Sig fads

I'm not one for fads. I certainly wouldn't want or make a sig in a specific style just because other people are. However, if I like something and it just happens to be a fad, then sure - although I would be almost certain to put my own spin on it.

And if you think about it, it's almost impossible to come up with something that is truly original. Even if you think you've created something completely original, you can be almost guaranteed that someone, somewhere at some point has already done the exact same thing.

Sigs need fads just like everything does. *Cue the evil laugh*

It's is very true though. Not only do faction have a specific sig format for all their members, but there are community fads that have occurred, and are occuring. This thought just crossed my mind now, seeing all the 'pose' animation sigs. Before this the last big thing in sigs were the 'Mega City/Sin City' ones that were put together. Who has one of these new pose sigs? Who wants one of them? Who has no sig?

I've always believed sigs should show a unity towards your org and/or faction. Trilateral is being very generous by doing character sketches of everyone in the DoE, and that's obviously going to lead to a "group shot" once he's finished everyone that's asked for one. So I guess that's our little intra-faction "fad".

Personally, I don't like animated sigs. GIFs, Flash, anything. They just bother me, so I turned off image animation in my web browser.
