I think it captures the _real_ me, don’t you? Please post your critique. ---

No offense dude, but all of your sigs since the upgrade have sucked major ass and been really obnoxious. ---

If it weren’t so big, I’d be fine with it. It’s clever, and I like the use of color. But the font size and/or bolding is a bit much. Then again, I’ve never been fond of big writing. That said; it’s your sig, man, do what you like. ---

Your name looks fuzzy in the last line. Not that it’s overly hard to read, but it doesn’t have the impact it could have had. ---

Honestly, I saw it a few times this morning and went, “ugh…” I think it should be at a normal font size, then decide between color or bold, but not both. Just my two cents. ---

How 'bout now, my little chickadees? ---

In my opinion, it’s too vertical. I don’t mind it now, with a less bold font, and the colors don’t bother me, but it puts a huge amount of vertical white space on the right side of my screen. Why stack it, when it would work just as well as a single line? ---

Don’t use the large type – it looks too much like you’re shouting. I suspect you do want to imply a stentorian annuncer’s voice, but it’s just _too_ much. ---

Much better now than this afternoon. Two bonus points for colour. ---

I would prefer something like: > [@](#): > > Hotter Than Bond! Cooler Than Shaft! It’s… **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor!** Nothing worse than sigs that take up too much real estate. ---

Lose the size tags. That’s not an opinion, that’s an order. It’s too damn big. Lynn For the Straight Dope ---

It should be on one line and not centered. ---

Aesthetically it’s a triumph, but poetically it kinda sucks. Can I say that? ---

Much better. Now it _kicks_ ass as opposed to _sucking_ ass. It really captures the you-ness of you. 🙂
