Gents, I notice a number of you have some great signatures (I think thats what they are called) at the bottom of your posts. Some are in fact awesome and so was wondering how you go about creating these little masterpieces and if there is a program available to help a newb like myself out in creating one.
Cheers for any help you chaps can offer. Thanks in advance.

I think a various of programs are used... photoshop, Paint etc

Photoshop for mine, but I put it together real quick so it's pretty basic, and I borked the transparency around the edge. I'll get around to fixing it at some point though.

I know there must be some sites that will generate a sig for you though.

Try this:

stoacademy.com

or this:

anazonda duty officer signature maker

MS Paint here

Paint Shop Pro here

Yeah Photoshop or MS Paint are great, just snap some screen shots in game here and there, get some Fleet emblems or icons(if applicable) and your achievements, etc. etc. can come together nicely for a sig picture.

Neat stuff. Thanks for this.

I might cook something up to celebrate when I get my Odyssey.
