My signature was suprisingly easy to make actually and as I have had a few requests I thoguht I would post how I did it! I'm no photoshop whizz
Firstly I grabbed afont called 'robokid' from http://www.1001freefonts.com/rfonts2.htm - the lines that appear above are actually the equivelent of the capitals. So I opened photoshop onto a transparent background and typed my name in - in capitals. Saved for the web as 4.gif (in tha timage I also added admin in a differnt font with _ after it.
As I am a photoshop idiot, I then opened 4.gif into paintshop pro 7 and proceeded to remove the _ from admin and one line from those capitalisation 'thing' save as 3.gif ... revert to 4.gif remove 2 lines from the capitiliasion 'thinger'. save as 2.gif ... revert to 4.gif removed _ again then removed all the lines and saved as 1.gif
I now have my four frames. What I then did was made blue the transparency colour and made as much as I could of the background blue (this makes my letters remain white on any background)
I then inserted image 1 into animation shop, followed by 2,3 and 4. Set the frame properties to half a second I think told it to loop and thats it!
The great thing is, all the software I used is free, or at least has fully functional trila versions available
