View Full Version : How to make another stupid sig



Nawms
May 3, 2003, 11:23 PM
Okay, where going to design another, stupid sig for your online personale. This is a step by step guide on how YOU can create a corny sig just like everyone else.

1st: You need some sort of huge, bright light source coming from a large, black background.

2nd: After this is accomplished, you MUST have a overly-deep quote from either a. anime b. an rpg or c. your own dumb made up quote like "My mouth is a vacuum for the tears that consume it".

3rd: Now you need a large picture against the black background of an annonymous anime character preferably drawn by yourself.

4th: Now all you have to do it write your name all along the background and go to paintshop and use a ton of lighting affects.

Now make sure everything is corny, espicially the quote, (gotta have a corny quote) and your done.

5) Download as many filters as you can, then use each one on every element in your sig, whether it be the border, text, or pictures.

Heh, no one said they are pointing at yours. Your sig just falls within the other 90% of sigs I'm talking about.

I know, it bites http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif but you got to think, the more popular anime becomes, the better chance we'll get more series here in the states (which isn't the true anime-fans way of getting anime) but you have to support some of the dubbing companies.

(btw, I imported Love Hina, I was told that the dub was horrible)

Its not they bother me that much, especially since I became broadband enabled, but that it seems strange that most of the sigs seem the same.

I have noticed a decrease in this though, which is good.

Here are some more tips:
1) The bigger you can make your sig, the better. If you can get within 10kb of the size limit, you have done the Lord's work.
2) Be sure to put about 100 HTML tags on your sig, too. These are not only cool to look at and scroll past, but fun to click! Clicky clicky!
3) If possible, write your cheesy quote in many different fonts. Half could be in chiller, while the other half is in arial black for example! This only ads to the aura of coolness your sig will give off.
4) The more pictures of Sephiroth you can jam into your sig, the better it will be. This is a given, like gravity.
5) If you are legit, you need to talk about that in your sig. If you don't, then you are obviously not legit.

Kagero's sig analysis:

Dark background: Strongbad's computer
Corny quote: "So I like eggs. So I like to keep them in my couch."
Anime character: ummm, the cheat will have to work (the little yellow guy in the front).

Okay, so this is kind of vague. Go Kagero, your sig is not stupid!

You must have worked hard on it. You did a good joaerb on it. You diserve... a pizza. Or a trophy of one at least.

Okay.

Aurra Sig Analysis:

Dark Background: OHHH ya -10
Anime Character: Well, no. Good for you. +10
Name writen everywhere: No +10
Large light source: Ya, your name not to be too harsh -5
Quote: Ya, kinda "The second legit" -5
Are you legit: Heck ya +15

lets calculate your score: And it is 15!
congrats, your sig is not stupid.
Anything below zero is stupid, and anything above isn't.

But... The Second Legit is a title, not a quote! And it's a joke title one at that! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif (I am legit, but I was probably not the second legit, nor was Guile the first, nor TeamPhalanx the last)

Nawms
May 5, 2003, 09:29 PM
How bout you make it your title then and take it off your sig http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Hey, you got a nice big + 15 simply because that was in your sig.

Aurra
May 5, 2003, 09:33 PM
Because, my title is Un-legendary Veteran! And I am! I've been playing since V1, but who the heck has heard of Aurra? Plus, since Guile and Phalanx had The First/Last Legit in their sigs, that's naturally where mine should go. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Large lightsource: this is hard. -0

-10, ouch. Just think, tho, it was either that color background/pink/or sea green x_X. -5 for my "I Love Shinobu"? I didn't quote anyone on that, besides myself. oh well, you were fair.

If you quote yourself, youve just quoted someone.
Even though it seems just like a statement, because it's written in huge letters all across your sig, I'd say its a quote. Sorry.

First of all that is not a quote. If you want to be precise, a quote is when you put the words between the "quotes"<--- like that.

Now, since I made 90% of FMM's sig, you have to note that the original backgrounds (there were three versions) were all in pastel colors, light colors such as pink, light blue and light green.

Please, re-judge his signature and give it an appropriate score. Thank you! >_>;

I'm just wondering why you're letting a person with a Text sig judge yours but hell.

Nawms Sig Analysis:

Dark Background: No background at all. -5
Anime Character: Nope. +5
Name writen everywhere: No, thank god. +3
Large light source: Nope. No light source at all. +1
Quote: Yes.

"My irrelavence dictates the Universe.
My stupidity dictates the peoples.
My mind hinders my movement"
-15

Final Score: -11 You either have a shitty sig, or just text. Good job Nyan :3

jesus christ, some people have bad sigs some people have good sigs. and everyone has the right to review sigs. no one has to listen to them if the person doesn't want to. or you can take offense to everything. or use it as constructive criticism. everyone here is going to be reviewing sigs subjectively, if we want to start reviewing sigs subjectively based purely on design we can do that too. everyone also has the right to have a sig up/

but if you want to start reviewing something, then you also better have the credibility so that people would value your opinion, and if not, who gives a **** or why should you give a ****. and if you can't have your artwork up in public and have someone review it and critique it, then have more guts to have something up in public. and don't be over zealously defending your artwork. so turn all the sigs off, not everyone has the creative ability to make drop dead sigs, but at least some people try and give it their all. it's something people enjoy, so what? it's good for the soul.

moral of the story: lighten up

Wow. This has really taken off.
MasterM's sig is awesome Neko-Chan, so please don't misunderstand.
The "pastel colors" served as a sort of haze very common in these type of sigs.
This rating is not how much I like the sigs, but rather how much that sig falls into the catagory of "what everyone thinks of when they think of a sig."
Well, Lolita gets it, its just a little fun. hehe.

NP. I'll do your sig.

Dark Background: Well, no. But there is no color at all in the background. I'll give you a +5
Anime character: This is hard. -5
Name written everywhere: No +10
Quote: No. Let me clear this up. I should also say quote and or stupid saying. +10.
Oh and large light source: Umm -0

So your score is: +10. Good.

Now if I were to rate on how much I like it: +50 ;}
