Silent Wind of Doom Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Fourth thread! One more and I get a free sandwich! Many years ago, I started creating images for people to spruce up their signatures. I've done a lot of them and had a lot of fun doing it. First, some instructions, as people will no doubt ask for this a lot and it's good to have it front and center! Instructions on adding signature images These are for anyone to use in their signature if they desire. On Desktop: To edit signature, click the arrow next to your username in the upper right corner and choose "Account Settings". Click the "Signature" tab on the left and under the text field hit the "Insert other media" button and select "Insert image from URL". All you need to do is right click in my post, select "Copy link address" and paste it in the window that pops up when you click "Insert image from URL". If your browser does not have an option to copy link address, select "Open image in new tab", then copy the URL at the top. All images are being hosted on Imgur. On Mobile: To edit signature, tap the three lines in the upper right corner and tap "Account" then "Account Settings". Tap "Settings Area" and then select "Signature". Under the text field tap "Other Media" and then "Insert image from URL". All you need to do is hold on the image in my post, select "Open image in new tab" and copy the URL in the bar. Paste it in the text field that comes up when you select "Insert image from URL." Enjoy! All Sports Championship Signature Images I'd once seen someone display the championships their teams had won in a format similar to this, but I wanted to make my own version with a more simplistic style and then offer my services to anyone who was interested. Here's a sample of this style of signature image. It's my own trophy case with the wins of the Yankees, Mets, US Olympic Curling Team, Dolphins, Jets, Giants, Rangers, Canadiens, Hurricanes, Black Knights, NYCFC, Bulls, Orange, and my own Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball Team. Just tell me what teams you want to be included and what levels of championships you want to be included. Do you want all world championships? Do you also want divisional or league/conference championships? Do you want bowl wins or scoring trophies? And if the team has existed in multiple cities, let me know which cities you want included! Do you want the Braves' entire existence, or just their time in Milwaukee? I've been doing this for years and have literally hundreds of trophies already rendered in this sprite art style. But besides that, I will do anything I can to accommodate everyone and add anything you want. Images of the championship prizes of more obscure leagues are very helpful. "Where I Come From" Signature Images I've always been intensely interested and had a great love and appreciation for the different cultures in sports, which, of course, includes the logos and uniforms. That's what led me to this website to begin with. One thing I really loved (which was sadly used for only one year and then seems to have completely disappeared from memory and the internet) is NCAA Football 2011's ad campaign featuring the slogan "Where I Come From". In the commercial, different people described things where they came from, giving little snippets about their sporting culture. At the moment, I've only found videos of two commercials surviving on a French video site and two extremely low audio quality videos on YouTube. General Version Big 12 Version (Loud audio warning.) SEC Version (French only video site that asks you in French if you want to pay money or accept cookies warning.) I'd often thought of doing the same for other sports. Originally, I made a full list of phrases for the MLB, and tried making signature images to go with them, but my early attempts were rather pitiful. But I took another crack at it, and the thread became a rather booming affair that I think inadvertently caused the change that currently causes signature images to be automatically shrunk. Because of that, I shrunk them down from their original size to a much more compact package that could fit multiple on one line. Then the new forum sidebar squished things further, so I shrunk them a liiiiiiittle bit more. Each image consists of five separate images: one of the team's home city, one of their home venue, with the teams logo in the center. The other two are different for each sport. If you'd like anything special, make a request. In the future, I wouldn't mind doing the other sports as well. And yes, they're all positive ones. For some, it was tough finding something positive, but I think I've succeeded. You're welcome to link me to images that you want me to use if you have special requests.

raysox Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 You know, just because i've never requested one - could I get one of the championship sigs with the Rays, Lightning, Bucs, Rowdies, and Florida State? If you have the capacity for PLL, the Whipsnakes have two too. It's not much but it's honest work! Thanks ahead of time!
