Originally used: Galactic Basic.

Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.

2004-Jun-28

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: PROG.BOT, OCRB.
Notes: For an ideal world where Internet Explorer actually supported Alpha-layer transparency in PNG files... If your browser isn't as outdated as IE, it should have a trasparent effect on the bg and some of the text.

2004-Jun-21

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: PROG.BOT, OCRB.
Notes: Decided I didn't like #35, and opted for a simpler look based on the design for my ID at deviantArt.

2004-May-18

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Misproject, OCRB.
Notes: Nice new sig in all it's greyscaley goodness. I got the idea for this one from the new site design I'm working on for my personal site. Features multiple BE logos! Whoo! I also changed to my smaller sig size of 500x50 from the usual 500x70.

Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: PROG.BOT, Runic MT Condensed, Verdana.
Notes: What was I thinking!? I'll stick to Beeurd: It's original, and everybody knows me by it... It's perfect! *hugs name*

Originally used: Galactic Basic, Sith Dominion, Fiction RealmsFiction Realms, Pod's WorldPod's World, far:from:silence official forums.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Diamond SF, Onyx, Verdana, Rochester.
Notes: I mentioned back in November '03 that I was getting bored of my name, I've been using the name "beeurd" since 1997, and it's begun to wear out. After much thought and consideration here is my new face for the internet. Not quite as original as before... But to quote LotR: "Dark have been my dreams of late".

Fonts: Onyx, OCRB.
Notes: Hehe, well, the Blended Beeurd thing started a while ago on GB, And after the apparent success of '100% Pure Beeurd Juice', I thought I'd make another beverage-themed sig. The Coca-Cola-ish look wasn't intentional but I think it works quite well.

2004-Mar-07

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPL.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: OCRB, Print Error, Papyrus.
Notes: The person in the sig is not me it's an actor called Brad Renfro who's likeness I chose as the face of my SW RPG character Jay Darksider; the Sith-turned-Jedi-turned-Sith-again, who is currently in a spot of trouble with the Galactic Alliance, and possibly the New Sith Empire aswell.

2004-Jan-31
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb, Sith Dominion.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Ultra Serif SF, Runic MT Condensed.
Notes: Decided I didn't like the images I had on the rotator thingy, and can't be bothered with the rotator anyway... Just back to my regular sig schedule.

2004-Jan-17
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb, Sith Dominion.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
Fonts: Verdana.
Notes: I had a random idea, and thought I'd put a little GB ad in my sig to show off the new forum theme I had made. Looking at it now, I realise I didn't actually put the URL in the sig, but it's usually in my profile anyway.

2004-Jan-16
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: MingLiu, OCRB.
Notes: I only really made this to test the new random sig image chooser I got. This image isn't too great.

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Ultra Serif SF, Onyx, OCRB.

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Wicker, Seraphim, Verdana.

Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.

Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason,
Why gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot.

2003-Sep-12
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: OCRB.
Notes: My second avatar design appeared because the old one no longer matched my sig or my site, and hadn't done for a good few months.

2003-Sep-07
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: New Brilliant, OCRB.
Notes: Because I didn't like the last one all that much, I changed it. Go me! (I like this one - simple yet effective)

2003-Sep-06
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: New Brilliant.
Notes: Okay, there is a hint of colour in my otherwise grey landscape. I thought it would be nice to bring my SSD back, but I think now it was a bad idea.

2003-Aug-11
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Institution.
Notes: Still in my grey phase... the pic of me was taken from my webcam ans shrunk and cropped and then I made some weird cloudy and lightning effect. Not too pleased with it, but meh.

2003-Jun-11
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: New Brilliant, OCRB.
Notes: I had a moment of random patrioticness while I was making this one. For some reason I have taken a liking to grey... The future is grey...

2003-Jun-11
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Notes: Some boards were stretching my old avatar to 70x70 pixels, so I just made it that size.

