Where does everyone get these signature graphics. being artistically challenged, i wouldn't even know how to begin making one. any help?

Dave,
I'm challenged in the same way...If you're referring to the "banners" like the one I have, I had another Armorama member volunteer to make it for me...I just emailed him the images (except the mortar, he found that) and he put it together for me...there are several guys on this site that are great about helping out in that way...I'm sure one would be happy to assist you....I just don't want to volunteer anyone without their first knowing your desire for a banner...

Hi Dave,
Try sending a PM to "Flitzer" he has done quite a few banners. It is quite possible that he is busy but I know if if he has the time he will gladly do one for you. Tell him Mal (Holdfast) suggested you speak to him.

Hey Holdfast, quick question.
Will a banner replace my user signature or can both be displayed?
Thanks

Should show both. See below.
What are you looking for in a banner?

I can also make banners. Mine may not be as good as Flitzer's but if you let me know what you want, I'll see what I can come up with.
Posted: Thursday, December 16, 2004 - 11:45 AM UTC
Flitzer made mines as well. I guess 505 of the banners on the site were made by Flitzer. Hes away on a dubble decker bus at the moment! :-) :-) :-)

M1,
I'm thinking of having some unit patches (3) from my Uncle's bomb group in there maybe with something like "IN HONOR OF" thrown in somewhere. Nothing very elaborate.

Thank you so much...I take back ALL (well almost) the bad things I've said about the RCR. Hopefully your computer will not suffer any lasting effects of having the badge of the Army of the West on it.

What patches or bomb group are you referring to? If I know that, I can throw something together for you. Also, what colors would you like?

If you give me the bomb group info, I can search Google and find some images that might work better than a scan. I can try with a scan if you prefer.

M1,
I'll save you the Google search and make it really easy for you.
www.456thbombgroup.org
On the front page you will see one of the patches, blue & white 456th BG. The other two are the 15th AF patch and the 745th BS patch. If possible the tail markings of the unit would be nice to get in there also.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Flitzer is an awesome banner maker. Also i believe that Slodder dabbles with banner making as well as he designed my very first banner i had.
However, below is the one that Flitzer did for me.
