Anyways, the theme for the new SOTW 1 will be: Megaman charactersSpecial Conditions:The sig must be in black/white.The sig cannot contain Megaman.

Two words: :D ?Why not megaman, and why black and white? SotW gets too few entries as it is without over-complicating stuff. :D

@br - the vA section is the only section i really goto anymore aside from occasionally the spam center so personally its my favorite.Also i think that a very good theme would be nightlife. If it hasnt already been done, i dont think it has though) Night life would create some very good signatures assuming people actually tried at it, even though most of the entries would be photomanips im sure certain people would do it very creatively and quite beautifullyAnother good theme would be vectors due to the mass variety of them and also you can easily distinguish a good one from a bad one. Also i think there would be many entries into a vector competition due to how easy a simple vector is. Just certain people would pull off the ones to distinguish it, but it would also give a slight possibility to the new guys

What about something that describes yourself, or something that expresses your emotions while making your sig, such as if your happy it would be bright and colorful, or if you're sad it would be gloomy and dark.Meh. I don't get myself.

Music, typography, and vector sound like good themes to me.I feel like there's been a lot of destruction/action/fighting themes lately. Maybe something different would be a nice change.

we already did music, i vote for vectors, but it cant be abstract because that would make the judging process very difficult

You can always make a vector of something or someone. Doesn't always have to be abstract.Anyway, what would be so hard about judging abstract vectors?

The judges are assumed to know how to judge, so, ideally, they should know what they're doing. They should be able to choose a signature that is good overall, including colors, design, etc.I think there's a problem in that area though.So who actually does the judging?
