The USA Sig!

I like this much better than the GLA one my friend. Probably because the copied renders don't clash as much on this. The right hand logo is still more prominent, but not to the rather disorientated extent as before. This is good work, I would just not have used that brush on the corners tbh. Perhaps you could've duplicated the hegaxons, rippled them, then erased the middle part so you have the edges distorted but not the centre. Keep up the sig making mate.

Do I smell a Chinese "stock" sig around the corner as well, because I' starting to see a pattern ?

Hmmm... wouldn't you like to know.. Does this answer your question?


P.S: I couldn't find a good China logo, that's why the outlines are so messy.

And by the way, I'm going to add like renders and crap into these sigs next, followed by their generals. :rofll:

[AfterFlash]

Sorry for 2 post, but are there any requests??

[Wizard]

Yeah, can you change the USA one to a blur. Would like to see that.

[AfterFlash]

EDIT: Nevermind.

Here is my remodified USA Sig!!

Kinda blurred and sharpened the icon just a bit. The borders have been edited as well, BTW, if anyone is using GIMP, can you help me make cool sigs? Because as you can tell, I'm not very good..

The background in these sigs seem to have absolutely no relevance to the foreground, apart from in terms of color

I think this is better than the previous, whilst the corners are actually harded to see now cause of the blur it makes it look better because of subltey. This is a definite improvement IMO. Though perhaps you might have wanted to erase the blurred layer towards the middle a bit more.

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind next time I make a sig.

Hey why is no one coming anymore? Me sad..

Give us something new! We are members of the MTV generation and our attentions spans ...............................

[AfterFlash]

O..k... Anyway, here's a sig to advertise my mod.



Hope you enjoy it. And BTW, I have Photoshop now, just don't know how to use it...

[Lord Atlantis]

I think that you should bring the Generals "Hour of Chaos" logo out in front of the border... it will help with the clarity of it. But its ok all in all...

[Dauth]

From what I've seen photoshop will greatly enhance your sigs, work hard at learning and it will pay off.

[Wizard]

Ho Ho Merry Photoshop Afterflash! Glad to see you have joined the darkside, finally. As I said to you the other day it will very much make a difference to your skillz. I see your kung foo growing stronger already! If you want to know something mate just ask me! Nice logo btw, better that the other one. Am working on what we discussed still though.

[AfterFlash]

Remodified Sig :



Thanks to Wizard's advice!

[Ellipsis]

Maybe change the font of Hour of Chaos? Thats just my opinion.

[Wizard]

Improving. For effort you get high marks and I am not going to bring you down with crit today as this is your first real go with PS. I will say you have huge potential my friend. HUGE. Perfection comes with time. I am a bit concerned about the pixelation of the logo. Think maybe the render was over cut. Try to make the emboss on the HOC text more subtle because at this size it just makes it hazy.

Keep it up!

[AfterFlash]

Ok. this is my last and finished product.



Whew... took me a while to make it but.. as long as it all pays off I guess..

[Lord Atlantis]

I think that the three symbols for the sides should be behind it because it gets in the way of the logo, but otherwise nice job. =)

[AfterFlash]

PS is confusing you know I tried to use GIMP on it and still the "Addition" thing doesn't solve the entire problem.

[Lord Atlantis]

Why not keep the same effect of the renders, but move their layer to behind the logo's layer?

[AfterFlash]

Then you can't see it, my plan was to place some effects (along with the logos) within the "GENERALS" logo without letting the effects affect the background.

[Lord Atlantis]

I would try a "Grain Merge" action instead of addition. It may get better results.

[AfterFlash]

Hmm.. well ok I think I'll try that. Anyway, do you know of a good website where I can get Generals and other games renders?

[Lord Atlantis]

Check out the Sig Help Desk. You should be able to get some good links where you need to go, especially since you are a PS user.

Do you need some high-res screens of the general's logos?
