I know there are a lot of members on here that don't have skills in GFX Design. So in this tutorial I will be teaching you the simplest way to create your very own signature that you can be proud of. And no programs are necessary!
Key Features:
- Fill

- Outline

- Shadow
- Effect
- Colors
- Layout

Follow these steps and you can create your very own text signature:
- Go to http://www.cooltext.com
On this site you can create your own logos, buttons, banners, etc.
- Select the type of logo you would like as your sample.

I usually use the one shown in the spoiler, because to me it seem that I have more options on what to do with it.

- Editing your Logo
I'm going to create a logo using the logo style I selected in the previous step.

The first thing I am going to do is change the order of the objects in the logo. To do that you simply click "Layout" and I'm going to make it so the picture next to the Text is centered behind it.
You want to set the picture color number to #333333 (Be sure to set the Fill and the Shadow to "None"). That will make the picture transparent on Hack Forums. I will then set the size of picture to 10, so it's as small as it can be.
Then go to where it says Line 2. Change the font size to 5, and set the color to #333333 (Be sure to set the Fill and the Shadow to "None"). Then replace the text "Graphics Generator" with a "." so that it's virtually invisible on HF.
Now go back to Line 1. Change the text to whatever you desire, in this case I'm going to use "The Alliance."
This is what it will look like so far:

I'm then going to change the type of font I would like to use, there is a mass list of different styles of fonts that can be used or downloaded here.
I am then going to go to "Gothic" and select "Plain Black."
Then I will change the Render on "Line 1" to "Three-Dimensional Sharp."
This is what it looks like so far:

Now I'm going to start changing some colors. I am going to change "Color 1" to Red and Change "Color 2" to White.
You can then change your Shadow, in this case I want to use "Glow."
And I'm done with my logo, now all I do is save it to "My Documents" and then upload it on an image hosting site.