2003-Feb-28
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Fonts: Institution, New Brilliant, News Gothic MT.
Notes: I thought it was about time I had a new sig (I didn't realise it had been 5 months though), and I had been experimenting with PSP7, which I had recently got. Although I'm not happy with the edes of the Beeurd Empire logo, I think the mixture of old and new worked rather well.

2002-Sep-11
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint.
Fonts: Impact, Arial.
Notes: I wanted a bold new look for my sig, and this was it. Nobody believes me when I tell them I only used Paint to make it. Eventually I remade the BeeurdEmpire site from the design of this sig.

2002-Jun-20
Originally used: Endless Corp, EVE Online.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: ???, New Brilliant.
Notes: I briefly joined the Endless Corp of a MMORPG called EVE Online, I made this sig to use at their forums. I left Endless to play Star Wars Galaxies.

2002-Jun-17
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint.
Notes: My first proper avatar, it was designed to fit in with Sig version 9. The image is named 203.jpg as this was my original member-number at JPdb, so this was before 203 became my lucky number!

2002-May-17
Originally used: Galactic Basic, JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Impact, Diamond SF.
Notes: The first sig that featured the beeurdEmpire logo. Apologies for the quality, but the higher-res version has been lost.

2002-May-06
Originally used: JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Seabird, Arial, New Brilliant.
Notes: With all the excitment of Star Wars Episode II, I could hardly stand by and not join in the crowd of renames and special sigs going on at JPdb, could I?

2002-Jan-20
Originally used: JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: ???, New Brilliant, MiniSystem, Institution.
Notes: Just a smaller version of the previous one.

2001-Dec-30
Originally used: JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: ???, New Brilliant, MiniSystem, Institution.
Notes: After the disaster that was version 5 I reverted back to version 4 but made a few changes.

2001-Dec-29
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Kids, MiniSystem, Techno Delight NS, ???.
Notes: It sucks; what can I say? I cringe everytime I see this, feel priviledged that I allowed you to see this monstrosity that should have been erased the second it landed its pixelated butt on my hardrive. Do I have to mention that I never used it?

2001-Dec-25
Originally used: JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint.
Fonts: System.
Notes: Avatar I made for when the Bring Back Nublar Campaign for Jurassic Park IV was a big thing. As you can see, I poured all my effort into this one.

2001-Nov-22
Originally used: inGenNET, JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: New Brilliant, MiniSystem, Westminster, Institution.
Notes: I just felt like a change when I made this one. Plus, being on a Jurassic Park site everyone knew I was a JP fan, so I wanted to show my love of Star Wars, too.

2001-Oct-10
Originally used: inGenNET.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Jurassic, Westminster.
Notes: After 11th September 2001, a lot of the USA members made patriotic sigs; so I thought I would too. I was unable to get the file-size to below inGenNET's limit myself, so Red Eye Raptor did it for me - thanks!

2001-Sep-22
Originally used: The Cantina.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Aurebesh, Arial, ???.
Notes: The Cantina was my first attempt at a Star Wars forum. ProBoards, of course, being the n00b-aspiring-to-be-an-admin's first stop.

2001-Sep-18
Originally used: inGenNET.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Aurebesh, Jurassic.
Notes: For a while inGenNET banned sigs. In way of protest, several other members and myself manually added our sigs to the end of every post. The Aurebesh says "wants sigs back!!"

2001-Aug-21
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed, Kids, Ache.
Notes: After hosting an email sig for Cyclopsis Raptor, I decided to make my own. Eventually I got bored of it, and couldn't be bothered to make a new one.

2001-Aug-20
Originally used: inGenNET, JPdb.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Jurassic, Basic Sans Light FS.
Notes: The original sig was decidedly huge, so I made a smaller version, and added my email and web addresses.

2001-Aug-06
Originally used: inGenNET.
Made with: Microsoft Paint, MGI PhotoSuite II SE.
Fonts: Jurassic.
Notes: The Tyrannosaur skeleton was scanned from the front of the Jurassic Park DVD case, and flipped horizontally so it was facing the opposite way.
