Creations by AZ v1.0

I've been playing around lately, I have some cool flames but I can't duplicate the animation again

Anyhow here is my first creation without animation... constructive criticism is always welcomed because if I don't like your comment I'll just delete it

See !! We told you it was addicting

I really like the font.
I'd probably try to make the images of the players and coaches stand out just a tad bit more by using alittle bit of blending. Perhaps a small/soft outer glow ?
I'd also make the Steelers logo stand out more but using some bevel/emboss and maybe alittle soft glow.

Overall I like it alot man, nice job ! Those are just a couple suggestions from my point of view but if you like it as it by all means keep it

AZ, I got to hand it to you man, It looks good. Also, nice avatar,You're
probably the only regular here that finally changed your original since you been here.

Nice work AZ! I still have to try that animation you did.

That avy is sweet. Only thing I'd do is make the black box white (with no bevel), so on here it looks like just the logo with/flames. Like Captn's above..

I thought about that for avy BR7... I could picture it in my head but I could never pull it off for some reason

I got it now though!

The background color for the area above is #f8f8f8

Here is an updated image taking TG's suggestions into consideration

Thanks Man!

Before:

After:

I'm trying to keep the significant people of the Steelers past as like a ghostly appearance... so when you look at it you don't really seem them and then you're like "all yeah I remember them!"

Please don't think Im an expert Chris, far from it

Those are just some thoughts that I would probably consider if I were making that sig.

Try making the logo with "lumiosity" as well and see if that helps blend it a different way. The only reason being that the "steelers" in the actual logo is kinda hard to read when it's against the "e" in the big steelers font if you know what I mean.

Yeah, at first look, it looks like pure white (FFFFFF), but now that you mention it, it does look like an off white.

What I usually do, is take a screenshot of that page and open it with Photoshop, then use the foreground color to find that color where the avy goes. (click the FG color to bring up the box that changes it, and with the eyedropper click that part of the screenshot where the avy sits, will give you the color you need for your BG).

Anywho... I like it like that with the change you made.
