Text is pretty bad as others have pointed out. For one the color makes it seem out of place but the typeface and size of the text is what hurts it the most. Is that a random half of a Ying-Yang in there? Biggest critique would be to not be so hard up on the Orange/Purple Gradient. Gradients are nice but only when they're treated with respect of what's already there. They can really enhance your color scheme but when it's apparent that they're just used as a quick fix it's 90% of the time not a good thing. It can work for sure but it doesn't here.

I'd work on trying to put some depth into it as well. Which is another thing that most over saturated gradients do they kill any feeling of depth because there's no range of color imo. When you're starting out I would just stick with a certain effect be it the bubble shapes or the lines. Don't try to do too much at first sigs to me are a lot like good food and the best food is simple and amazing by just letting the key ingredients shine. When you start putting massive effects in a sig it can become clouded and crowded quick so I'd suggest simply trying to use as little as possible and make the little things good before throwing everything at it. Need some commas in there somewhere I know but my cat is laying on my hands and it's a struggle to even type so fuck commas.

Listen here jackass, you can give advice when your own sig isen't a horror story of animation, shit effects and so pixilated that it looks like it could be rendered on a game boy classic...


what i posted was like 15 minutes? by the way....i made the sig i use....so suck it troll.

@Heratic...i mostly agree with what you said, sounds like u know whats up...unlike the trolls with mediocre unoriginal looking sigs...that they might not even have made themselves...


other advice: keep doing tutorials, on JSP/google search or youtube. :P

it's a good sig, the quality is fine and what they said about the text is incorrect. they're spaced fine. sounds like trolls to me. myself i prefer smaller text that's more discreet when it comes to smudge sigs but that's just an opinion. it's fine. nice work!

P.S. i'll upload one i did the other day for free that has some "overpowered" text. :)
