Well, first of all, yes I know it goes over by 30 pixels on the height. Bite me. It looks funky when I bring it down to 100, and I needed the extra 30 to get what I wanted.

That said, I kinda like the pic itself, but not really the text. Can anyone help out on that front? Mostly by telling me a font name, showing me a sample, and then telling me where I can get it if by some chance I don't have it already?

And comments are welcome on the general idea behind the pic itself.

The gothic font might work with your Batman sig :?

Real men use 72 pixels. :P

Anyways, I recommend BankGothic (or something like that). It's a good multipurpose font. It's the Latin quote in my sig.

I don't really have a real Gothic font, sad to say. The only ones with Gothic in the name kinda suck. They're like Times New Roman, only different.

I don't seem to have that.

And looking at a few sites from Google, I apparently won't without forking over the cash, either. :(

Odd, I have it, and the only fonts I've added are true gothic ones (like the "Velociraptors" font). Do you have Agency FB? That's another favorite of mine.

You could always make it in the campy style of classic Batman.

Well, apart from the fact that you'd technically be lying (because you aren't Batman), I heartily approve of this picture.

They look good. I don't suppose you can preview with Bayern and BlackForest an italic, 24 point version of the text I already have?

Okay, I know I have no actual say in this but I veto those fonts on account of being illegible.

they are much more legible at a higher font size
the image was a sample I had put up for Petrosjko's sig.

I have a score of others....
here's a few others I found which I kinda like, may work with the Batman theme

I like the Batman Forever one.
And somebody aught to correct the spelling of 'vengeance'.

Ok, redid the first, and made a second smaller one. Keep in mind on the size issue when in my sig, the new banner will eliminate the second quote line I already have in there.

Also, on the first, I don't like the big empty space in the middle, but I can't really think of anything to put in there at the moment.

Thoughts?

EDIT: My initial thought: a couple more cool B:TAS quotes that could probably fit between the image and the Warwolf on 8 pt DragonLH font (Bolded).

DarkSilver: thanks dude, but as you can see, now they need to look good tiny too. :D

I've managed several posts in a row in AMP without making Zaia yell at me. Don't ruin it. Please.

Y'know? You could always ask JME2 for help. He was the one who made my sig/banner.

What can I say? I like to do things on my own.

But if all else fails I will ask him.

Updated the original, and I'm gonna add a poll. For your viewing pleasure...

Option 1 (To see how big it is in a sig, go here)

Image
Option 2

EDIT: Helps if I don't break the image, huh? :)

You know it's true.
