Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Not for me though, my roommate liked the sig that was made for me and was asking me how i acquired it. I informed her that i asked for it on these forums and she begged me to ask you guys for one.

She would like it to say Purplestars,

Dark Purple, stars and sparkles required, please. =) Thanks.

200x50?

Tesseract · Dec 12, 2005, 11:34 PM

Here's a quick attempt, I'm sure someone can do better:

Mr Kino · Dec 13, 2005, 12:37 AM

yup yup 200 by 50, that is like a perfect size. Macnn rules rule. =)

Tesseract.... She loves it, but i told her to wait and see what others had in store. =)

Thank you.

Where is she, how come she didn't ask herself? Will she be an 'NN member? Why isn't she here?

Here you go for one idea, its the 1st thing i thought of for 'stars', so i made it purple!

Now that is funny.

NO. She needs to use a starter sig for her first 46.34 years on MacNN. The only officall MacNN approved starter sig is this:

-t

there's my contribution, and now i need to go get ready for work.

Cubeoid · Dec 13, 2005, 08:04 AM

Those stars are a little too cutsie-poo mdc.

Looks a bit like Super Mario's sig, with the radiating lines. (Did effgee design that?)
I like it.

andreas_g4 · Dec 13, 2005, 09:16 AM

Who made your crappy sig anyway?

Who are you talking to?

If me, I make my own sigs. And I agree that my current one is not among my best.

Edit: At the time I posted this, it was the purple "nnn" one.

Sorry, didn't make it clear. I meant the op's sig, since I made it for him. I like your sigs because they're always changing.

I use that quote whenever I can, personally

rickey939 · Dec 13, 2005, 01:30 PM

I suck at sigs.

wdlove · Dec 13, 2005, 01:39 PM

I hope that she will find a sig. that she likes. Had the same situation, someone made mine also.

you're right, the lines do resemble that sig.
when i get home i'll change the radiating lines to a spiral.

Tesseract · Dec 13, 2005, 02:42 PM

Here's another, it's not as good as mdc's, but I've got nothing else to do and playing in Photoshop is great fun.

mdc · Dec 13, 2005, 06:44 PM

a slight change, i'll change the 'rays' to a spiral later tonight

Umm... I doubt i will ever see her on this forum. Not a computer freak like some of us. =) she spends her days on MySpace.

mdc, she loved that one, except the small letters, she stated that she liked the white text with black outline but that it was a little too small. Would you perhaps make the letters slightly larger?

Tesseract I thought yours was awesome, but she liked mdc's better cause it looked 3D. Go figure.

Thank you.

I can do 3d, but I'm not going to try. mdc's version rocks. She has good taste.

Edit: or not, since she's posting on MySpace and not the NN.

mdc · Dec 13, 2005, 10:01 PM

those are the only pixel fonts i have that look okay in that corner. any other sizes bigger than that and they start to overlap everything.
only other thing i'd have to do is to go with a completely different font style, and to be honest after work today and soccer tonight i am so tired. if she doesn't like any of these then tomorrow i'll play around some more.

mdc · Dec 16, 2005, 10:20 AM

just incase anyone is interested in seeing the final version.

On one of life's unnerving coincidences, i only recognized that for what it was because the song happened to be on iTunes as I was browsing the thread.

Creeped out +1

While I like it, the centered star is killing me. Personally, I'd prefer it offset to the right or left. Also, while cliché, it might work as a subtle substitution/overlay of the 'a' in star.

Still, best on in the thread.
