here's a sampling of the sigs that vace cooper has made for the clan... my favorite isn't included but is the last sig flashed on our current sig... a lot of these sigs have cool forum stories surrounding them, especially the camo one with the prison bars and black out bars over our eyes (nothing like banning an entire clan for having our own pics in our own sig which we all chose to use in our sig)... anyway, good luck!! let me know when you figure it out!!! and on a side note our last sig was made in 20 minutes after i called coop on the phone and ordered a new one up...-the black jesus

p.s.-the first big red one was the first sig coop made. we weren't even an official clan, all of our "members" are on the sig... we were warned that we couldn't claim to be a clan... this place can be so whack at times...

GIMP download page:
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

GIMP manuals:
http://www.gimp.org/docs/

What you do is you download GIMP and then start learning how to use it. Read the manual through and practice everything while you read. When you're done you should have all the necessary skills to create sigs or any other graphics work. Whether you have the talent... well, that's up to you.

i stand corrected... i do love the space and vomit maps, too bad the forum didn't have a sense of humor back then... and i love that recruitment sig when the bandits were just 2!!! so, you just use PS and that's it? or is that a trade secret?-0

I don't recall why I got a steaming turd on my brithday. But thanks!

There is a user group called the Sigatar Lounge where people make sigs for you and teach you to make your own. If you want, you could send a private message to psychobkrazy and ask to be added to the group.

but can he make sigs like the BANDIT SIGS?! that seems to be the question... anyone can make a sig, but our sigs stand out and are quite unique... maybe he is just asking how to animate them... i don't know... if it is the coolness factor, i'm not sure cooper can help him... this is such an open ended question, i am not sure how it can be answered unless the OP gets more specific...-the black jesus

No. They might as well change the name of the usergroup to "The Lounge Where Signatures Inferior to those of the Bullet Proof Bandits are Made."

I didn't want to be the one that had to say this, but owenshooter, that sig makes you look fat.

Indeed MF, your incisiveness and obvious talent for spotting the reality of this situation deserves applaud. I shall go forthwith and ensure a record of this congrats is enshrined in that most famous of GD threads, 'General Congratulations'...(found here for those of you who have been asleep for the last couple of years....or not been to this haven known as cc...viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46658&start=2520 )

The sigatar lounge has been pretty dead for a while. There's just me and maybe 2-3 other active posters there.

I think the question should be, what makes a BANDIT SIG?

What exactly are the fundamental elements that need to be combined to form an actual BANDIT SIG?

Most sexy people have good asses.

cooper is the element that can not be recreated... we can make as many suggestions and ideas as we want, but when it rolls out, we are always pleasently shocked at the end result... cooper would be best to answer this...-the black jesus

What you do is you download the gimp, and then start learning how to use it. Practice by reading the manual and all, and you read. When you're done, you should have all the necessary skills to create tangible benefits the work of the Panel or any other graphics..
