Pimp my siggy
 
Hey, i was just kinda bored, so i made my siggy as a personal goal for myself, i was wondering if anyone would like to pimp it out, :) add whatever you like to it, and just kinda mess around with it :)

the person who makes the best looking version of my old signature
(Without altering it "Too much") will get Top prize of 1,000 credits

its just for fun, so take your time and enjoy, do whatever you want to it...

(contest will be over whenever i feel it has generated enough posts.)

Top Pimp - 5,000 Credits
(Meaning: Actual Pimp design meaning anything bling)

Best Design - 2,000 Credits
(Meaning: Best looking, best overall also can be non pimp)

Best MS paint Design - ,2,000 Credits
(Meaning: Best Microsoft Paint design)

Most Comical Design - 1,000 Credits
(Meaning: Worst or best doesnt matter, this goes to the one that makes me laugh the most)

Most Daring - 500 Credits + a pat on the back
(Meaning: Dare to be different! Explore the unexplored! and WOW us with your awesomeness)

The picture can be found here:

All I did was remove the misused apostrophes from the original image earlier because, well... I cringe whenever I see an apostrophe misused.

I'm not exactly sure what "too much" altering is, but here's a different style credit counter:

A bit of criticism, if I may:
1. The composition needs quite a bit of work. There is no unity. There is no balance. There is no focus. There is no movement. There is nothing connecting "BLING", the jewelry, and the text. All the parts look like nothing more than parts.
2. If someone doesn't know that's what the image is for, how would they be able to tell? Has he achieved 10,000 blings? I don't think that's what he's going for.
3. Chocolate Box is a good font, but if you're going for that "bling" look, I don't think it's the best to use.
Advice:
Try to do more than take parts from an image, put them on a background the same color as the original background, and add flat text. Anyone can find the image you used with a simple Google image search for "bling". It takes more effort than that to create something visually appealing.

It seems that's what people tend to think about when they hear "pimped". Not hard to guess why.

Hey, I just threw something together in paint for this one. I wasn't really trying hard at all.When I saw you were making something for him, I knew I had no chance anyways.

Also, I bow down to you Silvuh. I have begged you and begged you to make me a profile layout. I am still waiting and hoping! =)
