    This ones based more on text, trying to get the feel of my favorite song 'Lateralus' visually, i think it came out pretty well. All of the words are some kind of quote from the song, and i like how the image feels like the climax of the song, right when there is so much going on but only one thing thats truly in focus. Also, the entirity of the image is built upon rotational symmetry (like a spiral.)

    Very crazy and cool sig dawg! I like how this is based around text rather than those weird anime sigs. I think it'd be much better if the text was a pure white, so it can stand out from the background. That's just my opinion though.

    I like it just because it's Tool. I got to see them for the first time last week, great show!

    I don't like how you've overlayed the c4d's on the text, but decent typo sig.

    Wow. The top left and bottom right text actually seems to move on its own for me. I love everything about this piece. Wish I could work in that kind of style... And then frame it in my living room... And then lick it.

    You may always do that if you wish, but remember to let the printer ink dry before you lick it. Just a thought ;) Thanks though, i was not liking that text in the corners at all no matter what i did, then i tried a rotation movement blur and it looked like it was moving. I liked that a lot.

    @Mace: What do you suggest i do instead? I have it doing a subtractive light blue right now, layered a couple of times. I could not find a solid color that didnt seem blocky and out of place, but im reletivly new to GIMP. I couldnt find an effect that would allow the text to be more readable, but not seperated from the rest off the image. Any suggestions?
