Well I have recently(read last few minutes) found out why the bottom nevershows. Stroke doesn't like doing it's thing for me unless I got 3 or more pixels open around the whole sig. I generally only do that at the end. So doubtless occasionally I forget to give a border to the whole thing. Trying to get that more pat down.
As for the En Garde one, I knew it had issues, however, I couldn't spot them all on my own. I'll try some of what you said.
Border on the side of the moon? like this? Not very visible on this dark background of a forum.
Rogue... any better here?
--Edit--
En Garde, New and Improved
The text.... I think my border I added to it made it go really wrong. Also I haven't cut out any transparancy yet. Maybe I will maybe I won't.
