Haven't seen one of these on this forum. The idea is simple, give the signature of the last person who has posted in this thread a score out of 10, giving reasons.


(I'm new here, so sorry if this is the wrong place - seems to fit in here more than anywhere else, tho).

Cool idea! I've actually considered starting a customised avatar showoff thread for a while now, but never got around to it.

I give the above signature (PR) nine out of ten. Beautifully done, but just a little too big for me! Personally I like signatures 100pix high maximum, so they fit nice and snug under your post. Mind you, I break this rule sometimes!

Ok, I know I'm only supposed to vote for one of you, but how can I not recognize both of you? Ya'll are like the premier banner makers on this site! So in light of that:

PR 9 out of 10... only reason it didn't get a 10 is cuz I'm Buddhist instead of Wiccan.

DTH 9 out of 10.. only reason it didn't get a 10 is cuz... well you get the picture.

DTH.. please do start a customized avatar thread.

FM - 9 out of 10 - spreading the word of our good captain, and helping out the performing arts at the same time. Cannae argue with that! (Would give 10, but seeing as how I live in Blighty, foreign peforming arts companies are only ever gonna be second on my list after British. Sorry, no offence guys!)

8 out of 10 for Gladiator32, only because it's not Firefly related...but then he gets an extra 1/2 point because I had no idea that "American" football is played in England! I clicked the link and learned something new, how about that.

Yeah, just skip this post in terms of rating. Wouldn't be fair of me to rate Mav's sig, anyway, as I made it

It's a shot from the movie, I did nothing but trim and shrink it. I could have flipped it, but... Well I didn't know how that would look.
*edit* I tried it; actually I think it looked pretty strange flipped over. Why argue with the mind of Joss, right?

OK I guess I have to rate Mav's sig and Choo's as well.

Mav: 9 out of 10
Choo: 8 out of 10
And kudos to both for quoting Wash.

Mine is so simple if I get above a five I'll be surprised. Then again I like to keep things simple so...

I give you a 7/10, Azhea, but that's just 'cause it's kinda big, and the two animations at once are sort of distracting....It's still a nice sig though!

By the way, mine was made by DesktopHippie.

I give asortafairytales's the highest rating out of the ones I've seen so far.

Most of them are too big and distracting for my taste. It's hard to tell if you've actually commented at all, because there's so much extra stuff. I find myself just skipping other peoples' comments when their avatars and banners take up too much room.

But ASOFT's is nice, I like how the graphic moves, it's smaller and, plus, it's sweet! Gotta love the quote!

So kudos to ASOFT and to Desktop Hippie who designed it.

I obviously don't need rating, I don't have a fancy sig.

I was just kidding! It was just a joke! People can't ignore me, even if they want to. I reach into your brain and can't be removed. It's a gift

Yeah, the "someone to love" banner is one of my favourites. I would have used it myself, but I wanted one with my name. I'm chuffed to see it in use.

My very favourite banner is the "Fall in Love with Firefly" one. Purely because it came out of nowhere and was just *perfect* from the moment I finished it! That's the one with "This is Mal, he loves Inara / This is Simon, he loves Kaylee" etc. I still have no idea where I got that one from! Flash of inspiration. Need a couple more of those...

Anyway, shamelessly self plugging now - There are loads of banners in my blue sun room profile and my website. Feel free to grab 'em and use 'em. Just don't hotlink, cuz I have a very small site and you may well crash it! And you don't have to add my name to your signature or anything - just let people know I made the banner if they ask, and point them towards my site so they can get one too. I'm a hippie. Sharing is caring!



don't rate me already been rated but not ignored. Nope, definately not!

I'm a Doctor Who fan, I always liked that moment where David Tennant was introduced and it shows off the sense of humor the show has. Plus, it's simple.

As for mine, I don't know how to create banners like that, so I just do quotes of something I've seen recently that I dig.

**************************************************
"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
"Four"
You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek. You are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying."

Trash talk between a Cyberman and a Dalek. It doesn't get any better than that.

Serif Draw Plus. My version is version 5, which I got free with a web design magazine. There are usually free versions available on their website www.serif.com - You get the hang of it once you've played with it a bit. You can't really edit images very much though. At least, I can't!

I've always been quite impressed with this banner. Superb blending. Look at the way Inara's hair and the black next to Mal's face integrate seamlessly. It's very clever, as the hair 'doubles' in function, as it were. Zoe's hair blends perfectly with that of Jayne, too. All character images, in fact, are well chosen in this respect.

9/10

1 point deduction because the font-line is cut-off some at the top and is not well positioned as a whole: the font base-line touches/transgresses the bottom of the top-bar a bit; I would then just have lowered the text altogether (so that it looks done on purpose) and have avoided the cut-off at the top. Or reduced the font-size to fit.

The minor critique notwithstanding, this piece is clearly a gem, and artistically one of the best ones I've seen here.

Good blending. The overall serene colors and dito expression on River's face work well together.

The URL over River's head (-1 point) seems a mite in the wrong place (there's so much room left, why cramp it in the upper-left corner?). And "I'm so crazy" really clashes, IMHO, with the scene from OiS (-2 points); especially since that scene is where Joss strongly indicated that River is overcoming ("I can win this").
