When is text appropriate for a sig?

When will text distract from a sig?

Is your sig really in danger of being ripped if you don't have any text?

I'd suggest always doing text. It's not that hard to make text unobtrusive and good-looking. Sometimes it even makes the sig better! And it helps against rippers.

Nothing helps against rippers, they will steal it even if it has your name on it and a watermark.

And more often than not, I do not use text, why? I do not like it.

Note how Kenny says this, whilst using an entirely text based sig currently tongue.gif.

Watermarking can help against some rippers.

and text itself is used to give a sig a particular mood to it, or to fill space. in terms of what the use of text is trying to accomplish, Its just the same as a brush. You want a good looking sig, if text makes it look better, it should be used.

Yeah in some places a sig may not look complete without text and vice versa, oh and even having a sig like kenny's could be ripped, M.G posed as optic killer taking his sigs, so i guess you can never be safe online, not if you have a nice sig skill level anyway.

Also text can be made from the background, very useful, just add text, new layer apply then clipping mask, I use this quite often.
