it is transparrent. i did it in png becuase .gif was a little less quality. but ill change it if IE users cant see the transparrentness. 8.5/10 for yours. love the brushes and render, could use text. but stands on own well.
mmm... sliced sigs... havent seen those in a while.. really nice one, with a great render, colour scheme and text.. although maybe just a little too big? i dunno.. 9/10 current.. is alright.. dont think the render really fits with the background and the text isnt as good.. but good job on it anyway 8/10
