Here is my sig.  I personally love it, but I realize that it is to big.  
Can anyone think of a way to keep the spirit of the bird and font and the 
quote while making it smaller?  Thank you for your help.

   Here are a couple of quick diddles.  The first one is one line 
smoller, and the next two are two lines smaller than the original.

   And since it uses Red Phoenix's font, I thought I would use one of my 
map sigs that has it too.

Leave it alone, it's wonderful!  The limiting factor is the height of
the bird, and shrinking that will only worsen the picture.

A coworker at ClariNet sent me your .sig before this -- I was very
impressed.

I was very impressed by your reduction(s) of the eagle! I changed it a
little and put back the original Red Phoenix font -- it is still 6
lines (the original was 10).

Two alternatives:
