Here is a list of signature images I created. Tell me what you think.

I assume the first and fourth are the same. It looks like an eye with a tear. If this is a business card will the client cry if they get your work? The second looks like a city scape and could look cool if the magic was coming from a window. The third one has good stuff and bad. The wand doesn't look like a wand (it is a wand right?) The font used for your logo is poop. The "M" is hard to read. It just is too complex, keep it clean! If it was me I would remove the wand, move the logo up into the magic where the Text seems to be coming from it. (Don't angle the text).
Are you using just one of these? You could put a voting question on top to see which is everyone's favorite.

Lastly why are you working on Logos and not fixing your plugins.....:rolleyes:

Just my two cents. (.015612 Euro Dollars worth)

Edit: Sorry I broke one of my own guide lines and commented on your work as if it was still being worked on. Just take this as constructive criticism. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks for every one's comments.


I made these several weeks ago. I just got busy doing stuff like working on plugins which are now updated. You can take your foot out of your mouth now.


The last image, being the same as the first, really is my sig.

As for the magic hat one, yea it needs work. I basically created sigs out of my best work. However it doesn't always work out :p

Hmmn. I like these enough to say that they all three feel a too little busy to me to work well as sigs. Keep it simple is always a good policy IMHO. They are also a little dark on my monitor - this can work well if you are marketing yourself to the goth crowd but could work against you if you're aiming at a more general audience.


I like the 'eye amongst the stars' idea of the first one a lot. I also like the tear if thats what it is however it also looks a bit like a bleeding cut across the eye which is a very powerful statement symbolically if that's what it is but this could probably be a bit distasteful to the more sensisitve souls.


I really like the city image - cleaner lines, much easier to see at a glance what is going on and the shapes tend to draw the eye into the picture. Again it feels a little too dark to me and the focus toward the centre of the picture created by th4e building shapes actually draw the eye away from your name - which seems a little counterproductive for a signature pic.


The magic hat picture works well as a picture but is way too cluttered and busy for a signature image IMHO. I tend to prefer the second image myself but I'd suggest giving it a little more light and positioning your name smack in the middle - you want folk to see and remember your name so I'd be inclined to make it more prominent.


Hope this helps - just my 0.000215 galactic credits worth:D
