We need new sigs, and we need new banners as well. Hopefully the two will match in some wayLawnMM said
We've seen lots of custom folding sigs around lately, well, we did before IC went down. Pictures with the stats displayed in them and what not. Why not take it a step farther? Have a little design/photo contest or something, throw up a bunch of ideas for a new sig, or series of new sigs, to use?
Thoughts, comments, criticisms?
Let's see those entries... 
I'll trim it a bit, I tried making shorty aqua but it didn't look as good.General Keebler said
Oh dude, for a first attempt, that was really sweet!
thoughts: less free space around the words... like trim it down slightly I guess; and maybe make "shorty" aqua (like the far right) or something so it doesn't get lost in the effect.
Awesome!
Sweet! I was beginning to think I was gonna be on my own!Zorki said
I'll see what I can come up with.
Will do.TBonZ said
Great start Lawn, add Team to it and we have the first short-media folding sig.
I wish I was better with photoshop and similar programs, who knows, maybe I'll surprise.
Heh, I know bro...what I'm saying is, the photoshop filter uses a color palette, it won't let me use RGB or CMYK codes for color, I have to eyeball it.Shorty said

I got the exact colour codes here. Drop me an email to my addy (you should have it) and Il send you them.
Looking good.. Im about to start doing things towards the team site.. so this is a good start!
lsevald is on the codeMediaMan said
I'll make an offering. The dark green area is for code if anyone can figure that out.

and as soon as i say that i finish... :P
anyways its not too great i just messed with the header graphic a bit, but i like it

I think this is a bit cleaner looking and more stanford banner worthy...
Naturally the choice is up to you, just from my perspective it gets better and better the more I screw with it I think I could look back at this one with pride for a long time though...  The thing I didn't like about the last revision was how seperated the two different erm, light waves, were...doesn't look as good. This way they're more blended, looks more futuristic and sweet lookin, IMO anyways. Still...a slogan would be a nice touch? I can add that easy I just need some ideas for one.

I still happen to have this banner from Icrontic if anyone wants to change the name. Sev made it.
These can all go into the sig generator for later use. I am saving them all.

Thats pretty difficult to do once its been saved as a jpeg and all the layers merge. If you still have the .psd file you can edit individual layers so adding text, changing it, moving lens flares, stuff like that is easy because you can individually select them independant of the rest of the image... Once they merge to jpeg though, you can move stuff, but you get color problems when light creates glare and you move the object that created it...the glare stays Thats kind of a cool lookin sig though...I'm workin on a different size for a sig. I'm gonna offer up the above as a standford banner.

I like the 'jet engine exhaust' look of Lawn's first one.
Clean and crisp is OK for a sig, but for the header I favor hte more radical look.

Sounds good to me... Heh, kinda funny, I started this going for sig ideas and we wound up creating a stanford banner instead. I am working on a sig too, should be sweet lookin when I'm done!

Thrax, Lawn, MM and Film
Wow! What a selection.. hell.. we gotta find a use for them all! They are wicked!
5 Jun 2003, 10:27pm
Just pitchin in where we can.
5 Jun 2003, 10:45pm
Okay, here's my first stab at something forum signature size...should be plenty of room above and below the text for user names and stats and what not.
We need the code king to clue us in on that!

Very sweet guys, I'll make sure to change our stat page logo's with one of these.

I have the pic saved as a bmp but saved it as a jpg to get it to show up on the forums. I dont know much about those file formats but I dont think bmp would help much either.
The x-small ones were smaller than any of the ones so far. shorty, MM: Is this the final colors of the forums or will there be more color changes. I would like to have everything match the forum. Lawn: DAMN. Lookin better and better each time.

No, BMP is just as useless as far as seperating the elements of the picture. The original psd files that keep track of seperate layers are the best backups! Though you can still work some wizardry with jpegs and bmps...its just a real pita
