Welcome to the Request forum. Here you can request a signature, avatar, banner, wallpaper, or other image.
To make it easier for designers, you must follow these simple set of rules and guidelines...
We try to work from the bottom up on sig requests, so bumping your topic to the top is really counter productive. Also, keep in mind, this is a free service we provide, and we are in no way obligated to make anything for you. If you're rude, disrespectful, impatient, or in any way a big pain in the ***, don't expect to get a free sig from us.
With that being said, 99% of the people that request sigs will have their sig made, if they follow our sig request guidelines. Keep in mind, the more info you give us, the better the sig will come out.
REQUEST GUIDELINES
When requesting a sig, copy and paste these guidelines into your post, then fill them out properly. A description of each guideline is below that, followed by a sample request.

NOTE: All fields are not required. Only fill in those that apply to your request. For example, if you do not want animation in your signature, leave it blank.
REQUEST DESCRIPTIONS
--[Text]- This is what text will be on your signature. The most popular itmes are a person's name and usually a quote. Be sure to include a description of where you want the text.
--[Font]- This is the type of font that will be used for your text. An example is Times New Roman.
--[Sig Type]- A sig type is the style of graphics. A wide variety of styles exist. Below are some examples of the most popular types of styles.
--[Sig Description]- Describe what you want on your image and where. The more descriptive you are, the easier it will be for us to make your signature as close to what you want as possible.
--[Color(s)]- Describe what main colors you want in your image. This include the background AND text. Again, the more descriptive you are, the easier it is for us to make your image.
--[Picture(s)]- Provide a link to any pictures you wish to be in the sig. Be sure to not provide a picture that is too small. We cannot blow the image up without it getting distorted.

--[Avatar]- A small image that is usually taken from the sig itself. Simply put Yes or No if you wish for an avatar.

--[Animation]- Describe any animation you wish to be in your image. Keep in mind, it is not a guarantee that your image will have animation.

OTHER REQUEST RULES AND GUIDELINES
ONLY ONE REQUEST PER WEEK
You may only request one sig a week. Reason being: We work for free, and we can't be making sigs for everyone everyday. If you post a request within a week after having an image made for you, it will be locked and/or deleted.
NO MORE MULTI-MINI SIGNATURE REQUESTS
What exactly is a Multi-Mini Sig Request? It is a request asking for more than one mini sig. Only one mini sig is allowed while requesting. You may request another mini-sig a week after your mini-sig is finished.
ONLY GS HAVE PERMISSION TO TAKE REQUESTS
Any non-Graphics Staff member filling requests from the requests board will have their post deleted. If a person asks you to do a sig for them, please keep it in a PM, or at least off the forums. There will be no warning, it will be an instant deletion. If you wish to take requests and be a member of the Graphic Staff, you may apply. Send a PM to any GS member and your application will be discussed. For more information on this, view the General Discussion forum or PM a GS member.
NO OFFENSIVE REQUESTS
All requests must be of a PG-13 nature. We will not tolerate anything that deals with: racism, sexism, nudity, extreme gore, etc. Your request will be locked and you will be notified.
REQUEST POST MINIMUM
You must have 20 legit posts before you may request a sig. If you request a sig without 20 posts, it will be deleted. If you try again, you will be temporarily banned from the graphics forums.
If you have any further questions, comments, concerns, etc. please feel free to contact myself or another GS member and one of us will get back to you.
You may also post in this thread, but once the issue has been dealt with, your post will be deleted.
