Two more sig ideas....

[TheLoneTerran]

Alright, here are two more. These are not done, just up for some input from you guys. I took some ideas, smoothed things out and made logo bigger. These are just some thems that I'd like to play around with.

Also, I don't want to flood with topics, just wanted to make sure these received feedback. Later I can ask for them to be cleaned up and moved to another thread.

Thanks.

The bottom one is too dark. The top one looks really nice, very creative, I really like the lightening in it. I might play with putting a weak light source behind it just for added effect. The text "beware smurfs and barneys" is too close to the top edge, try and give your self at least 5 pixels, in some cases riding the edge would look ok but it makes it look off on yours, in fact I would say it would look best if you set it the same distance from the black as the bottom text is from the red. I would also try a beefier text for your name on the left side, something without the thin parts just to make it a bit more readable. Over all really nice work.
Here's the tE logo I did if you want to use it on your sigs.

One thing you might want to do is play with some of the color effects. A fade effect from Red to black would make the top one look pretty cool.

Alright, sounds like a plan. I gotta find where the fade is at, lol. Thanks for the tE logo. I will definatly want to use that.

Lone just use a gradient tool with Red and black, and it'll do all the work for ya

[Gunther]

I agree with Rhonnin, Lone. I suggest that you use a lighter color for the text on the second one. Great work, man!

Thanks guys. I will put up more threads when I come up with more ideas. Yes, it's too dark. Gotta fix that.
