Ok, let's see... "Not too tacky", and "no background fills" means you want to fool people for being serious (:-)), and "professional looking" means you can't have kites flying around your username... There's not much left to the artist, so I suppose you listed the colors in order of preference, because here goes the red-blue fantasy scenario: | |||

You owe me a beer for the copy vio, one more for shortening your sig by 2 lines (by removing redundant repetitions of span), one more for correcting your html errors (color 6 digits and span closings=openings), and one more for the better looks of it (with the date outside and by fixing gradients)!

Hehe thanks but I had covered the date on purpose in order for the sig to look less like yours :-) I'll buy you as many beers as you want anytime!

:If I link your talk in the brb and rbr ones, the markup will become double (if you notice the code, the last part keeps the code of the first using "nesting"). If I break the nesting, I'll have to repeat a second sequence of blueish (in your picked sig) codes for the last part. . I could do it at relatively low markup expense in the br and rb ones. Another solution is to add a marker ''after'' your name like these: | |||

:Finally, a nice suggestion would be to use a redirect account with a shorter name (such as my ]), which would reduce the code length by the size of your name (and it's long!)

Hiyya. A rumour from a certain nameless individual (no names!) indicated that you may be the best in town at creating new sigs. I'd be honoured if you could have a go at producing a new one for me if you're not too busy, and have the time, and don't mind.

:Fine, I'll just improvise. I thought that since you're into pharmacology and medicine, a sign similar to the ] would be applicable for your case (it also looks like a twisted "T" for "talk"). Then I also noticed the nice blue headers you use in your userpage, so I devised a sig that incorporates those two concepts and which IMO enhances consistency in your self-identification: | |||

::Totally against it, I mean it totally ignores it. Here's some things some of your signatures have gone against in the guideline: | |||
*Your signature should not blink | |||
**None of the sigs that '''''I''''' have created blinks. | |||
***]]] | |||
****'''''I''''' didn't create that one. Read above, also check ] | |||
*In consideration of users with vision problems, be sparing with colour. If you must use different colours in your signature, please ensure that the result will be readable by people with colour blindness. | |||
**Contrast is the key for vision problems. You'll find they have lots of it. | |||
***Contrast won't make much difference is the signatures letters and background have very similar colour. | |||
****Naaah. Everywhere it's very different. Mine would be a small exception in the center, but it looks like silver altogether, so the can spot it easier than if they could read it! | |||
*Images of any kind should not be used in signatures. | |||
**None of the sigs has images (apart from my silly ] above, which used it 3-4 times alltogether and is currently inactive -possibly indefinitely). On a lighter note, I'll tell him to correct it! :-) | |||
***I won't moan at you anymore about the image bit, as quite a few users have images as their sig. Creating your own customers? FRAUD! :-D | |||
****He voluntarily visited my shop. I refuse any attempt to convince him! | |||
*Keep signatures short, both in display and markup. | |||
**Ok. Display we're fine, I think. It's the code-length I guess then. I'll try to keep them below the 250 chars mentioned in the guideline. This is exactly the part where I disagree, coz I find it very easy to skip the code when reading in the edit-window. But who am I to argue (]). | |||
***Really large paragraphs of signatures make it harder to seperate users messages :(. | |||
****I know, I've heard that a lot. Not for me though, and even less if you just hit after every comment (cheap, neat and easy). I'll stick to that 250 char stinking ''"rule"''. | |||

If you want to reduce the size by 9 or 18 characters, you can register a two-letter username (for example ]) and we can use it to redirect to your talkpage, userpage or both (like my ] which redirects in mine and is used in my talk link if you click "Silver"). ;-) ]] 15:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

Your signature right now ''has'' all this you requested, and I happen to like it a lot, but it exceeds ]'s limit of 200 chars.

