[REQ]Army Based Signature

[Platinum.]

Name: No text is required, however if you want to throw in my name, please don't include the period at the end, just "Platinum" please.

 

Size: 400 x 90 (width x height) (pixels)

 

Theme: United States Marine Core (USMC) theme.

 

Resources: There's no specific pics I'd like you to use, but please NO Battlefield 2 or any other popular army based shooters screenies. Try and find real life Marine pictures to use.

 

Colour: Yellow and black, to suit Zaibatsu. This isn't required however, but if you insist on having a colour scheme then use that.

 

Additional Info: Try not to just get a picture of a Marine, and give it text and a border. When you've found a decent image, if you can, would you please sort of edit it to make it look duller, or more colorful, or put emphasis (sp?) on certain parts of the image, whatever you think would look good.

 

Thanks very much.

 

READ THIS PLEASE

EDIT: Cheers Joey. Sorry, it's my fault I forgot to add this in the descrip before you made that. Anyway, could the signature contain actual marine soldiers, not just the flag or logo or something. My apologies.

I'll have another go later.

 

Edit: Meh, just realized how much it sucks. Expect a much better one from me later on..

Not my best effort ever but I couldn't think of anything unique to do without using just the USMC Emblem:

As you can see, there's a subtle pulsating beam that goes off everyonce in a while, i tried for the simplistic war effort.

 

If you don't like it, i'll make another one tomorrow.

I started it so I decided to finish. Its nothing nice.

This is a composite of a pair of news photos and a mountain background all colorized and then overlaid with the marine anchor insignia and text/border.

 

#1 Mostly desert colors but Insignia is normal metal colors with text/border attempting to match it.

Now, a lot of designs were toyed around with, but the final one is y far my favorite. I'll start with the 'others.'

 

 

 

Meh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too much is in those I think... So what not go back the the cliche bar sig while incorporating what I still ike to do with text.... Use them both and have the text as an image itself!

Mercie, you are sexier than sex itself. That last one with the transparency makes my eyes water it's so beautiful. Thank you.

 

Cheers to everyone else also, they are all very good. You'll be remembered by me in case you ever need help with anything.

[TheRoper]

That last one is real nice, Mercie. But unfortunately, it's too tall. The main image is 124px tall and the smaller ones underneath are 43.

That's a total of 167, 17px too high.

 

 

Still, very purdy.

[Platinum.]

Oh yeah, just fixed it.

 

And this page is stretched like a mother f*cker.
