I still think thats rather large....See the forum rules on the top of anything like switcher hangout.

I believe that the requirement is exactly the size of my image.

I cant make the finder icon opaque, then you wont see the apple on the cube. Ill leave the one I have now without the cubes.

How about removing the border? The only background you post on is white so you will never notice the lack of transparency. The border is quite far away from the focus so it kind of loses its purpose anyway.

A second typeface for the text below your name might be a good idea too, and perhaps tighten them together a bit? At the moment the different elements of the image are kind of all over the place with seemingly little rhyme.

I like it but it definitely needs to be smaller. Right now it exceeds the allowable signature rules. You can see those here:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/announcement.php?f=4

It's too tall and the file itself is about twice as large as sigs are allowed to be.

But like I said, it's definitely a nice start, and I also agree with edge, a second font under might look cool.

A slightly bigger version of the one you have now would be cool, lose the little red apple though it looks lost and out of place. That newest version has too much activity in the background, it drowns out the text and the illustration. Definately stick with a lrger version of your current one. :)

should the apple logo be a different color, with no emboss? I liked the old one with the plain black apple, whatare your thoughts?
