Hello there!
You want custom made signatures, avatars or any GFX request then post it here.
Our GFX Team : Link Removed
Have fun ... Link Removed due to 404 Error
Should we have some form of Team Badge ? ... so that other members know who is in the GFX Team and who to ask for say a Sig to be made ?
My first idea >
Just started a new group (GFX Team), so if your into GFX lets see what you can do ? the team should be able to take requests for Forum Sig's, Avatars etc. Team Logo made by me :)
