So, I had this brilliant idea (as in I stole it from another forum, digititallyimported).

The idea is, you rate the sig of the person above you, lets rate out of 10, btw. Comment on it or whatever.

I am really bored right now.

I give yours a six, it's simple but not very exciting.

Is this a rating of the graphical part or the whole she-bang by the way?

I'll go ahead and give you an 8.5 - Did you make that yourself? I like the shading, and orange is in these days... Just ask Pantone!

Yes, I did. It's a second revision of my last sig (which lasted almost two years). It used to be a shade of pink instead of blue, and had three lines of text and no apple logo.

I did change it to a much simpler variant, but people complained they didn't recognize me

I rate yours a fiver. It's clever, but would have been even more clever if it actually linked to Post Reply.

Oh, and I guess this sets me up for a second opinion, doesn't it?

Ok then. I'll give you a five because of its originality.

Ciph: 8 because it looks cool, even if I don't know what it is.

MacFreak: 6. Little heavy on the bevel/emboss and drop shadow, but it gets the job done.

(I'm fixing the colors in mine.)

'Fad: 8.5 - I think my internet reception is getting a bit weak because of the storm outside. I'm sure if I could see it without the fuzz it would be worth 8.5.

STFU, moron. you have to turn every thread cipher posts in into a mini flame war, which is certainly uncalled for in this case. just quit it, because it's boring as hell and putting you right up there with Zim & SWG for turning threads to sh*t on a regular basis.

if you feel you've got something to contribute to this thread, then do so, but stick to the brief. if not, leave the thread.

i think jeremy needs a random sig, like Reggie uses. his are kinda cool. MindFad should buy Photoshop for Dummies, or something, jeez. voodoo's is cool too, but i know Face Ache made that one

7.5, I like it. shows some of PG's personality. Also it shows guts, most people wouldn't put a pic of themselves in their sig.

I always have "questioned" Ca$h; therefore, I find it ironic that his sig is a question mark (can't load error) image...

10/10

P.S. Okay, go ahead and rip mine whoever is next...

I've really liked your sigs so far, including that one.

My favorite, though, was the one with young Spirou and the cucumber (I think?).

I give this one an 8.5 out of 10.

6/10. the proportions are kinda funny looking.

I like Andi*Pandi's (8/10): guts for posting a picture of herself and excellent snip from the photo to get a cool look (the full picture isn't nearly as wicked looking!).

That's strange, I've gotten numerous PMs telling me how much they like it. Odd, maybe it's because you hate the subject matter?

As for yours, I'd give it a 5 of 10. Sorry, but your sig is pretty boring. Plus, the whole "sexual connotation in a sig thing" has been way overdone.

My sig's composed of 3 scenes from the music video clip "Girl's Not Grey" by AFI.

One of my favourite bands of all time, and I love the video clip to that song.

The girl is the main character of the clip; it's just a photo of her cut out and superimposed on top of a clip of the band playing on the right. The third scene is behind her, you can't see it, just filling in the sky.

Download the clip if you can.

I'll rate the sigs of three people:

keekeeree - always loved your sig and I don't think it could improve. 10.

diller - 9 because if I said 10, you'd beat me up for stalking Aria.

And because I'm supposed to rate the one above me, voyageur - love your old style sig. 8.5/10.

First off, I think the same thing. Which means I'm writing this to an orange tabby Muslim.

The character in mine was on a poster done for a former employer/client of mine. (I didn't do the illustration.) They are a manufacturer of fiber optic test equipment. He holds a large hammer and has an anvil where he is working on what appears to be fiber optic cable. The poster was titled "Forging Photonics" and done in a Soviet revolutionary style. It was the hit of the trade show that it was introduced at.

I tried to dub the character "Ivan" but everyone else called him "Hank" as in "Hammerin' Hank." So that stuck. So his name is Hank.

I've decided to use him in my sig because he reminds me of a KMFDM album cover or something. And I like the image. And I couldn't come up with something else.

EDIT: Forgot to rate LBK's sig. 7/10. I like your sigs usually. But that's not my favorite one of yours. The kitty is too small. But I do like how much it says about YOU.

andi*pandi 7/10 because your female has hair in her face, can't really tell if she is smiling or not.
