TPM Signature Bank

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

The title may be misleading, but I thought it would be nice if we had a thread where we could immortalize our old signatures and add new ones. That's a way of keeping track of everyone's outlook that is displayed every time we post. Also, you can comment on other people's sigs:

Here's my newest sig:



And some blasts from the past:









Remember that you shouldn't post too many pictures per post, as it makes the page too heavy to load \m/

The current rule would be 5 images per post, but this is a subject to change.

[Asilynne]

This is a good idea

[Jeff]

Very cool idea for a thread.

Let's see, when I first joined, my sig was completely text-based and looked like this:
-Jeff
Then I made it bigger
-Jeff
Then I saw some sigs with text gradients, so I made my own.
-Jeff

I had that last one for a while, but I started playing around with Paint.net since I was using it to make images for the main site. I saw some online tutorials for some neat effects like the shiny brushed metal look, and added a gradient tint to it, to keep that green-cyan gradient that I had for so long. I had just registered at serebii with the name Pokemaster Jeff (since Jeff was already taken), so I used that as the name on my sig.


I ended up changing it mostly because of Bulbagarden. They were planning on upgrading to VB4, but due to the new layout (with the sig sitting underneath the avatar and profile info), the admins there decided to put some heavy restrictions on sig height, and my sig didn't make the cut. I also figured it was time for something new, and decided that it was time I added the Pokemon font to my Pokemaster Jeff sig and gave it a brighter look, so I came up with this:

Looking back, it could have probably been better, but I was rushed since I had to switch to the shorter sig. I accomplished what I set out to do though, this one is only 75 pixels tall, compared to the older one, which is 100 pixels tall.

My current sig (as of me writing this post) came about when I was working on re-doing the TPM logo in 2011 since my image editing skills had improved since I had made an older version of the logo back in 2009. When looking at the image with just the blue outline and shadow, I actually really liked the look of it. I figured I'd stick with the traditional blue and yellow look for the logo, but liked the outline and shadow only look so much that it became my new sig. With the same green-cyan gradient I've had since the beginning and a faint dark outline to make it work on light backgrounds, I came up with my current sig, which I don't intend on changing any time soon:

It's also even smaller than my previous sig at a mere 61 pixels tall. The actual text is bigger due to it having no background.

[Blademaster]

Mine are probably still on Photobucket.

I'm too lazy to go check.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll dig up more old signatures.









And finally, my newest sig. I chose it because the 1st of May is more than the Labor Day in Finland, it's also the day of the baccalaureates!

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

I've been using the same signature for over ten years. I actually don't think I ever had a different one. ~_~

Only the text in green is changing once every blue moon.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Well, I can't really get a pic of my old siggy because I don't remember the exact colors that I used, but I found a very old post of mine on the archive from 2001, here's a link that is pretty much what my original siggy looked like, but without all of the weird non-working coding. Brings back such memories... barely 16 years old at the time of that post, would love to go back to how things were back then, even for a day!!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I remember AVMA having a friends list in the banner. It was a custom in the early days of TPM.

Here are more old sigs of mine:

Hm, that might be true. I probably had a link to the Super Mario Bros. club I ran in PCG back in the day, too.

[Magmar]

Oh my god, throwback! Ahahaha

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, every signature has its own story behind it.

I used to have an account in my old school message board. I had an offical Sailor Moon image as my signature there, but my teacher complained to me about the copyrights of that one, so I had to create this picture here. I have used a variation of this one at TPM, too, multiple times.



I even have had a Sonic-themed signature although I prefer Mario. The quotes are from Shadow The Hedgehog I bought for X-box back there.



This signature I made just before returning from summer holiday 2012, not knowing that the girls in the school would actually greet me this way. Or at least they appeared friendly and called me Mikachu.



This signature is also a timeless one, although I'm not the only representative of Finland here at the moment.



And finally, my newest sig. A friend of mine who is into graffiti helped me to create it.