179 chars, blue links: <font face="Trebuchet MS">] <small>(]•])</small></font> | |||

I'm afraid we'll have to sacrifice those links in the end if we are to add more color codes for the rest. Is that ok to try? In that case, do you have any particular color combination in mind? I'd love to experiment, but it's better if I follow your directions... ]] 13:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

I can, but if I do, the code will become huge. Unfortunately, wikilinks do not preserve HTML codes when nested within them, and I'll have to repeat the code for every single letter! BTW, I just noticed that ] now says that signatures greater than 255 characters are automatically truncated. So I suggest you use the last one, but with non-reverse fountain fill. Like this: | |||
''']''' | |||
Long signatures are annoying to some people, and you'll have complaints. On top, my opinion is you do not need to link to your talkpage. Otherwise you're helping other users skip your userpage and not see it at all when they message you. Think about it. ]] 10:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

They are all marginal at 215 characters length of code (mainly due to the size of your username). If I had to choose, I'd pick the purple-aqua (2nd). We can tweak them if you like. ]] 22:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Hello NikoSilver, I dont know if you still work on this, but I have tried to make a signature many times but I don't like them anymore after a few days. I already filled in this form: | |||
BTW the size is 232 chars, so I wouldn't use more code for talk etc. (read ]) Keep in mind that this is one of the most difficult color combinations I've ever worked on. Care to choose any other gradient, or do you like them as they are? Any other modifs? | |||

2. Favorite color(s): Red, blue and green | |||
3. Backgrounds acceptable? Yes | |||

5. Special preference/hobby/habit/obsession/profession/addiction to be included? Aviation, and I prefer commercial aviation. | |||

Evening Niko, do you fancy getting your signature making hat on? I'd like a new signature for when I change my user name to...... User:Ryan Postlethwaite! I'd like something professional looking and not too tacky! Are you up for it? Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 18:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Please fill in the rusty questionnaire:
- Preferable style: "Professional looking but not too tacky"
- Favorite color(s): Red Blue Green
- Backgrounds acceptable? Nope
- Gradients or plain colors? Gradients if you wish It's entirely upto you!
- Special preference/hobby/habit/obsession/profession/addiction to be included? (well I saw the beer-effect in your pic :-) -and the pharmacology thing -no, not the kitchenware please!) Yep, you got them all there, please don't base it on a hand blender or a spoon!
- Answering will speed up the process. NikoSilver 20:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok, let's see... "Not too tacky", and "no background fills" means you want to fool people for being serious (:-)), and "professional looking" means you can't have kites flying around your username... There's not much left to the artist, so I suppose you listed the colors in order of preference, because here goes the red-blue fantasy scenario:
197rbr: Ryan Postlethwaite
197brb: Ryan Postlethwaite
197rb: Ryan Postlethwaite
197br: Ryan Postlethwaite (this one has an extra bold/no-bold feature)
Also, check the other gradients in the shop window, see if you like another combination. Oh, I got the humorous approach too:
Ahem: Ryan Postlethwaite (Heh, you should try pronouncing my surname, I'll send you via e-mail if interested!)
Am I on the right direction? ...for getting blocked over WP:NPA? :-) NikoSilver 22:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
hmmmmmm, is it meant to look like this?! Ryan Postlethwaite 12:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Right, changed the sig back to normal for the second, as I can't get any of them to work! It says the HTML is invalid (or something like that), any idea's? Ryan Postlethwaite talk/contribs 12:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ummm, the one you quote has an additional ">" after every "font". Did you copy/paste it or what? Did you check the 7 steps on top? I've removed those extra ">" in your quote above, and it appears to be repaired. How did they find their way in? NikoSilver 20:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah I followed the code, it says, invalid code, check HTML tags. and incedentally, all the signatures above appear the same to me, just plain black! <font color=#008>Ry<font color=#206>an<font color=#504> P<font color=#504>os<font color=#a00>tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font> 20:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

