Okay, so I came up with this background from a series of 3d renders I did: [low quality background](http://s94657477.onlinehome.us/showOff/3dabstract_trendwhore.jpg). Anyway, from that I came up with two sigs, and was wondering which one looks better. Sig 1 (no grunge/brushes in the background): ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/606/d8620af268da7711.jpg) Sig 2: ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/607/de28daaadca80f94.jpg) Please be honest. :} Later, –elios ---

I like the first one. It has more of a clean look. The second one seems to be trying to mix two different styles, and just doesn’t work. ---

Heh, well, yeah, I guess it does look like snot. Of course, that’s probably because the quality of the picture is so low. Here’s a higher quality picture: [high-quality sig 2](http://s94657477.onlinehome.us/showOff/dark_abstraction_grunge_hi.jpg). Yeah, that’s what I get for trying to conserve bandwidth… :nose: red: Yeah, I didn’t think about it when I was doing it, but you’re right. Those two things shouldn’t be mixed, or at least I shouldn’t be the one mixing them. :pleased: Heck, while I’m at it, here’s a second version of the second sig: [sig 2, ver. 2](http://s94657477.onlinehome.us/showOff/dark_abstraction_grunge_ver2.jpg). Same grunge stuff, different background (well, sort of; it’s the same background, but I’ve got various coloring layers over the background in this one). Later, –elios ---

sig 2 version 2 is pretty good. I like that one. The background has a lot more depth. ---

yeah make it smaller but i say numbah 1 because the “so-called grunge” you have in sig 2 does not really look like grunge to me…work on it:) ---

Well, this is what the layer set of what I’m calling “grunge” looks like alone: ![](http://s94657477.onlinehome.us/showOff/dark_abstraction_grunge_map.jpg) Does it look a little more akin to the term “grunge” like that? All that stuff is blended together, though, at a low opacity in the sigs. syko: I didn’t have any intention of using it as a sig for this forum, but, now that you mention it, I may have to work on a kirupa-sized version. 😃 Later, –elios
