Title: New Sig
Post by: Broin on October 28, 2009, 04:56:24 pm
Yup it's that time.. I still have that crazy darkfall sig attached to me.
Time for someone to step up and make me a SWTOR and APB sig...

I tried putting something together last night, but wasn't happy with any of it. It continues to bounce around in my head, however.
Soon.

What kind of look are we going for?
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Adad on October 28, 2009, 07:39:36 pm
id like a real light-side jedi look. Like a face shadowed by a white cloak, a white flickering lightsaber in front of it that brightens the face enough to see the eyes...just a thought. Not sure what base scheme we'll choose like with specific logos and shit. Maybe I'll play with it tonight.

Now are we talking about for APB or SW?
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Adad on October 28, 2009, 10:05:14 pm
I was talking SW, we need them for both I suppose. Here's my attempt at a SWTOR sig... Wish I could make the hologram spin, perhaps tomorrow....

Looks pretty sweet.
Although the flicker of the lightsaber is kinda, for lack of a better word, odd.
Something about it doesn't scream lightsaber, but more of a fluorescent light like in stores.
Other than that i like it, especially the holo of the FA symbol.

Did my psd. holo draft help Adad? That looks schweeeeeet!
Title: Re: New Sig
Post by: Adad on October 29, 2009, 08:33:19 am
thanks. Does it need to flicker faster arch? I'm thinking it probably looks weird to u because it's all white, so it does just look like a lightbulb. When I replace it with color, it looks totally normal. But, I like to stick with our all-white symbolism.

I like that a lot Adad.
BTW, I made a post for SWTOR Sigs a couple weeks back... http://thefuriousangels.com/index.php?msg=92743

I am not in any way trying to take away from anything that was done here and Adad, your sig is pretty sick, bro.
However, going back to my first encounter with FA on the original pre-MxO forums part of the mystique surrounding FA was its semi-anonymous visual presence. Each member's sig was unique, yet there was a uniformity to that linked them all that did not detract from the enigmatic quality.
I think when we get into specific "commercial" images and pictures, this takes away from that quality and the mystique that we work so hard to surround ourselves with.
This is just my two cents as far as what we want to keep in mind when designing ideas for sigs.

DAMNIT!!! Adad stole my sig... Alright If you didn't catch what the thread was about I'll refresh your memory...
BROIN... B. R. O. I. N. NEEDS A NEW SIG. Not ADAD needs a new sig... BROIN... jeesh...

Post by: ArchNemesis on October 30, 2009, 04:06:45 am
I'm not sure if it's the speed or intensity of the flicker....
It just reminds me far too much of an old public bathroom light that's flickering.
It's probably just cause it is white. Either way it still looks good.

Those are... space... bullets...
I thought Broin wanted an APB sig. *Sigh* Back to the drawing board.

guys; we going to have conforming sigs again for third party website use? Echoing a concern from another thread we do probably want some sense of uniformity?
Title: New Sig

I was just kidding manic, he wants both

Post by: Tbone on November 04, 2009, 09:31:11 am
Yes. I didn't like that our Darkfall sigs were so different.

Why not just revamp the original matrix FA signatures to fit star wars, wouldn't be much to it...
Title: New Sig
Post by: Eroz on November 04, 2009, 10:42:52 am
Why not something more generic so it doesn't have to be changed every game, and gives a uniform look always.
Title: New Sig
Post by: Heironymus on November 04, 2009, 03:15:44 pm
I always did like these sigs.. maybe tweeking them wouldn't be bad and maybe making them a little larger.. have a different ANGEL for the SWTOR players.. although I do like Tbone's sig I did like these back in teh day.. they were all the same but different.. same with the CR2 update Sigs.. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Inner_Fatman/heiroymus2.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Inner_Fatman/CR2templatecopy.gif) also.. pulling this one out of archive.. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Inner_Fatman/orienneji.jpg) IMO

I like this idea as well; they're clean, small and uniform.

My vote is for this idea. Maybe something to differentiate (sp) APB members from SWTOR members. The sig is streamlined enough so if you play both, you could stack em.
I'm guessing APB is most likely set to release first?

Thought I'd unearth an old thread instead of creating a new one.

Nice white signature.
If there's something there I can't see a thing.
Title: New Sig
Post by: Tbone on January 21, 2011, 01:30:13 am
Yotogi, I can't see your sig unless I put my head against the desk. Is our contrast REALLY that different or is that intentional?
Title: New Sig
Post by: Ghisteslwchlohm on January 21, 2011, 05:06:10 am
Haha wtf, I have to move the monitor a full foot higher just to see it a little bit.
That's kinda cool, but also annoying.
Title: New Sig
Post by: Ash on January 21, 2011, 11:46:30 am
LOL, I created so you can't see anything straight on, but when you either tilt your monitor or look at it from a skewed angle it shows up. It was definitely intentional.

It's kind of tough to read, but that is fucking sweet. Feel free to post the PSD in the dropbox ;)

Ok, because I've had problems in the past with my monitor's white being whiter than everyone else.
Title: New Sig
Post by: Manic Velocity on January 21, 2011, 12:16:59 pm
Heh, I was thinking you had some serious gamma issues with your monitor. Well played. :)

I was just joking about having a CRT. I got rid of my 80lb Trinitron CRT long time ago.
Title: New Sig
Post by: Keeloth on January 21, 2011, 01:49:32 pm
Ah, got CRT mixed up with monitors in general. Mine's a flatscreen, but no matter how I change my iewing angle, I can't see Yotogi's sig. :(

Post by: Lithium on January 21, 2011, 01:57:29 pm
If your contrast/brightness is too high everything will just appear white. What you want to do is use a pattern to assist in setting the contrast so that you don't 'lose' shadows.
