That is because he used a thumb size image instead of the one I posted which was full size. If you use a thumb size pic and try to enlarge, they always go fuzzy, Best to start with a larger image and scale down.

Also you should never use text in a sig.
Even the professionals have a hard time making it look right.

I always liked text in a sig, and never understood why it was always criticized so much.

agree 2-ton. i agree with Rod that it's difficult but 'never' is a bit much. some of the more abstract sigs absolutely need text + how will you improve if you never try?

curiously enough, Rod's sigs have great examples of creative & tasteful text.
