just reducing it 25-40% would save some of the detail while making it smaller.
