Post the most beautiful signatures you've ever seen

~ Post the most beautiful tags you've ever seen ~​

If TH.net had a Post a Cool Pic thread if I recall, then the graphics zone should also have the likes of it. I have seen similar threads in various forums, so why not here I'd say...

Anyway, you can post the signature you think as the greatest, it can be from any site, just be sure to wrap spoilers on any pic/siggie you'll post in the thread for the benefit of 56k surfers.

You have to post the name of the artist/gfxer who made the tag (if it is a collaboration then you should post the artists who did the collab together)

The purpose of this thread altogether is to give people inspiration that can help them do some great things, like making an awesome tag, NOT to give you a chance to rip, for rippers shall face justice and punishment. ^___^

I'll start (all of them are either SOTW winners, 2nd or 3rd placers in sotw):
Ookami

ClyDeft (a friend in another forum)

Toadvine (admin of the forum I'm in currently)

Chia

Trickback

I absolutely love Toadvine's first one. Amazing.

 

[BANANAMAN]

Does Chia's second one even count as a signature?

 

[jonadrian619]

His second siggy is fully hand-drawn and its also an SOTW winner btw (including his other abstract tag, where both tags may be considered scratchworks) ^___^

Toadvine, I like him/her already.
Cool signatures.

Personaly, the only one I really liked was the Trickback one. Since (as I get it) signatures are only use of PS overlay-effects and filters + rendered images and pre made stuff by other people. But Trickback´s one seem to be made a little bit by their self. Mainly talking about the text effects

@iPeez: I don't think signatures only compose of those (though actually that's where i started). I think that signatures are no different from digital/traditional art in terms of artform, the only difference is that their image dimensions are small and their composition can fit into those small dimensions. A sig can be like the one you said, a banner-style one, a photomanipulation, a painting (or a digipaint), a pencil sketch, a combination of stock/photographs, vector art, an animation, a combination of those stuff, anything. ^____^

Btw ClyDeft's first signature on the thread is entirely scratchwork, maybe he used illustrator and PS combined, but well, I still like his work

it all comes down to personal preference, really.

i personally think that it's a 'designer's job to put together and coordinate stuff into an awesome piece.

some people like doing that, while some are really good at doing things from scratch.
