In a previous post, I talked about the evolution of sigs and font
effects, and then ended the post with the following sig:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::'' ''::' ':::::: `:::::::::::::'.::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::' :. : :. :::::: .::::::::::.:::'::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::: : :::. :::::::::::::..::::' '::: : ::::::::::::

I'm not sure what Mr G wants to know, but I think he likes the above
sig. Maybe he likes it because he's seeing it for the first time,
without seeing anything that it evolved from.
So, I guess I'm still talking about how font effects and sigs evolve.
The above sig was the result of a lot of tinkering. The font has been
used in many ways, like:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////##### //### //#### //##### //#### //### /##### ///#### //## /## /## /
////## /////## ///## /## /## /## /## ///## ///## /## /## /## /## /## /## //
////#### //## ///###### /##### //#### /## ///##### //## /## /## /## /## ///
//////## /## ///## /## /## ## //## ///## ///## ## //## /## /## /## /## ////
/##### ///### /## /## /## /## /#### //### /## /## //#### ///######## //////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This font is also used in other map sigs, including the title graphic
for the SAAAs (except the first one).
The map was the second generation diddling of a GIF conversion I made
of a map. The original GIF conversion was posted, reposted, talked
about, and somebody even made it into a animation. Then I diddled it
into the map you see in the above sig. I put the map and font together,
and got that particular map sig.
But as I've mentioned before, since I've worked on evolving all the
font effects and pics of my sigs, they are not very impressive to me. So
I surprised when somebody else likes them. But I guess it happens the
other way to, I'm always more impressed by other people's wark.
