After scrolling through this entire thread and looking at all of the sigs, my two cents are that 95% of them are too busy. I don't know why everyone feels that if there's any empty space that it has to be filled. I'm a firm believer in "Simple is elegant." So something like rubah's or Azar's modification are clean and easy on the eyes. I also tend to like banners that are simple yet creative and clever in their design.


Also, the lack of pre-FFVII characters in a lot of these banners saddens me.
