You can go to www.militarysignatures.com and create cool sig blocks like these....

So, who is going to make a high speed CAP one for me? Eclipse, I know you've got skills...
Looks like the one you've got is pretty cool already...

Yeah, but it's military. I want one just like it but CAP. You could make some money. For CAP Talk/CadetStuff, I'd rather use a CAP one. Just sayin'....Christmas is right around the corner...
Nevermind. I saw something new that I thought was neat and someone made it clear (offline) that it's ghey. I guess I'll just keep using it over on the AF forums where it's appreciated... :(
Here it is, incase you wanted to see mine...

I have been in contact with the owner of the site(www.militarysignatures.com ) for a while. He is a disabled combat veteran who is making a living by developing the site. He does plan on making a CAP section... just be patient! I will keep everyone updated! He is one heck of a nice guy and puts out a quality product.
Well, anyone that would take the time to write a negative message pertaining to any signature line for former service members has some real issues, IMHO. Keep it up! I do appreciate your service and you have every right to be proud of it! Anyone who does not like my sig can eat a two week old plate of poop as far as I am concerned. Mine is staying! ;D

I just sent the site owner another email. Jay replied stating that he could have something CAP specific within a short amount of time. I just sent him reference material on CAP rankings, ribbons, badges, and etc so that he could have some reference items to look at.
Again, he is one heck of a nice guy and deserving of any business.

It's not all about the content, but less is more to a lot of folks. The
biggest issue is actually the size of the total sig element to include any additional text.
Of the lot of 'em Citizen Soldiers is probably the most reasonable size wise. If you're gonna do it... keep it small, keep it fast and lite, and drop the additional text. As an example, yours could be much smaller without losing anything important.

That's because he got the free one. I dropped $8.95 on mine so the ribbons weren't all spread along the bottom and I could add a few extra things. You can make them smaller, it's an option on the site, but then you lose a lot of the detail which leaves the viewer questioning the content.
I'm going to play with Paint and see what I can come up with for a CAP one.
FLWG has a great resource for CAP images. I found (again) after Eclipes hooked me up with most of the images I was looking for.
Someone's got skillz...

thanks stonwall its a hobby.... you should see my power points!
I think I'll sign up after I get my wings. I'd feel a little goofy with an AF sig with my two stripes and three ribbons...
I whipped this up. It's not reflective of my quals, but I used the images I had available.
(http://nharmon.multics.org/graphics/signature_pic.jpg)
I do think these need to be a bit wider and much thinner.
I like mine. Squadron patch, plain, simple, and compact. Not LARGE and FLASHY like some folks. >:D
you guys planning on putting those on your Roy Rogers PJs
Someone's jealous... And no, I'm not putting it on my PJs. I'm getting it as a tattoo.
The units I was in were so small no one carries the emblems! lol I sent him an email with the pictures of my unit patches to see if he can add them. It'll be nice when they allow multi-service sigs. And a CAP one would be even nicer. This guy rocks.
SWEET! He just digitized my AFFTC Shuttle Recovery Team patch. Looks pretty good, eh?
I like it. Very cool!

Doing a google search for CAP, I found this. It would be a good start to a CAP backdrop for a sig box.

I found that same image of the CAP aircraft and started toying around with something. Problem is I don't know how to adjust the images so there isn't a "box" behind them. Like how in your image the patches, rank and ribbons all seem to just be there. When I was working on it I couldn't get images without the box (or is it a border).
I'm sure it's a photo shop, paint or artwork thing and my skills are really really limited.

Will they be available for Cadets, not just SMs? ???

You can use yours for whatever you want. I read and post over on an Air Force forum on ocassion and I have a separate signature picture for that place.
Personally, I don't include these things on emails, even for CAP. I don't think my boss would be too impressed with a signature picture at the end of my emails depicting my CAP or Military background.
D2SK, where are you getting the images for the specialty badges, ratings, and rank?
They look nice!
Size annoyed...
But nicely played
You guys inspired me. Mine is below. It's lite on the "bling" but coming along I think.
You should incorporate the text below the pic.

Nah that's the 1* emblem. One Asterisk....think about it....
And I've seen some 2* designs on a couple of K9 t-shirts.
we wore this symbol on the back of our helmets on the tactical entry team i was a member of.
the creator of the symbol Butch Ramik stated "one ass to risk symbols are direct and to the point of what you do and are willing to risk everyday. Yes, we are proud warriors and first responders but safety first as always for you and your loved ones"
so one ass to risk..... when i broke open a door and filed behind a team mate and saw that on his helmet i knew i was there for him and he was for me. i was risking mine to save his. It was this ideal that was given to me in my first days of swat training that has stayed with me throughout the years.
As a Emergency Responder (i am a FireFighter / Paramedic and a Police Officer) I live that idea everyday. making sure i take calculated risks to save others has been in my mind every time the radio goes off. my safety my teams safety is first but sometimes a high calculated risk is worth taking to save others, placing my life in harms way to secure the life of another.
If my work was easy everyone would want to do it. there is no glory in risking everything for a stranger but there is honor in it. i have been surrounded by people of honor but i have never met a living hero, just a group of people that are able to function in extraordinary circumstance.
i see bravery every day. people that put themselfs into harms way risking their lives so that others may live. not heroes.... people of honor risking their a$$ to save yours!
In CAP we live the same ideals!
I'd like to play around with making a CAP one. What is a good program to use?
i use photoshop
Hi Paul, any more updates for us?
Nice. Too bad you have to pay. I will take another look at it sometime. :)
Well as you can see I found a different website that has them for free instead of paying $10. They do advertise their website on it there so that is the only disadvantage :)
One other disadvantage I can see: Misrepresentation as an Air National Guard airman... however unintentional it may be.
And text and banner sig is self defeating.
Op. My bad. I will remove it. Sorry about that. :(
Ooooo. I found a new one that lets you Create your own without Misrepresenting. :D
WAY too big! >:(

Also, they don't let you put clusters on meritorious service awards and the like. They also don't have many of the specialty badges.
Mine's a little big, but you can read the ribbons....
Borrowed an image for now, will re-do Sig file later.....
I have an image hosted on Military Signatures but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it into my sig block...I've tried cut/paste the URL but then all I get to show is the URL itself.
Very frustrating, especially considering that I was a computer technician some years ago...
You need to put the url for the pic between image tags.

Photoshop, generated the ribbon rack in the "Rack 'Em Up" iPhone application. Flag, Tracks, GT, and Comms from the web, ES was custom made from the Comms and the middle "badge" portion from the web.
