I'm converting this into a general, all around signature request thread for the Autobot/Maximal cause.

You guys can continue making Antipred and Antidecep sigs, but feel free to make and post other faction related signatures as well.

Get a theme going with some MTMTE style sigs or something too.

Have fun,

CL

I can try to come up with some sigs later today. I still have a 2:20 Physics class, but after that I can sit down and knock something out

Ok, I went ahead and made one just to see what y'all think of the overall design:

My only quibble is, do we want the Dung Beetle on our foreheads? I was thinking with the single Alt ones, to put the alt to one side.

Or maybe I'm just being weird. Like the choice of green.

I'm also thinking:

"Ever wonder how the Preds were created? Go Maximal in v2."

"Do you really want to claim this guy as an ancestor? Go Maximal in v2."

"The Predacon 'Upgrade' - Does Not Work for Everyone. Go Maximal in v2"

Yeah, wasn't sure about that either. Right now I messing with Photoshop, trying to see what else I can do to it to make it cooler and not so plain looking.

I just whipped this one together using Paint ('cause I really have nothing better to use).

How about the Beast Machines Maximal insignia, laid over a jungle-pattern instead of just plain green? Nothing distracting, just a sort of leafy texture to the background.

Edit:

Kaiju, I like the flag itself (and wonder if there will be somewhere else to use it down the line), but it seems like the little Alts get lost on that very bold black and white back ground, so for the purposes of this, I think DS is more on the right track.

Ok, I'll look around for the BM Maximal symbol and a jungle scene for a background then re-do the sig I've already done with them and we'll compare. In the meantime, I've fixed up the first one I made:

That's fair enough, like I said it was a quick effort. But we are going to have to find a use for the flag.

Oooh... I'm liking that. Might drop the bottom text a little bit though, to show more of the Maximal insignia, fill more of the dark space at the bottom, and have more of the text on top of solid dark rather than green-black transition space - it'll be easier to read that way.

Like this?

News Credits: 1 · Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:29 pm

I'd suggest making the faction symbol a bit brighter (but not too much) so it stands out a little better.

I think that's good enough. You can keep tinkering if you want, but I'd wear that.

News Credits: 7 · Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:42 pm

Well, I took kaiju's advice and brightened the Maximal symbol some:

This is the final copy, I swear :grin:

I'll start working on the rest after class and have 'em out a while afterwards.

News Credits: 6 · Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:47 pm

Kaiju was right, that does look better.

I figure will try to all 'don' them at once when you get them done, as many of us with different ones as possible, rather than letting them just trickle out like the Preds did.

Made one, don't know if it's any good or not. *Cracks rusty sig making knuckles.*

ES I thought you only knew how to use a pan as a weapon???

I do like the sig though

Here are all the ones I've done so far (and any others i do will be put there)

I'm only posting the link, til im perhaps told which can be used.

Ok, I just got back from Physics, and I've started working on the other sigs. I should have them out with in a few minutes, so hang tight sports fans!

News Credits: 6 · Tue Sep 11, 2007 4:09 pm

DS: Cool.

PW: I like it, but I'd prefer if we could keep a uniform look to them. Not a big deal though, so if you want to sport yours go for it.

RP: I'm afraid a lot of those border on violating the board's regs. Even if they would be considered acceptable, I got to say, they kind of make us look like a bunch of geeks stretching for a awkward comeback. We'd do about as well to write: "I'm rubber and you're glue" or "I know you are but what am I?" Also, given when a Maxipad is used, I don't think I'd want to be there. Sorry. The crabs one is a classic staple of internet humor though, it's concise and to the point, and I'm fairly sure it doesn't cross any lines, so go for it.

Thanks to Optronix91 for sparking the idea for this.

Yeah, i figured they were pushing the limits, thats why i didnt post the pics themselves. Most of them were my quick resposes and not planned out. I also have to agree with your opinions too, because i got to thinking about them earlier and throught pretty much the same thing, but as i said when i did em they were just quick responses before the planned out ones.
