@soul it looks fab so far. easy to read and the theme is really calming

@zheng this is totally the place for that. it looks great! smaller sigs are always refreshing. very neat, not overcrowded. and the art is fab c:

[sicknasty]

what's,,, "coding"
i really want to make interesting sigs again rather than my usual bland centred
w/ lyrics combo, but idk where to find good images. how do you guys find
images/gifs that suit your theme?

@zheng: such a cute sig! it balances really well, and the colours are nice.

what aspects of coding do you think are popular in sigs right now?
dingbats are big as always,, i haven't noticed any particular themes emerging,
but i have noticed a lot of people are getting into those really cursive fonts
that i personally find unreadable sobs

what is your favourite sig size? [small/medium/large] n why?
i love all sig sizes sobs
as long as they're done well they can all look amazing! i love tiny aesthetic sigs
but i also love HUGE COMPLEX SIGS with lots of gifs + dingbats, so i'm not really
much help!

in your opinion what are some popular themes right now?
youtubers. one heck of a lot (maybe that's just the circles i'm in?) i also see a lot
of video game sigs, kpop (as everyone has mentioned), and general hipstery
'tumblr' sigs.

wooh I've been meaning to post here for awhile but never really had reason to, but I really want to answer these questions so hi I'm Drums.

what aspects of coding do you think are popular in sigs right now?
large, dingbat filled or small and aesthetic are what I've been seeing.

what is your favourite sig size? [small/medium/large] n why?
I love all sizes! If it's done right, it'll look good, no matter the size.

in your opinion what are some popular themes right now?
k-pop
just, k-pop
I wanna see more Doctor Who themed sigs, come on people

[scxr]

heyo, haven't been here in a long time. just popping in to look at peoples' sigs and answer questions.

what aspects of coding do you think are popular in sigs right now?
i've been seeing a lot of small and minimalistic signatures (similar to mine) popping up, which i'm honestly a fan of; i love pulling ideas from them.

what is your favourite sig size? [small/medium/large] n why?
small sigs are my favorite (obviously). i enjoy the idea of conveying who i am in an almost effortless way, with simple but intricate details that make the signature harder to code than it looks.

in your opinion what are some popular themes right now?
youtubers, k-pop bands, anime characters, and generally aesthetically pleasing sceneries are some popular themes i've come across.

anyone got any pointers for making small sigs?

[yinsum]

@ghoul

for the super duper tiny ones:

- one image
- short quote
- short bio
- four links tops
- one column!

small but not as small:

- less than three images
- short quote
- less than two lines of bio
- one line for links

,,, mm

@ghoul.
I am by no means a small sig expert (only just got into them, really), but here's the pointers I have!


• Keep it simple! Don't go crazy with insanely edited images, and instead try and keep it somewhat minimalistic.
  
  
• If you do have an image that pops a bit more or is heavily edited (you probably know the kind I'm talking about), then I would try pulling things from that image and using them somehow.
  
  
• The little things matter! It's going to be very small and compact, so try and fit any text you have in as few words as possible, and any recurring symbols you have, feel free to use sparingly.
  
  
• I know this is kind of an overused phrase, but less is always more when it comes to smaller sigs. Though this may be a personal opinion, I find that the best small sigs aren't too busy and keep things nice and easy. Heck, mine's just a few right columns slapped together alongside a few images (though most are borders).
  
  
• Image lives matter! If you're going to use images, I would recommend either doing one central image and then a few smaller ones (border images are nice too, but don't go crazy. Otherwise, using many small images is alright, too, just don't go crazy! When I do small sigs, a majority of the images I use are for borders, though that does not mean your small sig has to have borders, too!
  
  
• You should be able to keep your own style you use for bigger sigs and kind of shrink it? It's kind of an odd concept, but just try and go with it. Go through the same process you would with your larger signatures, and make it fit into a smaller shape.

I really hope I was able to help!

[Yeegurt]

Hi there! I was hoping if I could get some help/criticism with my signature? I wanted to add two more pictures to it but I'm not really sure where I should put them. I think I need a general rearrangement with my signature. I also think the pink/black aesthetic doesn't really fit with my avatar, either... Should I keep it?
Thanks!

[ativanblues]

thank you sm to everyone who helped !!

[deaf]

ack-- just made my first solo sig shop. and also:
i want to change my signature again soooo bad,
but i kinda like this one. im settling into a real
groove though, which i'm glad for. any of y'all
having a good time coding recently, like plowing
through sigs/forms/shops/etc.? just wondering.
