Forum Signature Store!

It's with great pleasure, that I welcome you to the Stonewall Fleet Forum Signature Shop, being operated by your Fleet Resources Department.

In recent months, the fleet has seen extraordinary growth, and an increase in the usage of the stonewallfleet.com forums. Many members have voiced their desire to customize their forum posts with their own, custom signature, which can be affixed to the footer of their posts.

For those members who don't have the necessary time, software or skills to create such a signature, we're happy to now be able to offer you your own, custom signature graphic!

Disclaimer
The Forum Signature Shop is currently run by a single volunteer. As such, please understand that while we'll try our best to get your order to you as quickly as possible, you may need to allow several days for your order to be filled.

Please also understand that the shop operator is not a professional graphics artist and that the skills used to create the forum signature are self taught. You can expect your forum signature to resemble the examples depicted in the second post of this thread, in terms of quality. Please also allow for some artist discretion in terms of text styles and coloring. Be aware that backgrounds can be color-shifted with ease, to best suit your character, his or her vessel and faction.

Cost
Signatures are offered in two tiers of detail: simple and complex. The goal of providing two tiers of detail, is to be able to provide a quality product for those members on a budget, while also providing a more detailed option for those who would like a more custom look to their signature and are willing to pay a higher price.

Simple option - price: 250,000 energy credits

• Available for both Size 1 and Size 2 signature options
• Features your own character image
• Uses a single, background image
• Uses a ready-made ship graphic of similar design to your own

Complex option - price: 1,000,000 energy credits

• Available only for the Size 1 signature option
• Features complex backgrounds, shadows and fonts
• Features your own character image
• Features your own ship image
• Features your ship or character in an action shot (scanning, shooting, launching fighters etc - artist's discretion)

The cost for a simple forum signature is 250,000 in-game, Energy Credits, while the price for a complex signature is 1,000,000 in-game Energy Credits. You will make your energy credit payment, by way of a deposit to the Stonewall Fleet Bank, AFTER you've received and are satisfied with your forum signature.

The revenue from the forum signature shop, assists us in keeping the Fleet Banks stocked, and allows us to purchase prizes for events hosted by your Fleet Resources Department, such as the Halloween Event, the Trek Trivia Events, the Scavenger Hunt Event and many more. Your purchase directly supports your fleet. None of the profits from this store are personally pocketed by any member of the leadership team.

Boooooo

Nick wants one as well! :)

You'll notice I'm still using Nick's ;)
Most people can't afford his services!

...

Beautiful sigs guys. Nice job, Vol!

Update: when placing an order, please also post a reply in this thread, so I can ensure that your email went through. With multiple screenshot attachments, I just want to ensure that all emails are in fact, being received.

I'm also open to feedback in terms or style, design and pricing :)

Thanks!
Dave.

This looks fantastic!

I had assumed that the actual screenshot of my ship would be used, but I understand now why it wasn't. It would have been nice if my ship's colours and material were used (I'm proud of my design,) but the result came out looking so good that I don't care as much. I also understand that customising the patterns, colours, and materials for every order would be adding a really big layer to an already intensive project.

I'm off to deposit my 250,000 now....

I'm glad that you're happy with the signature! I will also email you a version that portrays your own ship, so that you can choose between the two different versions. This will take next to no time to swap out.

The reason I often opt to use a ship of similar design, is because by nature of being a screenshot, the quality is a little lower than some of the options I have available as substitutions.

Keep your eye on your email this morning, for the variant.

Edit: Updated signatures featuring your own vessel have been sent to your inbox. Feel free to choose from any of the originals or the variants!

Thanks again for your purchase!

Dave.

Thanks! It looks great!

I love my new sig.
:)

Glad you like it! Tell your friends! :D