All increased by 15+1 chars (your space). Do you see the colors now? NikoSilver 20:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Right, gotta shoot off the comp now, but one last favour (and they look amazing by the way!) could you add a link to my talk and contribs at the end? Ryan Postlethwaite talk/contribs 20:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Maaaan! Yo have to check the "raw sig" checkbox, and YES I am rusty, I had forgotten the quotes!! Test it now. Do you see all but the first, or all including the first? NikoSilver 20:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Talk/contribs doesn't fit in the 200 char limit (WP:SIG). I find the limit too low, but that's my opinion only. We need to change that policy... You can add them yourself if you want to violate the policy, but this is supposed to be a legit shop! NikoSilver 20:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- I fixed the first one also since they haven't improved the HTML code in IE7 either. I've been using Firefox for some time, and it "understood" all short versions. I guess I was spoiled by it and that's why I missed some markup. They should all be functional now, yet a tad lengthier, but still within limits. NikoSilver 21:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Got very sporadic internet connection for a few minutes! (WP:SIG's a guidline not policy :) ). I haven't adapted any of the sigs yet, but I will make my selection tomorrow (although I am spoilt for choice as all your designs are exactly what I was looking for!) Might try wiki-linking postlethwaite to my talk page (by that I mean I choose which one I want and leave you to do the wiki-linking!!), will let you know my selection tomorrow!

- I fixed the first one also since they haven't improved the HTML code in IE7 either. I've been using Firefox for some time, and it "understood" all short versions. I guess I was spoiled by it and that's why I missed some markup. They should all be functional now, yet a tad lengthier, but still within limits. NikoSilver 21:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Talk/contribs doesn't fit in the 200 char limit (WP:SIG). I find the limit too low, but that's my opinion only. We need to change that policy... You can add them yourself if you want to violate the policy, but this is supposed to be a legit shop! NikoSilver 20:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
And the winner is........... Ryan Postlethwaite 18:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- If I link your talk in the brb and rbr ones, the markup will become double (if you notice the code, the last part keeps the code of the first using "nesting"). If I break the nesting, I'll have to repeat a second sequence of blueish (in your picked sig) codes for the last part. . I could do it at relatively low markup expense in the br and rb ones. Another solution is to add a marker after your name like these:
- Finally, a nice suggestion would be to use a redirect account with a shorter name (such as my User:N!), which would reduce the code length by the size of your name (and it's long!) This would be especially useful for your talkpage, but I wouldn't recommend it for your userpage, because your name would then not be readable at all in the edit window.

Hiyya. A rumour from a certain nameless individual (no names!) indicated that you may be the best in town at creating new sigs. I'd be honoured if you could have a go at producing a new one for me if you're not too busy, and have the time, and don't mind. I hear you're totally awesome at the job (shameless grovelling :) ) - Alison 23:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Please fill in the rusty questionnaire:
- Preferable style:
- Favorite color(s):
- Backgrounds acceptable?
- Gradients or plain colors?
- Special preference/hobby/habit/obsession/profession/addiction to be included?
- Answering will speed up the process. On behalf of NikoSilver, the signature shop clerk: Ryan Postlethwaite 23:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Fine, I'll just improvise. I thought that since you're into pharmacology and medicine, a sign similar to the Rod of Asclepius would be applicable for your case (it also looks like a twisted "T" for "talk"). Then I also noticed the nice blue headers you use in your userpage, so I devised a sig that incorporates those two concepts and which IMO enhances consistency in your self-identification:
199 chars, no Verdana: :Alison: ₮
...and if you don't like gradients, I'll try with plain color:
...and if you don't like backgrounds, I'll give it a shot with foreground:
...and if you don't like backgrounds, but you do like gradients, I'll try some more:
...but then again, you can use your nice green existing one with the smiley, if you don't like any of these. Note that I inserted some redundant spaces so that the markup wraps around in the edit window. NikoSilver 12:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oooh - they all look so nice. I love the gradient. Let's try a tiny little mod of the last one;
- Comic Sans kinda gives it an informal twist. What do you think? - Alison 21:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Sure (unless we want to scare the vandals off, that is)... Comic sans is fine, but it's kinda thinner, so we need to darken the whole thing by a twitch for vision problems consideration. Here it is:
(I noticed you dropped poor Asclepius in favor of the smiley, but hey, meds are supposed to make us smile from health!)
Hope you like this. NikoSilver 23:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Poor Asclepius! Still, the smiley has somehow become my trademark. And yes, this is just perfect! I'll switch to this one and I'll put a discrete but blatant advert on my talk page. Thank you so much! - Alison ☺ 00:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC) (testing here now)

YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB! Can you do me now? Nothing too hard, just a new font color. Blue, gold, or both please. THANK YOU! --Defender 911 20:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, here:
gbg: Defender 911
bgb: Defender 911

They are all 156 chars long. Take your pick. NikoSilver 23:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

As you know I have already created a signature, thanks to you of course, but I am not satisfied from the result, it must be my lack of creativity. I would be very pleased if you could do something about my case, I appreciate your talent! Could you work on this, sometime? Kapnisma ? 10:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I will, I'll check on it one of these days. Sorry for being too busy, I guess you won't be the only one longing for a proper self-identification provided by a Greek... :-) NikoSilver 19:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Let's try with a smoke:
193 chars: .........Kapnisma.....|| oOoO
I'd add your talkpage, but it will exceed 200 chars. Have fun! NikoSilver 12:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't want to be seen as δε φτάνει που σου κάναμε τη χάρη, βρε αχάριστο καθίκι, ζητάς και τα ρέστα; but I found it a bit large or something... Kapnisma ? 15:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Sign me a siggy!
Hey, I was wondering if you could hook me up with a new siggy. Throw me the questionare and I 'll have answers in a day or two.... TY very much! Felix 19:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please fill in the rusty questionnaire:
- Preferable style: I would like a linke to the User page and talk, if you have enough room than we can do my signature page also. Oh, something not to corny or LOUD if ya know what I meann
- Favorite color(s): 1.Green 2.Orange 3.Red 4.Blue
- Backgrounds acceptable? Yes
- Gradients or plain colors? Gradients is fine.
- Special preference/hobby/habit/obsession/profession/addiction to be included? Hmmm...probably not, but I'll tell you if I think of something good.
- Answering will speed up the process. On behalf of NikoSilver, the signature shop clerk: Ryan Postlethwaite 19:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes Felix, I'll deal with it. Sorry for the delay, but I was busy. Probably tomorrow. NikoSilver 23:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Here:
blu/grn 191: •Felix•
or/red 191: •Felix•
The colors you like in order of preference (two versions). Any modifs? NikoSilver 12:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I probably like the blue and green one a bit better. SO I will go with that one. Also could we include like a little T and S after the name. This would be for links to my Talk and Signatures pages? A plain blue is fine for those. Thanks! Felixboy 15:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, that would exceed the 200 character limit set in the WP:SIG guideline. We're already at 191. I can't make it without sacrifices. Autograph pages wave been WP:MFD'd for being canvassed through signatures, so I wouldn't recommend it. For the talk page, the code would be 35 chars long:
<sup>]</sup>
If you want, we can roughen the gradient and save some space to include that:
blu/grn/tlk 190: •Felix•
I hope you like the result. NikoSilver 21:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, this is awesome. Maybe we could just rough the gradient and save space as you said. That's would be perfect! Thanks. Felix
- I already did that. And I see you followed the 7 easy steps above. Cheers. NikoSilver 19:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
Thank you for making an awesome new signature for me! Please accept this mooncake as atoken of my gratitude. •Felix• 12:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)signature for Laveol
You wrote to me some time ago - I just wanna give it back :) So, Hi. I'd really love to say in Greek, but...not for now...maybe later when I get to studying it.
Hmmm and I was wonering...saw your workshop...sooo...a little tiny insignificant signature for me, pleeeease? When and if you have the time and the mood for such a thing of course. Sorry for the illogical things I write - I'm just happy to get off work and forgot how to use concentration :) --Laveol 17:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please fill in the rusty questionnaire:
- Preferable style: Well, I generally prefer plain things, not too simple, but not too complicated either.
- Favorite color(s):Green, green, green :)
- Backgrounds acceptable? Yes
- Gradients or plain colors? No matter
- Special preference/hobby/habit/obsession/profession/addiction to be included? My nick derives from Lavaeolous or Rincewind, you might find something useful there. --Laveol 22:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Heh, you're right, that failure of a wizard isn't inspiring at all (compared with your performance here, that is). Ok, let me see what I can do with the rest of the info...
Holy Batman coincidence 200 chars: Laveol
Foreground 144 chars: Laveol
Techwiz combo 178 chars: Laveol
Anything close? NikoSilver 23:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
As clerk, I have to say I prefer the third one.Ryan Postlethwaite 23:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)- Clerks are not supposed to comment on the aesthetics. (me too) NikoSilver 00:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Of course, sorry - I'm neutral on everything! Ryan Postlethwaite 00:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Clerks are not supposed to comment on the aesthetics. (me too) NikoSilver 00:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- It took some thinking...the second is great. Shame, there's no such thing as green on green background :) . Could it have something like the first part linking to my user page and the second to my talk, or something? --Laveol 04:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Let me see if I can squeeze it in without violating the 200 char limit of WP:SIG:
Foreground with talk (178 chars): Laveol
There! I added a little "T" because I can't span the color code across two wikilinks without duplicating it. I think it should be fine now. NikoSilver 14:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Let's try it out then --Laveol 15:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Looks great - a biiig thanks --Laveol 15:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC) I'm getting a bit of addicted, you know

