Which Sig?

Bigger upper text, no fire extinguisher interface.

Bigger upper text.

Smaller upper text.

Smaller upper text, text is shaded.



^ Which one is best, or do you want to mix some of them up together?

EDIT:
Crap! They're over 20KB even though they're PNG format and less than 300 x 125 (it's 228 x 123)! Even my current sig of the same size and format is smaller in file size (around 9.99KB)! Bleh, didn't realize different colours would cause the size of the file to be different...

Anyway which one is best?

And I'd appreciate the help if you're able to let the sig remain of the same image size but of greatly reduced file size.

I'd go with #3. And about filesize, png is usually larger than gif or jpeg but has the best quality.

Get Paint.NET, save as .png, select 8-bit quality, turn transparency threshold up/down (If you have little or no alpha transperancy in your image, it wont matter either way) and you can get like <10kb on something that would be much bigger in Paint :D

twas how I got meh sigs down xD

<10kb and you can hardly tell the difference

Yay thanks Hair Trigger! *saves it*

Alright I'll wait for more comments first, otherwise I'd use the one Hair made. If more people vote for the other versions, I guess I'd have to ask him to resize again XD

It's just the text that kills it. >.<

Maybe even add a really thick back mat around it a la motivational poster style and use white text.

Might be too big if that happens. White text? I don't really think it fits =/

The one that hair re-sized is siggy link number 2.

Mmm, so should I consider manually adding some flames in the empty spaces?

And so ends an era. The spammers are either banned or gone, who will next take up the banner? Or will they sneak back in under a different name?

Anyway after further consideration I like the first one the best, the fire extinguisher is kinda ugly and I like the big upper text, it doesn't hurt as much to read.

Lol...



I guess I'll just stay with my current sig then. Maybe I'll make a new sig another day...

They dont all suck, but they're almost all the same in my opinion, so I guess I'd just go with Number 1.  It's a nice sig though :)

What do you expect from a work done by MS Paint + Soldat screenshot? XD

Maybe later, I'm very fussy/picky when it comes to anything.



EDIT:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/Bus-Ted/JulianSig.jpg <--- This is a completely different image done with photoshop

How about this one?

Someone from my first forums made it for me around 5 years ago while I was a LF2 addict. I know it's over the size limit (in terms of image size and file size) since that place allowed relatively large pics, but what do you think?

May or may not use it, but it can help me when it comes to deciding for a sig request in future.
