}I already posted some, but I'd can certainly repost.  I assume you want 
}.sig-sized ones.  Here you go:

Not a bad attempt, but it's incomplete.  Bascially, for much of the northern
hemisphere, it should be more along the lines of:

 ' '

 +'
               .
  .
   .   '        '
         .      '
                '
               .
     .+"



   .     '


or, the simple body/hourglass portion:

   .   '
         .


     .+"



   .     '

I don't know if you can create a decent .sig sized Orion without losing
the relative spacing and positioning which identifies it.  *shrug*