- Colour=Purple with Gradient
- Font=Comic Sans
- Links to talk and userpage, please. Muchos gracias! --SweetCarmen 23:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Heh, maybe the Greek questionnaire would be more suitable for you then!
Here we go:
(a) 198 chars: SweetCarmen♥
(b) 198 chars: SweetCarmen♥
(c) 155 chars: SweetCarmen♥
(d) 155 chars: SweetCarmen♥
- Talkpage extension needs another 27 chars at least (]).
- Comic Sans needs another 62 chars at most. Here is a variation of (d) with Comic Sans:
(e) 184 chars: SWEETCARMEN♥
I'd rather we don't violate WP:SIG which states a 200 character limit. The decision is yours, however. NikoSilver 23:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I saw your tweak, and propose you add "small caps" to avoid SHOUTING too much:
205 chars with talkpage link: SweetCarmen♥
If you want to reduce the size by 9 or 18 characters, you can register a two-letter username (for example User:SC) and we can use it to redirect to your talkpage, userpage or both (like my User:N! which redirects in mine and is used in my talk link if you click "Silver"). ;-) NikoSilver 15:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- That last one - the 205 char one - looks really nice & the colour scheme is awesome :) - Alison ☺ 20:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- The user has now been blocked for sockpuppetry. J (T•C) 13:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
A sig please?
Here's what I'd like:
- Favorite colors: red and black and white
- Font: Trebuchet MS
- I'd like a link to my user page, talk page, and contribs page.
- I'd also like a gradient, if you don't mind, but you don't have to do it.
It's much appreciated!!! jonjonbt (talk•editor review) 01:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Your signature right now has all this you requested, and I happen to like it a lot, but it exceeds WP:SIG's limit of 200 chars. Observing the code, I can only shorten it by one character (the code for bold) and I just replace your editor review link with your contribs, which brings it down to 233 chars:
Old 241 chars: jonjonbt (talk•editor review)
New 233 chars: jonjonbt (talk•contribs)
Of course, you could shorten it significantly if you settled for standard blue in the links:
179 chars, blue links: jonjonbt (talk•contribs)
I'm afraid we'll have to sacrifice those links in the end if we are to add more color codes for the rest. Is that ok to try? In that case, do you have any particular color combination in mind? I'd love to experiment, but it's better if I follow your directions... NikoSilver 13:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's ok, but I had another idea. We could do Jonjonb and link to my userpage and add the T so it can link to the talk page... would that be better for a gradient??? jonjonbt (talk•editor review) 17:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, got it: Jonjonbt . Will that work? Jonjonbt 21:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh dear. He's back. Again.
Hey, Niko. Sad to say, I tried to change my sig again, and I kind of a little bit ruined it. The links all work this time, but why is the link to my userspace (DARK LORD) not coming up black as I told it to? ~~ THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 07:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- The wikilink supersedes the color codes, unless you place them within the brackets:
- You also had some "nesting" problems with the two apostrophes for the italics in "THE"; now fixed too. NikoSilver 09:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers, mate. It works now! WikiThanks for your help! ~~ THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 09:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Here's what I'd like:
- Favorite colors: gray/silver, black and blue.

