I think its to bright and the effects you used on the text dosent look very good and it could use a border :P

my opinion of text is that less is more.

often times just a simple dropshadow or outerglow really make text look great

or even with out any styling at all, sometimes plain just looks better

placement is key IMO

go to www.dafont.com and put some cool lookin fonts on and like Maxpower said, less os more, u can find some fonts that dont need any blending options at all.

i think u should change the BR to an SMG, but im white so thats just me

-C.Paul ( i like ur sigs animated anyways, they look tiight )

I dont know, I'm just not attracted to it. I've loved all your other sigs, but this one just doesn't work for me :? I think you can do a lot better, and your old text solution was fine.

Maybe you should provide some critism instead of just saying no eh?

I like it. Much more cool and creative than all the grunge and filter happy signatures seen all over this forum.

eww dude, that blows.




rofl I'm just kidding, Scotty. I like the concept, it's just something about the top transparent parts I'm not liking. That, and the fact that you're going to take the bevel out of the text right this instant... :roll:
