While I know we are restricted to rectangles for image fields, I hate having to be restricted to a rectangular shape. The rectangle just seems like an uninteresting shape to me, so I mix it up a bit.
To the signatures and avatars I do make, I treat them like three dimensional builds. I make parts in layers and build up the final item with transparencies in the empty space so that while I might be contained to a blocky rectangle, my sigs/avys are not strict rectangles.
If I had more time on mine when I was making it, I had wanted to turn it into a gif with a dull pulsing light effect to the clan emblem, but once you have the parts it's all easy to add things like animation.
Hard to edit on a phone but I will add them in the spoiler. Most are not mwo related.
Edit: eff it. I will do it when I get home.