- I'd like a link to my user page & my talk page

Barkjon
Can you make me a sig? Here's the info below:
- Color's: Black and red
- Font: Something dragon- or flame-like or Adler
- Links: User and talk pages!
--Barkjon (talk) 23:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- I see. Color is not a problem, but see the shop window for some specific combinations we could use. We don't have dragons and flames in the fonts available to everyone, but take your pick from there. Links are easy, unless we make something with long code, when we'll just unlink the talkpage. NikoSilver 22:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I like Andale Mono the most and I'd like, hmm, the most dragon-like or flame-like colors would be like red and orange and yellow, how about a black background with the words: Barkjon|talk like my current one with Barkjon linking to my user page and talk linking to my talk page. The words could be flame colored. How about that?--~Barkjon- talk 18:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
See these:
262 chars, all you asked: Barkjon |talk
238 chars, no font: Barkjon |talk
210 chars, no talk: Barkjon
186 chars, no font, no talk, and reverse fountain fill: Barkjon
Just keep in mind that the maximum length specified in WP:SIG is 200 characters. The requested font doesn't show so good in this background, and the talkpage is redundant if one uses WP:POPUPS (or if one just makes one more click); so I like the last one best. NikoSilver 19:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- That's awesome, but can you put the link to the talk page in the box? Or if you couldn't, could you link Bark to my user page and jon to my talk page?P.S. I like no font the best.P.P.S. I don't like reverse fountain fill.--~Barkjon- talk 01:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I can, but if I do, the code will become huge. Unfortunately, wikilinks do not preserve HTML codes when nested within them, and I'll have to repeat the code for every single letter! BTW, I just noticed that WP:SIG now says that signatures greater than 255 characters are automatically truncated. So I suggest you use the last one, but with non-reverse fountain fill. Like this:
Long signatures are annoying to some people, and you'll have complaints. On top, my opinion is you do not need to link to your talkpage. Otherwise you're helping other users skip your userpage and not see it at all when they message you. Think about it. NikoSilver 10:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. Thanks for helping me with my sig!--~Barkjon- talk 22:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
My siggy
Since your done with Barkjon's sig, could you help me with one? I sorta want to have a cool-looking one. I'm not trying to bother you with stuff, but I like customizing my signature. Here's what I like:
- Horses
- Purple and green and aqua blue
- Some font fairly simple
Thanks!Princesspony20 (talk) 23:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I can do the colors, but where the heck am I gonna find those horses? :-) Anyway, here's what I've made for ya:
They are all marginal at 215 characters length of code (mainly due to the size of your username). If I had to choose, I'd pick the purple-aqua (2nd). We can tweak them if you like. NikoSilver 22:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Ya, I like the middle one too. Thanks!--Princesspony20 (talk) 18:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
