    Done and done, as for the third.....

    You know anyone who does avatars on here? I can't remember who I asked 2 contests ago. I'll look through my PM's and see if he is still around..


    Everyone want to toss some suggestions around for graphic ideas. Also, avatar only or sig pic as well?

    CoveyMaster did avatars a few contests ago, PM'ed him to see if he would be willing to do so again.

    Alright guys, Covey said he could help is out. He's got limited time to do it, hoping to get a bit of group consensus of possible. Would really like to get him some baselines no later than tomorrow afternoon.

    Tony stated what I'm sure everyone had in their mind, that trophy sneaking through behind you.

    2 seasons ago the team I was on went with fatal trajectory. He made an awesome sig pic, and I think that would be the best way to go of he is willing. Here is how it turned out.

    I'm going to give him a rough idea, see if he can work his magic and we can go from there

    I shot him a quick thought, I think the avatar size is a bit small to get overly graphic with it. The sig pic would probably be the best route for that concept.

    Sig pic sounds great and thanks for taking the lead CLS.

    This team has some potential to do some damage. Here in my county we have a month long early doe season from Sept 5-Oct 5 or so. I'll be out a few times during September to see if I can put a doe down.

    Hey guys, happy to try to work something up for you. As cls mentioned the avatars and the sig lines are pretty restrictive on how creative a person can get. I mean you can put all kinds of stuff in them and have them looking cool and all but by the time it's shrunk down to fit forum allowances the detail goes away and you can't tell what it is, lol. You have to try to hit a balance of simplistic form and function but creative enough to look cool.

    If you have any thoughts on team colors you'd like incorporated into it using the sig cls posted above as a baseline, I'll work on some ideas. A buck stalking a hunter might be doable and look cool, I like that idea and think it would really get the idea across about watching your 6 o'clock.

    Thoughts on the sig tag? Someone can save this to their sig setting and see what it looks like in actual size. I'd do it but don't want to catch flack from my team, lol.

    For the avatar, think you could drop the compass clock, have Team Six in the black above and maybe do a transparent Watch Your with the emphasization on 6?

    Going to try the sig line, not sire if it will let me from phone or not

    I assume you meant "Team 6" rather than "teal 6"? And by "drop the clock" you mean lower it or cut it out?

    OKay.
    Wow, that sig looks remarkably blurry?
