Sig of the Week - Week One

​

Welcome to Forge Hubs first SOTW, bought to you by your beloved Mallet. For the clueless among us, Sig Of The Week is a weekly competition in which members submit their best signature and the community vote which is the best.

Each week you will have between Monday and Thursday to submit your signature. These will then be put onto a public voting poll between Friday and Sunday. The winner will then be announced on the following Monday. Each week there will be a theme signatures must follow; these will also be announced on Mondays. If a signature does not meet the theme it won't appear on the voting thread, so pay attention.

So what are the prizes? Well, not a lot lol. The winning signature will replace one of the images in the letters of the banner above, you can wear a userbar like the one below, and you may possibly see your work mentioned in some of the front page updates. The most important prize however is the joy of competing with your fellow hubbers and that warm damp feeling of crushing them in victory, I'm sure you’ll agree.

​

Since this is the first week, I'll keep things simple. This weeks theme is:

Music

This theme requires little explanation. Entries must somehow relate music, whether it be a particular band or artist, an instrument you are interested in or even the lyrics to a song. Please remember the winner will be judged upon the quality of the signature, not the quality of the artist(s) used. Unless of course you happen to use a certain foxy Swedish female, in which case I may have to rig the contest and consequently loose my staff position. =)

I want this to be a casual competition, so I'm not going to impose strict rules or regulations at the moment. These are the rules for this week, subject to change depending on how smoothly it goes with such a relaxed system.

• Signatures must follow all forum rules. This includes those against nudity and pornography.
• The only exception to the statement above is the dimension rule. You are free to exceed the 500 x 150 px limit, but you will not be able to wear it. We all know what size sigs are so I’m asking you to simply keep your entry a reasonable size.
• Vertical signatures are allowed
• You may edit or change your entry any time before the deadline. Once the voting thread is posted however, you are stuck with it.

Use this thread to discuss the SOTW and post your entries. If you do not wish to reveal your signature to the public before voting you can PM me your entry. This competition is for you, the community, so feel free to make any suggestions for the following weeks.
