You can see enough similarities, I'd say that sig was ripped.
zardd just added effects it seems.

Was submitted to dA in November 2010. Accusation is plausible.

Fade animation, placed the original over the sig you received. You can definitely see where certain effects were added.

Unfortunately I have to disagree, Ripping means taking someone else work and passing it off as your own.  This however is the original image of the photo in which I used to construct the sig (as I have proven to wol-funk).  I simply googled wiz khalifia and came up with this as the background image for the sig.  Also I have added a total of 29 layers to create his sig, many of which are different effects and blending options. It is no different then many sigs which are created by using a single photo and adding effects.

Anyone from the "design community" will identify this as a rip.

However, Jsp is quite lenient when it comes to ripping, so don't expect anything to be done about it.

JSP is only responsible for protecting JSP-users from getting their work stolen by other JSP-users. If Reece3 from dA has a JSP account, he should post it in the ripper accusation forum if he feels unjustly treated by this user.

The Ripper Accusation Topic here is a joke, and L_a_c is l.a.c.k.i.n.g
