first of all, i do like it... but i'm really having a problem figuring out what, if anything, it is (my first thought was wheat for some reason heh)
i think the color is fine, though, it seems to really fade into the lighter bg. maybe make it just a smidge brighter?

i quite like tribal art, in all it's forms, but it's easy to 'over do' it. i think what you've got there will be quite nice

I agree with Lacuna, this sig is very nice but making it a little brighter could improve it. I would also suggest adding more room between the letters of your name to make it more readable. Other than that, well done Mas.

Hey there,

I actually like it a lot. Subtle but unique. My only problem is the MAS part. The font you chose for this seems a bit to fancy and almost over shadows the art itself. Somehow I don't mix tribal art with calligraphy in my mind. Seems conflicting ideas...Unless that was what you were going for in the first place, sort of a anti-yin/yang sort of feel.

I also thought of wheat when I first looked at it... Change the font and I think you have a keeper...

I like it mas.
I also agree with the comments above. To my eyes, the "mas" part detracts from the great work in the "tribal" part.
Perhaps try to continue the tribal theme by using a font with a more organic feel to spell "mas"? Or even drawn, as twigs of wood, (but the "S" would be hard to do )
I still like it the way it is though
Have you done a bigger version btw? I bet you could work some real detail into a design like that? (I always work on an image at a much larger size before reducing for a sig )

It kinda looks like an ear of corn, but maybe that's the old Indiana boy in me talking.

Thanks. Just got it in my mind to stop by today and see what was going on. Thought I might turn a few heads by posting something while I was here... besides, the site with my sig got deleted, so I had to go fix it.

I like what's been done with the place.

HS - your "location" has changed.. have you changed jobs? (or am I now recalling that you changed your location due to some flames a couple of years ago?)

Good to see you anyway.. your sig still rocks mate.

About the sig... perhaps put in a bg to make it easier to see? Also I think font needs to be a little more readable.
But that's just me...it's your sig, man.

I have no sig...take pity.

mas: I like the brighter sharper one. For your name, maybe you could try a different style for the text. Right now its pretty hard for me to tell it says mas.

Human Shield: I thought it was corn too, good to see you're still living, haven't seen you in a long time
